Not surprised on Napoli but a but at Davis, I think he wanted to stay an Indian. I'm surprised that Toronto would make an offer to Bautista after all the shit he talked last season. If I were him I'd take it, I don't think there'll be lines bidding for his services. Though 34 at next season Encarnation must choose wisely I'd figure his best deal may be two years.
Rangers have not found a Trade for Derek Holland and will Decline his Option as per MLBTradeRumors.com
I heard its a mirror of Epsteins Plan. I hope he has what it takes to orchestrate such, in yrs to come.
Royals will not give Qualifying Offers to Kendrys Morales and Edinson Volquez as per Jeffrey Flanagan.
...some of these QOs don't surprise me but Weiters does...from what I've read some of them (Cespedes for one) are being made knowing that the player will not accept it and will seek free agency and so whoever signs that player must cough up a draft pick to the player's current team. ...Cespedes and Dexter Fowler will probably get ridiculous contracts.
...wow...Indians did not make QOs to both Mike Napoli and Rajai Davis and are not picking up the 2017 option on Coco Crisp. ...looks like quite a turnover for the Indians next year. ...and here's a shocker ...James Shields decided to stay with the White Sox and not opt out...gee, I wonder why? http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...s-keeps-deal-chicago-white-sox-rather-go-free
This surprises me also , the only thing I can think of is that he is happy where he is or doesn't feel like re-locating again until next year.
...lol..I was being facetious...after last year's horrendous performance, no one is going to offer anything near what he's already making. Record 6-19 ERA 5.85 WHIP 1.60
