Am I missing something?
The a's basically swap colon for kazmir, Balfour for Johnson, add payroll and give up a prospect and bean is being talked about by the national media as some genius.
Why is this a good deal?

Gentry to Oakland...Michael Choice to Texas
Rangers get OF Michael Choice and 2B Chris Bostick.
Michael was the As first rounder in 2010.

Bowden says edge to rangers on this one.
Selling high on Gentry.
Choice is batting over .300 in the minors and was Oakland 's third best prospect. Also a hometown kid. I like it and I'm sure the kids is thrilled to be home.
Gonna miss Gentry though. Always brought it every game
Losing Gentry sucks. Dude was a solid player for this club. Him and Chris Davis are out here today playin my course with our golf pro, he got the call on the 6th tee and left after 9 holes.

I think this is a good trde. Michael Choice has much greater upside potential. Love this kid.
Isn't it ironic that bean has won executive of the year given what hes done the last 24 hours?
I think Texas will win this trade pretty big and will show sooner than later.
Choice has the potential to be a real player...Gentry is more of a 4th outfielder and probably will never be more than that

Loved gentry, but he is what he is. He's 30 years old and is a solid 4th OFer
Nice write up over on Fangraphs on the Gentry trade.
In other news, Mariners supposedly have an offer to Cano for 8 years/$200 mil. I doubt Cano is doing anything but using the M's. M's also rumored to have given Beltran 3 year/$48 mil offer.

Mariners still in on Nellie?
thus far the Mariners are rumored to have offered:
Nelly - 4/75
Beltran - 3/48
Cano - 8/200
Poor guys.
Nelly - 4/75
Beltran - 3/48
Cano - 8/200
Poor guys.
I would take Cano all day for 8/200. It's baseball folks..you always end up eating contracts in the end.
quote:I'd be happy with Beltran and Cano at those deals, not Nelly, who I want them to stay far away from.
Nelly - 4/75
Beltran - 3/48
Cano - 8/200
3/21 for Salty is pretty good deal for Marlins. Can't believe he didn't get more.
the yankees are insane for spending that much on ellsbury
Agree token.
Wow...crazy money for JE. That city is going to eat him alive if he doesn't have the numbers again.
There is no way JE is worth that amount of money. Typical yankees
Disagree. They way is that he stays healthy. If he does, he'll have a chance to earn that contract.
Him staying healthy is. Huge if.
quote:
The full three-team trade trade has Heath Bell, Ryan Hanigan and cash considerations going to the Rays while the Reds will get David Holmberg from the Diamondbacks and Arizona will receive minor league right-hander Justin Choate and a player to be named later.
I'm okay with this from the Rays' POV. They're paying a little more for Bell than they'd normally like to, but he's going to be a solid 8th or 9th inning guy. Hanigan is probably penciled in as the starting catcher, but it's going to be an interesting spring at the position, with Molina being resigned and Lobaton out of options.
Oh, AJ Pierzynski to Boston? Have fun with that ******bag.
I'll admit it. I throw the ball at him when I'm playing a baseball video game.

$22m/year for Ellsbury at 35, 36 and 37?
El oh el.
El oh el.
this signing makes zero sense

this signing makes zero sense
When the Yanks can't beat 'em, they buy 'em. Difference between Ellsbury and Damon is that Damon was loved in Boston. Ells was liked but never really lived due to his bi-annual, season long, injury stint. Similar to JD Drew (albeit a better player but still fragile).

this signing makes zero sense
Sure it does -- it's the "we've made an attempt to be fiscally responsible for a few years but ticket sales have suffered along with the results. **** it, we're going to buy a championship again."
Don't be shocked when Cano and Choo both get signed by NYY.
