Cueto to SF

[GrittyVeterans]

Ha, suck it Dodgers!

[OregonLAA]

Ugh. If I have to hear more "even year" bullshit, I'm going to go to a Marlins game and punch Bonds in the face

Hmmm....

 

Did you know that the Giants win their World Series on even years and the next season, 2016, is an even year?

That puig for wilson deal is looking pretty good right about now

[Docwaukee]

I don't the the Dodgers had any intention of going huge into the free agent market this year.  I think they would have taken Greinke back, but that's about it.  

 

There was going to be a transition for them where they stop spending like drunken sailors on leave when they felt their prospects were ready to contribute.  

 

The problem they are running into now is that a player that was a huge asset has now become a liability in Puig.  Trade him and you won't get what he could be worth.  Keep him and mess with your team chemistry.  

 

If they, however, want to trade us Jose Peraza and Scott Van Slyke for CJ Wilson, then we'd be happy to oblige.

This big spend on a SP by the Giants, hopefully, eliminates them as competitors to the Angels in the LF free agent market.

or it could put the Dodgers in the mix for a FA OFer and then they could trade Puig and Ethier for pitching.  

[Turd Ferguson]

Good, takes SF out of the OF market--more than likely.

[UndertheHalo]

I doubt the Dodgers will be players in the OF market.  This is excellent news for us.  Giants were legit threat.

Maeda to Dodgers most likely now IMO

You think the Dodgers are regretting that Heaney for Howie deal?

[Erstad Grit]

I think they regret giving up on dee Gordon

Hey I've seen some great specials on flights from Portland to Miami on Expedia, LOL.

[tomsred]

Does this mean we can get Upton, Cespedes and Gordon?  We can trade Cron and Wilson and get a good second baseman, and eventually trade one of Upton, Cespedes or Gordon (or two of the three) for an ace at the trade deadline.

[disarcina]

SF Giants bolster their weak spot -- starting pitching -- they're going to have a fairly good rotation now.

 

strong infield, decent starting pitching, pretty good pen -- and one slight weak spot in LF now for them........not bad.

 

Dodgers need to make a move to catch up

 

Speaking of that -- what's the word on Kendrick? He hasn't signed anywhere yet has he? Any bites yet?

 

He was having a good first half and a good  2015 season until he got hurt.......

The Dodgers are caught in the middle, they're not making the moves to compete with the Cubs, SF, St. Louis or the Pirates, and they aren't rebuilding aggressively.

_{St. Louis hasn't made many moves this off-season -- they've lost guys, Heyward, etc.}

 

_{Of course, they'll have Wainwright back for the full season next year.}

The Angels didn't seem to have a problem not getting value out of Appier by releasing him. Nor Guillen that had another year on his contract. Nor Matthews that they basically gave to the Mets paying nearly all of the $23 million owed. Then there is Wells, another bucket of balls and salary payout and the worst id Hamilton. That's a damn lot of money to get the cancer removed over and over. I guess the Dodgers prefer the disease.

[nikkachez]

This could be perfect. St. Louis said they weren't going to make any "dynamic" moves and now SanFran blew the wad on another SP. Takes two legitimate threats away in the OF race. Now sign one, Eppler!

i hate SF.

 

this deal doesn't affect the hate.

[Stradling]

In case no one is aware...

Except the fans show up every year. Outside of that the meme is pretty accurate. There's less than 20k difference in attendance over the course of a season in any season from 2011-2014. I couldn't find their attendance for 2015.
