Cueto to SF

[Tank]

according to SI:

 

Free-agent starting pitcher Johnny Cueto has agreed to a six-year deal with the San Francisco Giants pending a physical, the team announced. The move was first reported by ESPN’s Buster Olney. According to FOX Sports' Jon Morosi, the contract is worth $130 million with an opt-out player option for 2017.

Giants don't expect to spend big on a free agent outfielder. Still looking at trade options.

[tdawg87]

Gentry for Bumgarner

[Stradling]

Throw in Choi if you need to to sweeten the deal

[ettin]

The Dodgers have a tremendously strong farm system and I still see them using some of those trade chips to acquire a young frontline starter such as Carrasco, Salazar, Moore, et al. They have the ammunition to do it and it would fit in with their payroll goals.

SF's pitching could be pretty beast

[eligrba]

_{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 only move St. Louis needs to make is a trade with the Angels to get better.

Alcoholic parents aren't as disappointing as our lack of spending this offseason. 

[ten ocho recon scout]

Is that the same deal Az offered?

To be honest, i kind of would have liked to see us make a run at him. Figured he would get more than that

[vladdy#27]

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.

 

We traded Guillen for Juan Rivera and Maicer Izturis

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.

 

 

Oh please. They have a tremendous farmsystem and a talented roster.

They're going to win 90+ again.

 

I would take Corey Seager over any angel not named Trout.

This site talks about what other teams are doing, but the Angels aren't doing jack shit!

Wait, the Dodgers have payroll goals?

[QuinlansMinion]

Correct me if im wrong but does this mean Matt Cain is now the Giants 5th starter?  They are going to be set on pitching next year.

Yes but Cain has really struggled lately.

 

If he rebounds to 70% of what he was in 2012, they will have arguably the best pitching staff in baseball next year

In case no one is aware...

 

 

lol wha?

the games are jam packed all year every year.

[Docwaukee]

The more I think about it, the more I think this is a solid deal and would have been just fine with it had we gone there.  Not upset we didn't, but it would have been a solid add to the top of the rotation.  

[HaloMilliVanilli]

I agree with you Doc.  Would've given us a stronger top of the rotation and an additional surplus from which to trade from.

[JAHV76]

I still believe the Angels go big on LF probably Cespedes, sign a second tier starter like Leake or Gallardo and a reliever like Bastardo
