FIRE BEN CHERINGTON

Did he think he could trade Adrian Gonzalez for Alex Gonzalez straight up and think we wouldn’t notice?!

Joe, the reason we shout "WE ARE" and the reason the answer will always be "PENN STATE"

60-Day and Non-tenders

Lackey and Dice will move back to the 60-Day once the Rule V has passed so that clears up two slots giving the team 4 for FAs

There are also non-tender options in Atchison, McDonald and Miller

also, Hill is sure to be non-tendered

though I’m sure they’ll try to re-sign him to a minor league deal and probably will.

Also, McDonald missed the super two cutoff by 2 days, so he’s actually not arb eligible.

If Dustin is really 5'9" I'll eat my wallet

I bet he was wearing heels when he got measured

I'm a 7 WAR player in bed.
