Porcello 5 years ago wouldve been nice since he was a top pitching prospect. Porcello today is a middle of the road veteran. No thanks.

Closer market just doesn't seem to be that great. A little while ago, the rumor was straight-up Porcello for the Pirates' Joel Hanrahan and the impression I got was that the Tigers wanted something more.

^^^no, Nick.

Rumors continue to swirl that the Tribe is the front runner to land Swisher for a number of reasons:).

Reportedly...Swisher would really like to be a Dodger, but the feelings aren't mutual.

I had heard before 2 years 16 million. 4 for 13 million doesn't make any sense...even for the Tribe.

The Dodgers will only be interested in Swisher if they can move Ethier and nobody wants his contract.

He turned down a 1 year $13.3 million contract from the Yankees, I would be stunned if he took a 2 year deal that payed on a fraction more than what he would have gotten for just this year.

All of what I've seen has centered on 4 yr/$48-52 million. Early reports thought that he could command $60 million.

I think the Phils or the Rangers will come in at the last minute, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

4 yr/$48-52 million....isn't that our team payroll?? I don't see tight-ass Dolans coming up with that. Hope I'm wrong.

I love it. He is going to bring that A's/Yankees approach to the plate. Take pitches, work pitchers and draw walks. Swisher probably walks more than anybody who isn't a typically power hitter.

Theyve done more this offseason then they have in the last 5 years combined. Im not even going to count the CC and Lee trades that brought right next to nothing.

Nope, those mid 90s teams are the only thing that makes me smile when I think of the Tribe.
