Not really a diss just his MO. The Tigers were damn good for awhile there

Lol, wasn't even drunj

Kudos for reading....

And if he only starts 17 games it's going to be tough to get that 220 inn I projected...and insane pitch counts it would be.

An Ironwedge moment [emoji15]

Arizona is not even a big market club. The sport is just swimming in an ocean of money.

Unless you are in Cleveland.

I read in a Deadspin article about this signing that Arizona just signed a $1.5B contract with Fox Sports or something like that, so that has a lot to do with that. I don't know what Cleveland's deal is, though, so I can't compare if they have that sort of TV money to throw around.

Looks like it's a done deal and Chapman was traded to the Dodgers for two prospects.

With only a year left, that makes sense that they can't get a ton out of him. But he was gone at the end of the season, so might as well get SOMETHING for him.

I think the Tribe already cashed in their TV deal on Bourn & Swisher. smdh

God damnit. Two mid level prospects for the (arguably) best closer in baseball? Fuck!

But yeah I didn't realize he was leaving after this year so might as well get something.

Closers just don't seem to have any value. Somewhat surprising, as you can't really win without one these days.

That doesn't fill me with hope, as this is the last year (I think) the Pirates have Melancon under contract and one rumor was that they'd trade him and move Watson into the closer role. If that's all Cincy got for Chapman, I can't imagine them getting a great deal or immediate help for Melancon, which would suck.
