George died and the yankees stopped paying the tax

So excited to be at the Yankees in early April. Makes going so easy and fun to sit in the cold and get heckled

Wait attendance isn't important?! It hugely important, ticket sales and concession are the main revenue drive. For example, the Braves made $100 million from tehir RSN last year. Their total revenue was $663 milliion

Ok. It is still a completly ridiculous proposal then. Lets use a first round pick to save $5 million in four years

ummm what cap space savings? LaPorta is on a rookie deal and has a $2.5 million hit this year, and $3million next year. Pick 29's cap hit is larger than that. It would actually costs us more to have Loveland

Doubt it. Only cause spring training trades are crazy rare and anyone who is moved sucks and if you get anything out of them its just a fluke (nyjer morgan anyone). Teams spend all offseason prepping their teams and getting the guys they like/want/afford in place. Unlikely teams are gonna make a change at at the 1130th hour for some other team cast off. Plus nobody is gonna give up much knowing guy X isn't good enough for your team. Especially not an unproven guy like Tork. Why would any team say give up a decent pitching prospect for a guy who already has his clock going that has major league struggles and the Tigers replaced? So your just getting crap back. Be better just to keep him.

totally fair

Rogers nears deal with the Steelers

rather have him in toledo on starter's schedule then on a bullpen schedule

They still dont

Ok and which player are the cubs gonna cut to keep him, one of the free agents they signed this offseason or their top prospect?

But when he came up didn't they modify it so it was more sinker and less that splitter he had in college?

Workman was taken in the rule 5 by cubs from us. IF he doesn't make the cubs roster he is returned. That is what Edman was referencing. Not the DFA situation
