Random Canada/Mexico bench clearing brawl? Why not.

So let me get this straight. The Yanks this entire off season have been preaching fiscal responsibility. They nickled, and dimed a few useful players off this team, and turn around and pull this. lulz

the WBC is responsible for paying players' salaries while they are injured, if they got injured with their national teams. So if they end up paying 6-7m of teixera's salary, the yankees end up on-budget including the 6.5m of Wells' contract they're picking up.

I was just reading about the Tex situation which helps financially. It doesn't help the situation of now having Vernon Wells, and his whopping .675 OPS over his last 800 abs on this team. This guy has been a black hole almost that entire contract he signed.

Not complaining though, keep it up Yanks!

Holy fuck, Tigers. Verlander will be getting almost a million dollars a start.

Justin Verlander gets massive deal

*boggle* That's a fuckton of money.

Posey wrapped up for 9/$167.

Probably the homer coming out in me, but I love the deal.

I don't think that's a bad deal. He's one of the best ball players in the league right now. Plus he's a class act. The signing is akin to Joey Votto's monster deal from last season. No regrets. Players like that are few and far between.

The Giants suck though and won't even make playoffs next year so it might not work out after all.

Please refer to them as the World Series Champion Giants when talking about how much they suck. Thanks.

Aren't they returning everyone? Why would they suck?

Lincecum has looked pretty bad in ST though.

I hold a strong dislike for the Giants for reasons unknown. Plus, the Dodgers have a strong shot at that division.

Also, Natinals.

Not surprised.

Nationals over the Tigers in 6 games.

Reds over A's. Sweep.
