The Rockies have agreed to terms with a pair of veteran relievers on two-year contracts, the club announced. Both Jason Motte and Chad Qualls are headed to Colorado.

Motte will receive a $10MM guarantee over his two years, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports (Twitter links). And Qualls will take home a $6MM overall promise from Colorado, Rosenthal adds.


9:26am: Center fielder Jon Jay is going to San Diego in the deal, ESPN.com’s Keith Law reports on Twitter. Joel Sherman tweets that the deal is done.

9:20am: The Cardinals are closing in on a trade for Padres infielder Jedd Gyorko, Jon Morosi of FOX Sports reports on Twitter.

Plouffe will be traded before ST.

They are playing this "we really don't want to trade him...really!" game to drive up the asking price. And every GM in the league knows it.

Status: offline 		In losing both Alex Gordon and Alex Rios to free agency the Royals now have two corner outfield spots to fill and general manager Dayton Moore indicated today that they plan to give Jarrod Dyson one of the starting jobs.

Dyson has been a semi-regular for the Royals since 2012, averaging 100 games and 271 plate appearances per season while hitting .260 with a .668 OPS. His hitting is well below par for a corner outfielder–he’s totaled just six homers in 443 games as a big leaguer–but Dyson has 40-steal speed and excellent range.

Dyson would allow the Royals to save money on one starting job and avoid making a multi-year commitment to a player who might end up blocking a prospect like Bubba Starling as soon as 2017. Also worth noting: Kansas City won the World Series with Rios posting a .640 OPS in right field, so the bar for Dyson to clear isn’t a high one.

Say no to James Shields

I see no benefit in getting rid of one bad contract and taking on another, even longer bad contract.

After more than a week of rampant speculation, the Shelby Miller blockbuster that many anticipated has arrived. The Braves on Tuesday reportedly agreed to send Miller and left-handed relief prospect Gabe Speier to the Diamondbacks in exchange for outfielder Ender Inciarter, right-handed pitching prospect Aaron Blair and shortstop prospect Dansby Swanson, the latter of whom was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 draft back in June.

Great move by the Cubs
Zobrist was the main reason for the Royales success, IMO.
Talk will always be about their pitching and D, but Zobrists timely hits put them over the top.

Status: offline 		NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Major League Baseball recommended teams have protective netting between the dugouts for any field-level seats within 70 feet of home plate.

The guidelines were announced Wednesday at the winter meetings following a season in which several fans were injured by foul balls, prompting MLB to study fan safety. Most teams are expected to expand their use of netting.

"It is important that fans have the option to sit behind protective netting or in other areas of the ballpark where foul balls and bats are less likely to enter," Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. "This recommendation attempts to balance the need for an adequate number of seating options with our desire to preserve the interactive pre-game and in-game fan experience that often centers around the dugouts, where fans can catch foul balls, see their favorite players up close and, if they are lucky, catch a tossed ball or other souvenir. "

The recommendation also applies to spring training ballparks, many of them owned by municipalities.


Well, scratch off one area I will no longer sit.
Nothing worse than looking thru netting.
Screw that. Pay attention. Watch the game, and stop eating or texting or daydreaming.
