Some Houston fans want the Astros to perhaps deal for Votto or Frazier along with Chapman. They like things large in Texas.
I just keep wondering how long until the Blue Jays just plunk down the Canadian cash and get Joey Votto from the Reds. It might not happen after the big flip, but there was some talk of swapping with Jose Bautista to the Reds in a deal for Votto, but that was before you knew how JV would play coming out of the injury.

if the tigers are any indication the tigers prefer a certain sort of player which might not be mookie, though i think they'd be crazy to trade him

simmons for one year of erick aybar, LHP sean newcomb, RHP chris ellis
newcomb is really good, but only has seven starts above class a, and half of those came in an extreme pitchers park (arkansas)
― mookieproof, Thursday, 12 November 2015 23:51 (eight years ago) link
Barves also got $3 million.
Acc to a FB person, Angels pitchers were last in the majors in ground ball percentage allowed.

@keithlaw Doesn't have to be a winner/loser in every trade. I love Simmons and I think Newcomb could be special

angels have absolutely nothing left on the farm, and shortstop wasn't (yet) one of the holes that needed filling

Fascinating trade -- I like it for both teams and yet I have no idea how it will pan out long term. A huge range of outcomes are in play.

they had like four good position players and one good pitching prospect and trade one of those position players and that pitching prospect for a marginal upgrade at SS. at least simmons is on a good contract but smh.

http://m.mlb.com/news/article/157705878/mlb-fox-streaming-deal-a-great-thing-for-fans
Baseball got more accessible for millions of fans on Thursday when Commissioner Rob Manfred announced a three-year deal with FOX Sports in which 15 teams will allow in-market streaming of games on phones, tablets and other devices.These 15 teams are the ones with games carried by FOX regional sports networks -- Angels, Braves, Brewers, Cardinals, D-backs, Indians, Marlins, Padres, Rangers, Rays, Reds, Royals, Tigers, Twins and Yankees -- and Manfred said baseball is negotiating with the carriers of the other 15 teams to try to complete similar agreements by Opening Day.This announcement means that if you subscribe to your local FOX broadcasts of your team, you will be able to watch the games on your phone or tablet in that market. Previously, teams hadn't been allowed to stream their own games into their local market. This is one of those days when the world shifted a bit, when it got just a bit smaller and connected us to our local teams in ways we've never been connected before.
