.@Dodgers sign 2B Chase Utley to one-year contract. #WinterMeetings

The Dodgers continue their obsession with name value over statistical value.

Mets are working on bringing bartolo colon back to fill that 5th starter slot now. Very possible @MarcCarig on it

Chapman toxic asset?

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...lence-trade-asset-untouchable-toxic/77019372/

When asked specifically about a Yahoo Sports story on Chapman that included a copy of a police report, Baker said he hadn’t read it. Let’s see, according to the report, Chapman allegedly choked his girlfriend, shoved her against a wall, fired his handgun eight times in his garage and punched out the window of his SUV — all with their 4-month-old daughter inside the house.

Seems like the perfect compliment to Puig!

Orioles didn't increase 7-year offer to Davis. Source: "Not one nickel." Offer off table, although O's would pick up thread of past talks.

Damn, Sipp was one of the guys I was hoping ARZ would bring in to solidify the bullpen.

Man, imagine around every 25th K he will hit one 600 feet and out of the stadium if he ended up in CO

I had the same thought

Probably common knowledge but Chapman deal dead.

Nationals Mariners and Dbacks were in the pursuit for him.

Hearing talk that Jason Heyward isn't looking for 10 years at $20M/year. More like $24M/year for 8 or 9 years.

Most fascinating tidbit I heard today: The Royals talked to the Reds about dealing for Todd Frazier. Presumably would play him in LF
