When will Keuchel and Correa be eligible for those big contracts? I'm seriously thinking Keuchel gets 250 / Correa 300
Greinke never lied about going to the highest suitor. Good Lawd!! Enjoy pitching at great success(Borat) with a horrible club. Hopefully they wont have enough to pay Paul and he wants to come back home.
Eh the DBacks have one of the best offenses and adding Greinke and getting Corbin back should help their rotation a lot. They are not terrible.
If I ever have a son, I'm putting a baseball in his left hand asap. Set of golf clubs and a kicking tee also.

Scott Feldman looks like a steal at $8 M for next year. Not sure his numbers will even be that much worse. I hope the stros focus on a bat and bullpen help. Our pitching may be just fine and more than fine when you see these huge contracts going to mediocre pitchers.

That many teams suggest Kazmir hasn't gotten an overpay offer and that a lot of teams consider it possible to get him at market value.

Hard to imagine the Dodgers could package better prospects than the Astros.... but it seems that we're still unlikely to give up whatever they're asking for (that, or Jocketty just won't deal with Luhnow out of spite).
They have a more top heavy system than us so if they are willing to include one of their studs (most likely De Leon) then they have a good shot. Everyone is talking about the Reds having all of this leverage but people forget Chapman only has one year left on his deal.
Dodgers have plenty of prospects. De Leon, Urias, Peraza, Bellinger, Verdugo, Holmes, Yadier Alvarez.
