Oso planning to go pro
I think Bryant's decision makes a ton of sense - its all about the full no trade clause. He extracts a "bad organization premium" from the Rockies, who I'm willing to bet offered significantly more years and money than anyone else. He goes to Coors, which will inflate his numbers - his hard hit rate is actually pretty bad for a player of his caliber, and in Coors a ton of those will fall for hits. That inflation will keep him in demand, and when the Rockies turn it all over again - which will happen - the full no trade clause allows him to choose his destination among interested contenders. So he gets his bag and basically gets to choose what team pays him that money in a couple of years.
I think the Tigers' 1 year, $5.5 million deal with Pineda with innings pitched bonuses is the first deal I've seen this offseason where I went - "damn, I wish the Brewers had made that exact deal."
Trevor Story to the Red Sox.
I believe they are trying to alienate every Red Sox fan. I think this means this is Bogaerts' last season with the Red Sox. Bogey ought to move to second or third, because he doesn't have the arm for short, but I'd rather have our guys stay rather than get similar guys who aren't out guys. At least they finally did something.
ALBERT PUJOLS SIGNS A 1 YEAR DEAL WITH THE CARDS. HE'S BACK. BABY!
14 paragraphs coming on his importance to the game as well as why he will win the triple crown.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.

Yeah, it's working so well for the Lakers.
