My biggest takeaway from that. I can understand being prideful and Jones basically belittling something that he dedicated his life to, whether he felt he was joking or not. This gives them almost two months of back-and-forth, and trying to draw the fans who wanted to specifically see Jones-Gustafsson back into buying the PPV.

@i_stay_puft: looked like that small headbutt from Jones was enough to spark everything, I wouldn't say bad blood necessarily. Probably just neither guy wanting to give an inch or show any sign of backing down in the least.

@gaff: He looks like James Franco in Pineapple Express.

I don't have a lot of time to play games for 7-9 months out of the year, so when I do get to play I have a lot of games that I've been itching for so I decide what I feel most like playing when I sit down to play.

Fully regrettable purchase for me. I barely put any time into the game and got bored quickly. Whenever I try to go back and get into it I can barely make it through one match.

@white_sox: One can hope. The first time Stanton was ever talked about in a trade was in 2008 to the Red Sox for Manny, which shows the caliber of player they knew he was back then. If that trade had been completed...oh doctor.

@dalai: Ranaudo looks pretty good going against the Yankees tonight for the Sox and they have Henry Owens, who has top of the rotation stuff likely finishing out the season in Triple-A and possibly making the major league roster out of spring training next season.

@finaldasa: The Red Sox have such a deep farm system, the Lackey for Craig move makes zero sense to me, their outfield depth right now looks like Jackie Bradley Jr, Cespedes, Nava, Brock Holt, Mookie Betts. I'm not even putting Victorino into the equation because he's been hurt for most of the season and just went back on the DL today.

Admittedly I don't know much about farm systems outside of the red Sox organization, so I don't know what they have for developing talent, but it seems like the demand for Price would have been higher once Lester was off the market. I don't know why there wasn't more of a return.

I was really hoping the Red Sox would do some kind of sign and trade with Cespedes, sending him to Miami with Miller and Lackey for Giancarlo Stanton. The Red Sox will be incredibly lucky if they're able to re-sign Lester, and it was a good move to send him to a team who likely wouldn't make an off season push to sign him.

I'm surprised the Rays moved Price, they've been the hottest team in baseball since the All Star break, I figured they would hang onto him and try to make a more serious playoff push considering they type of outing he consistently provides.
