As i figured, the Giants had zero interest in bringing him back. Giants FO didnt seem like theyd be getting over that anytime soon. His agent probably got a quick "GTFO" message in response to "any interest in Melky going forward?"

Yep. There was no chance Melky was coming back. What surprises me is that he got 2 years and 16M. I guess it does pay to cheat sometimes.

Well when you factor in Toronto going balls out........I don't think many other teams if any would have given that much.

Sasha?

Melky Cabrera is going to Toronto for two years and $16 million, according to ESPN Deportes.

That is a ridiculous amount of money. No way I would have paid him that much after what happened this year.

Given what has happened with the signings this year, I would not be surprised if the Giants offered Pagan something like 3/$36 with an option year. I would go for that...don't know if Pagan will.

Melky fled the country, finding a way to still stay in the MLB. Nice

Lol, Holliday is whining now about Cain hitting him with a pitch in Game 7 of the NLCS. Really?

Torii Hunter is a proven player year in and year out. Melky was a fringe player at best until 2010. I'm guessing that the roids didnt start last year. It is a stupid amount of money for a guy who there are a lot of question marks about. Will he revert back to a so so player without PEDs???

Agree with John on this. Melky had a great 1/2 season for the Giants. Would not be surprised if he doesn't PED again and get the 100 game suspension. I would have signed him back for $4 per max, or something like $7.5 for two. No way would I invest $16.

Like I said in my earlier post, I think Pagan will probably get $12 per. I would be willing to invest the $36 with an option year because I think he really fits out park. If he demanded 4/$48 without the option I would be hard pressed to say no based on the current market.

Bags reporting that the Giants are making Pagan a priority. Sounds like a lot of communication is going on...

Blue Jays @ Giants June 4th/5th.

Was watching intentional talk today.

Word is that Ian Kinsler is willing to move positions because the rangers top prospect is a damn good 2nd baseman, maybe the best prospect in baseball.

You think they would be open to a deal?

I would trade Gary Brown and maybe some other prospects for this dude. and they pick up some of kinsler's 75 million contract
