They could always negotiate a deal to terminate the lease.

St. Petersburg is screwing them royally, though. They refuse to approve a new stadium and won't let the team look for any possible sites in Tampa or anywhere outside of St. Pete.

Speaking of the Rays....they signed Kelly Johnson.

Guess they never watched the 2012 Jays play...

Phillies signed Chad Durbin to a one year major league deal with an option for 2014, and also signed Yuniesky Betancourt to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training.

It's only a minor league deal. I don't judge minor league deals. I honestly don't expect Betancourt to make the team out of spring training. He'll probably end up being filler at Triple-A.

Most amount of errors since 2000 was the 01 Padres with 145, I wonder if they'll beat that mark lol.

Don't know if this has been discussed, but here's John Sickel's Farm System Ratings for 2013. The Cardinals, Mariners, Rays, Rangers, Pirates, Padres, Twins, Marlins, Red Sox and the Cubs make up the top 10.
