The official MLB offseason thread!

I can picture Georgie in his office talking with his staff...

George: "Who should we go after?"
Guy: "Carl Pavano is a good, young pitcher. He is exactly what our pitching staff needs."
Guy 2: "Pedro Martinez. You should know that he is one of the best and dominant pitchers in the game. And it would really stick it to the Red Sox if we were to get him from them."
Guy 3: "Randy Johnson is still amazing after all of these years. However, we'd have to give up a lot of our farm system for him."
George: Carl Pavano? Never heard of him. Pedro Martinez? I don't like his hair. Randy Johnson? What the hell is a farm system?! Is there any other guys we can sign? What about the pitcher for the Braves?"
Guy 1: Russ Ortiz?
George: No. The guy everyone was raving about in the Indians organization....
Guy 2: Jaret Wright? The guy has only had like two good seasons, the rest of his career have been plagued by injuries and just plain suckitude.
George: But that just means he has plenty of good seasons left, I mean he was just getting the kinks out of his game before coming here. Let's give him a fat contract.
Guy 1: What? We still gotta resign Jon Lieber...
George: Lieber is a loser, we didn't even make it to the World Series last season! He's not worth my time! You're fired! He's fired! SIGN WRIGHT!
*Guy 1 leaves*
Guy 2: Are we still going after Pavano and/or Pedro?
George: I heard that Tony Womack guy is good, we need a second baseman. Sign him too...
