While I'd love Phillips, I can't see the Reds unloading him just yet. He's only making slightly more than Luis Castillo (who I'm assuming the Reds would be bringing in for some reason).

Think they'd have to be overwhelmed.

Interesting to say the least. I feel Bronson is just as good if not better than the people left on the market. Fly ball pitcher hurts him in Cincy, but at Citi it wouldn't hurt him as much. Also its a plus he manages to wins 14+ games a year. He did so 4 of the last 5 years. So I think he would be a good fit.

Dodgers sign "Death Grip" Doug Mientkiewicz and Angel Berroa to minor league deals.

Mets sign Ryota Igarashi.

Yankees may offer Nick Johnson a deal tomorrow. He's looking like the DH right now.

Nick Johnson deal near completion, pending a physical (which is probably not as sure a thing as it usually is).

Still would have rather had Damon since he can play a position but Nick batting second and getting on at a .400 clip in front of Tex and A-Rod sounds good too. Hopefully being a full-time DH can keep him from falling apart for one year.

Well if we're bringing in Johnson for DH duties, then we sorta got some leverage back on Damon. LF is still open, but of course he's gotta return at our price. Boras can shove it.

Would like to see Cashman make a move on Sheets right about now.

I don't think Cashman wants Damon playing LF every day though. All reports were that if Damon came back it'd be as a DH. I think this move pretty much assures he won't be back.

But yeah, Boras' ridiculous demands for his clients seems to be hurting them this year. I have only heard a couple teams interested in Damon this whole offseason and they were still asking for ridiculous demands.

And now there is conveniently a mysterious "East coast bidder" in the Holliday game and St. Louis apparently isn't raising their offer from 15M a year.

Surprised how Boras didn't lose clients after how last year only a few players got the mega deals while everyone else who had rejected arbitration/initial offers had to deal with much less than what Boras promised. Ended up being even worse when teams proclaimed to spend less due to the economy but the top tier players still got mega deals.

Of course he's upset. He's leaving a World Series team and was coming close to signing an extension with them.

He was still always the Phillies second choice.

As a Seattle fan, I'm glad to have him. Hopefully he likes it there. A left handed elite pitcher that gets to pitch in a spacious park like Safeco with the games best defense behind him. He'll more than likely have a similar year to his 08 year and sign for big money with the Yankees or Sox next offseason.

Yeah Dave, I'll maybe post a bit more here and there especially since my team doesn't depress me anymore.

Keep in mind that Silva was making 3 million more than Bradley, so the Cubs are basically getting 6 million profit out of this plus the difference in contracts, which I'm assuming is split between the next 2 years.

Now I'm sure the Cubs love the fact that Bradley is no longer with them and is clearly a gigantic asshole... but he could still hit a bit.

Silva... is probably the all around worst pitcher in baseball. The 4 year, 48 million deal that the M's ex-GM signed him to is one of the biggest jokes ever. He's really, really bad.

The Mariners had the worst pitcher in baseball in Silva and the worst positional player in Yuniesky Betancourt on their team at the same time last year and they still managed to win 85 games. That's pretty damn insane.

Thank god both abominations are gone.

Anything short of Bradley bludgeoning the Mariner moose with a bat and this is a good move by Seattle. Besides, Griffey will hopefully manage to straighten him out.

Now if the M's can land a left handed hitting first basemen with a good OPS then they have a shot in the AL west.

Bradley was a beast in the AL West. I think he will rebound. and be a nice pickup for the MAriners.

ALso, RPM, Betancourt is the worst position player? You actually think that?

Apparently Damon came back to the Yankees at the last second before the Johnson thing and said he'd take 2 years/20 million deal.

I think its probably a long shot that Damon comes back but I'm sure they could live with his defense in LF one more year if it means a lineup of Jeter-Damon-Tex-ARod-Posada-Granderson-Johnson-Swisher-Cano.

ALso, RPM, Betancourt is the worst position player? You actually think that?
If you have another candidate we can break down the numbers.

The only thing he has ever had going for him was a very hollow batting average in the .270-.290 range. His on base percentage is pretty much just slightly higher than whatever his batting average is at the time, because the man just doesn't walk. I remember seeing him walk twice in a game and was completely convinced that it was just an error on Gameday.

He has no power. He has a laughable slugging percentage.

One time last year, Betancourt went 0 for 4 on 5 pitches. 4 outs. 5 pitches. 5.

He was soon after forced to take the first pitch, which lead to him weakly flying out on the second pitch of the at bats instead of the first.

He has no range at short. He constantly messes up routine plays. He doesn't put forth any effort on plays and likes to smirk over it for some reason.

He's god awful. Anyone who could be considered worse is not getting a job in the MLB. The only reason I can think of that he's still around is because he's a shortstop.

Does anyone find it pretty funny that Curtis Granderson could very conceivably bat 9th in the Yankees batting order and lead the team in home runs?

Arroyo is the one big contract the Reds don't want to move, so the Mets are going to have to put something on the table. But yeah a contact pitcher like Arroyo is perfect for Citi.

He was still always the Phillies second choice.

As a Seattle fan, I'm glad to have him. Hopefully he likes it there. A left handed elite pitcher that gets to pitch in a spacious park like Safeco with the games best defense behind him. He'll more than likely have a similar year to his 08 year and sign for big money with the Yankees or Sox next offseason.
Lee was nowhere near signing an extension with the Phillies. His agent proposed CC money to them which scared them off. The Phillies thought that the prospects they got from the M's now was better than the 2 first round picks they would get after next year.

According to his agent, the talks between Lee and the team were only preliminary. Then the trades happened and pretty much threw his camp for a loop.

Yeah, I have no idea what's going on there. I went to the Reds board and they seem to think that the Mets have absolutely nobody of value to give up in a trade. So the fans there feel that if the Reds make a trade with them they are basically saying they aren't even trying next year.

Not sure who else the Mets are even asking about. I mean, obviously Arroyo's being discussed.....I'm sure Brandon Phillips is being talked about but that would mean the Reds have to take Luis Castillo, in which case it would be strictly a salary dump (and a steal for the Mets). Mets are also seeking a second lefty in the bullpen to go along with Feliciano, so I'd have to assume Arthur Rhodes or something since he gets passed around all the time.

I dunno. I don't think a trade there is close.

lol, sucks for the Red Sox. Not only do they have to keep Lowell, which could fuck up their pursuit of Adrian Gonzalez...but he'll probably be pissed off that they tried trading him.

Hurts that they will miss out on a minor league catcher in the deal but main reason Rangers even bothered was the guarantee to pay $9 million of the $12 million salary by the Red Sox. They can still go after Gonzalez since Lowell's hip is still an issue and he sat out for a good chunk of the season.

Well, the problem is they haven't got the spots to put everybody.

Unless the Red Sox have to do what I suggested and put Ellsbury in a package for Gonzalez. Then you move Youk out to LF. I dunno.
