Mets may bring Jon Rauch back for another year.

I'd be fine with it. Rauch was actually way better than expected last year.

If you are the GM, what do you do?

Mets sign Scott Atchison to a minor league deal with a ST invite. Looking at his stats, I'd say he's got a very god chance at making the team.

MLB and the Dodgers might be clashing soon over the new Dodgers tv network because of how the Dodgers are trying to weasel out of more revenue sharing requirements.

MLB already gave them a special discount as part of the deal for the new owners but the Dodgers found more ways to drop the required payments which is something MLB implied they are not to do.

Yankees are thinking about working on voiding A-Rod's contract. But they already said they're gonna sit tight and wait until MLB does their investigation before they make a move.

I see no way A-Rod is able to go back to the Bronx after this. As detailed as the information we saw today, I doubt these Bosch's are making this up.

It coincides with A-Rod coming back after hip surgery in '09, hitting 30 homers, and for once in his life having a good postseason, helping the Yankees win the World Series.

A-Rod has that self-destruct mechanism built into his brain. Also, he is has a universal hatred gene that sets off everyone including 75% of Yankees fans. I hope NYY lawyers can find a way to get out of this.

Went to the stadium a few years back and two drunken fellas behind us started talking about his purple lips when his pic came up on the big screen. Their answer: Derek Jeter slathers purple icing on his dick after the games and A-Rod has to clean it. Thus, my friends and I decided that the MVP of every game would receive the Purple Icing award and A-Rod would service him. I'm glad you mentioned that and allowed me to tell that stupid, " you had to be there" story.

I hope the Yankees can't get out of his contract. Watching them trying to stay within the luxury tax threshold while carrying A-Rod's contract would be entertaining.

What the hell? I would trade Brett Jackson for a bag of Taco Bell right now if i was the GM. He's worthless. I've seen enough of him and Vitters. I dont need to see much more. Everyone acts like hes being blocked by Dejesus. Dejesus is a pretty damn good CF that doesnt get enough props. He's the type of guy that will be a staple of a championship squad. Like Victorino during Phillies run or Eckstein during Los Angeles run. Brett Jackson had his chance and he stunk badly. And he already had issues with strike outs in the minors.

I was being sarcastic about Jackson. Also love how you hate the kid who got called up and had a shitty half season. Would you have cut Rizzo, too?

Comparing Rizzo as a prospect to Jackson as prospect is ridiculous. It's not even close.

I'm sure Omar at least made a call to Alex or his agent. Omar was signing every latino that hit the free agent market.

If he signed Miguel Cairo and Endy Chavez, I'm sure he tried to get A-Rod.

I understand and maybe i'm overstating my argument a bit here, so i'll pull back a bit, but IMO, Brett Jackson wont amount to much. I rather have Dejesus.

Dejesus is the better player now, sure. Jackson will be in AAA when the season starts, anyway.

I'm just trying to figure out what you want them to do in order for them to contend sooner because you don't seem to think anything they are doing is worthwhile.

Josh Hamilton would have been a really good gamble. Especially at the price he got. Dejesus, Castro, Hamilton, Rizzo would be a sick top of the lineup.

Mets bring in LaTroy Hawkins on a minor league deal. I've always been conditioned to think he's terrible...yet looking at his numbers he's been deceptively good the last few years.

So assuming health and the minor league invitees coming through, their bullpen right now is: Francisco, Parnell, Edgin, Feliciano, Atchison, Hawkins, and a long man. That's actually got potential. Still hoping they manage to grab Brian Wilson or somebody though.

I got to meet LaTroy "Your Boy" Hawkins at the last WBC. He was beyond awesome and I've been rooting for him ever since.

Fans in Chicago hated him. Never figured out why other than he sucked as a closer. No one boo'd Mel Rojas.

Sad to hear about Grace. My favorite Cub as a kid.

I think you vastly undervalue Prado. Braves fans think he is a steal at that price, and we would have signed him to that in a heartbeat if we had had the cash. He doesn't hit for much power, but he's a plus defender at any position not in the battery, he hits for a great average and is a fan favorite and a clubhouse guy. And third is currently a hot commodity in the MLB. A lot of teams have some shitty third basemen these days - the Braves now included.

I think Braves' fans are prone to overvalue him (myself included), but Prado is one of the best 2-hole hitters I've ever had the pleasure of watching. He was such a table-setter for the offense, and I'm not sure who is going to do that for the Braves now.

4/40 is too much for Prado, but you just took on Upton's 3 years and 38 mil deal. Don't have the cash. Mmkay.

Rickie Weeks, Brian Roberts, Chris Young, Michael Young, and Vernon Wells are all making more than Prado next year. I'd take him over all of them.

You're just still butt hurt that your local team traded your favorite player, even though he hasn't yet lived up to his hype/potential.
