I think Pineiro has a real good shot at becoming the Red Sox closer, I had a feeling the Red Sox might do this - try to get somebody people really don't expect, without dropping a ton of cash for him, to see if he could fill the role. Well I was thinking they might do this after not signing Gagne anyway, really thought they were going to make a move at Gagne at the start of the offseason.

Why not just keep Giambi at 1st? Or platoon them between DH and 1B

Anyway, all the Yankees are getting for Johnson is 2 minor leaguers. Nothing else.

Yeah, give it up about Mark McGuire. It's so irrelivant to baseball right now, and I think it is safe to say that Mark McGuire still would have been regarded as a great hitter without the record breaking season.

Obviously they wouldn't be getting Santana this year. He still has like three years left on a modest contract in Minnesota, and with the reigning MVP and batting champ they aren't in a hurry to begin rebuilding.

yeah that's a bit of a stretch I would say, Yankees trying to go after Santana.

Johan's under contract until the end of 2008...so don't look for him to be moved until mid 2008 at the earliest

When you look at what the Diamond Backs have been doing over the last 2-3 years, they sure have been wise. What they got for the Big Unit, what they gave up for the Big Unit and everything sandwiched in between, they are poised to make a sustained run at things in their division.

It is concievable that the Yankees would be doing this, but again, Santana is a huge bargain right now. I assume they try to get him to sign a modest extension, somewhere in the market of like five years close to 15 mil per year, and if he doesn't bite they will have to trade him.

Well. Randy Johnson signs a 2-year deal worth $26 mil. with the D-Backs (physical pending). That pretty much locks up the trade.

How in the hell did Randy Johnson get a 2 year 26 million extension? Do these GM's watch these players play at all??? Thats rediculous. I cant wait for the next baseball strike. Its coming.

I was just going to point out that it seemed a pretty excessive amount of money for him.

Well, he was getting 16 next year no matter what.
10 million isn't a lot considering the market this year. Gil Meche got 11. Johnson is old and pretty much garbage, but he is immensly popular in Arizona and has a decent chance at being good again. I wouldn't give him 10 million but I can see why. |

Gil's has(d) tons of potential, as a rather big Mariner fan, I've seen alot of him over the years. Some nights he's been lights out. Other nights utterly painful to watch. Maybe this move is what he needs to get everything to work.

Meche was solid the first half of the season, but kinda fell off the map in the 2nd half. Hopefully he's worth the money with Kansas City.

He's going to suck pitching in the AL Central. He'll get no run support in Kansas City either.
8-14, 125K, 5.00/1.45 sounds about right. |

Some more updates:
Astros agreed to terms with RHP Dan Wheeler on a one-year, $2.1 million contract. Wheeler, the top alternative for saves in the Houston pen should Brad Lidge falter again, made $930,000 last year in his first year of arbitration. He'll be eligible for free agency after 2008. Ken Griffey Jr.'s broken left hand was X-rays over the weekend and found to be healing as expected. Griffey broke the hand Dec. 21 in an accident at home. He'll have additional X-rays in about 10 days. If he continues to make steady progress, he should be ready to go once the spring training schedule starts. Mets agreed to terms with RHP Duaner Sanchez on a one-year, $850,000 contract. He can earn $100,000 in performance bonuses: $25,000 each for 50, 55, 60 and 65 games. Sanchez, who missed the final two months of last season with a separated right shoulder sustained in a car accident, was eligible for arbitration for the first time. He's expected to be healthy to resume his setup role on Opening Day. Even though they're dangling Alex Rios, the Blue Jays have been unable to trade for a quality starter. "To trade just for the sake of making a trade doesn't make any sense," GM J.P. Ricciardi said of his attempts to upgrade the pitching. "If you're not getting something back of substance then what's the point?" The Jays might end up signing someone like Tomo Ohka or Tony Armas Jr. and then head to camp with a competition for the fifth spot in the rotation. |

If the Jays can't move Rios for the right price (right pitcher) there's no need moving him. Let him blossom. There are other pitchers and other years and other ways to get what's needed. Besides, who knows, perhaps Towers rebounds or Jansen steps up and produces. I think JP is right in holding on to an asset like Rios. Adam Lind is most likely capable of replacing Rios in the outfield, but Rios is just as 'most likely' to wow everyone again next season.
