According to mlbtradrumors.com:

Ron Shapiro, confirmed to Jon Heyman of SI.com that talks have begun, but cautions that "nothing is imminent."

Who knows. I'm just glad they're actually working on something.

This is what Boras has done for a while now. He keeps getting his star players the big contracts but all his lesser guys he asks for the moon and they get screwed. He did a good job making the Cards bid against themselves for Holliday but when he plays the same kind of game for guys that teams don't absolutely needs he kind of screws them over.

As for Damon, he keeps saying he wanted to be a Yankee but if he really did he would be there now. He was offered that 2 year deal a while back and didn't want it and as late as last week he was offered a one year 6M dollar deal. Which is pretty reasonable considering what the market has been like the past few years for guys who aren't superstars. If Boras was smart he would have seen what happened to Abreu last year and jumped on the 2 year deal earlier in the offseason. Now Damon is pretty much in the same boat as Abreu was and chances are he gets 5M or less next year.

I'm sure teams are aware of how much Yankee Stadium skewed his power stats last year. If he get a 1 year/6M dollar offer like the one the Yankees offered last week I'd be surprised.

Manny Ramirez was the same last off-season. Boras kept refusing the Dodgers intial set of offers while on the mean time he got the big payouts for CC Sabathia and Burnett. Difference was the Yankees could afford to spend big in the weak economy while Dodgers refused and in the end Manny looked stupid and ridiculed for waiting near March/April just to accept same offer Dodgers presented the previous December.

Didn't Thome, who has a ton more threat than Damon just sign a 1 year $1.5 deal? Overall Damon is more stable (imo) than Thome, but Thome has the POTENIAL to win games for a stretch on his own.

I think the Yankees allowing Gardner to lose the job was the wise move. If he falters or needs platooning, Winn fits in nicely. The Yankees, I feel, were willing to bring Damon ack out of loyalty tohim, not out of need. He and Boras didn't recognize this and are now paying for it.

Mets sign Frank Catalanotto to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training.

He's got skills. But got lost in the shuffle after leaving Toronto if I recall.

Frank's a guy I've seen linked to the Mets for years now...good to see him finally on board, I like him. I figure the locks for the bench so far are Tatis, Cora, whoever isn't starting between Pagan/Matthews, and whoever isn't starting between Santos/Blanco. That leaves one slot left so Frank will be competing with Anderson Hernandez, Chris Carter, Nick Evans, and anyone else they've invited to camp. Definitely see him making it.

Heck, at this point I wouldn't be surprised to see Damon here in PGH in '11. We seem to be the graveyard of careers.

Pittsburgh is the jump off for careers. You start there and go make yourself some bank.

By committing a throwing error? Or by not running out routine ground balls?

Mario Lemieux and the Pittsburgh Penguins tried to buy the Pirates. Anyone got a news source on it?

Dodgers re-sign Jeff Weaver to a minor league deal. $800k with $100k in incentives.

Rich Aurilia is lobbying for a job with either the Yankees or Mets minor league teams. I say no thanks.

Pirates won't be for sale unless 1 of 2 things happen:

1) Pirates have a winning season and current ownership "proves they knew what they were doing", or
2) Pirates lose 110 in a single season and current ownership is ran out of town once and for all.

Owners are making $9M per year for putting no effort into getting better - would YOU want to sell if you were them?


Looking forward to going to games this year and starting up "Mario" chants.

haven't the Pirates put more money into the draft than any team over the past couple years?

I thought I heard that on MLB Network or something

I wouldn't mind giving Aurilia a minor league deal, if only because the Mets' top infield prospects are basically all at AA level or lower right now, so extra bodies wouldn't hurt. That being said if he actually wound up on the big league roster either he tore shit up in AAA or something went seriously wrong.

Pirates are in the top 5/10 for investing in the draft but unlike the Rays, they dump their prospects once they get the potential to be a bit pricey and come off as a yearly salary dump team than developing a future. Rays basically drafted well, then developed and kept their core youth which is paying off now the last 2 successful seasons.

Mets still interested in Rod Barajas. He might not hit for average, but he's got decent enough pop and more importantly, really solid defense. I'll gladly take the offensive reduction to get the defensive-minded Barajas/Blanco tandem, especially with such a questionable pitching staff.

Jays sign Kevin Gregg 1 year 2.75 million. I really like the moves Double A has made in the off season for my Jays. A potential bullpen of Gregg, Downs, Carlson, Frasor, Tallet and Accardo should be solid.

Too bad the Jays will still suck cock and there's no reason for them to add a shit veteran closer like Kevin Gregg when they're rebuilding.

I think the Jays may deal Frasor so this makes sense.
