Holy shit. Hearing on numerous sites now that the Tigers might deal Polanco to the Mets for Delgado.

What an assrape that would be.

Rockies are looking around for a catcher.

Names being thrown around are Jose Molina, Paul Lo Duca, Jason Kendall, and Ramon Castro. But they are mainly zeroing in on Kendall and Mike Barrett.

I like it just for homeruns... i suppose you can then make the argument for fair/foul but I don't want to see the electronic strike zones and replays for everything... sometimes you get screwed but umps can better manager a game when they're not being double checked all the time.


word is the Sox offered Lowell 3-yrs gauranteed which is what he wanted... time will tell, also talk they're looking for a backup SS.

They met with Borus to hear about "A-rod" but they may have also discussed Gange and possible V-Teck since I think next year or the year after is his last year.

Night time news.

Torii Hunter update. Preferred places to go were the Chicago White Sox, Nationals, and the Braves. The Dodgers, Royals, White Sox, Rangers, and Reds have expressed interest. The Astros and Nationals are out of the running.

Marlins are willing to trade Dontrelle Willis. Astros are interested. Back at the trade deadline, the Mets, Yankees, Indians, Rockies, Mariners, Dodgers, Red Sox and Diamondbacks had interest.

Aaron Rowand is being looked at by the Nationals. He's looking for something in the form of 6-years $84 mil.

Seeing as Luis Castillo is a free agent I'd say they need one. Polanco > Castillo. Castillo's been targeted by the Astros anyway

Plus I'd rather see Gotay off the bench

I hope the Jays make an impact this off season. They did 2 years ago and then nothing really last year (no disrespect to The Big Hurt). If they don't make improvements this off season, I'll be disheartened.

If they could land Tejada for third, and Platoon Doug Meicantfuckingspellhisnameitz with Damon, this could look real good.

I'm not really sure if I want Tejada. Terrible defense and his power numbers have been dwindling every year. I guess getting off the roids will do that. If the Yankees can get him for next to nothing then fine but not if they have to give up big pieces.

Also, Cashman has said that Damon will be the left fielder next year. And I don't want Doug back really. We tried that whole 5 first basemen thing last year and it really didn't work. Assuming the Yankees get a third baseman there will be Phillips, Betemit and Giambi sharing time over there.

I'd do it. Why by 2009 we'd have Tabata and A-Jac coming up. A-Jac can play Center and Tabata plays right. Do you really want to put Melky in Left Field? I really see no use for Melky as more then a back up center fielder or left fielder. And I don't think Minnesota will take Jackson. If you ask me that's actually pretty cheap compared to what we could be paying. I think Santana is well worth those three. There is always some centerfielder who we could sign for a year or two until Jackson comes up.

Baltimore may want Farnsy. With Chris Ray on the DL I heard they might be interested. I hate Kyle Farnsworth anyway. So if we could manage a deal with Farnsworth and some other minor guys for Tejada I'd do it.

By the way there might be 3 first basemen but I don't think Phillips is gonna be there. From what I read they are aiming more towards Duncan/Betemit/Giambi all sharing time at first base.

Oh yeah, completely forgot about Duncan at first too.

Minnesota wouldn't want Wang anyway I'm assuming. He isn't that far away from making big money as well. And Wang has won 19 games each of the past two seasons. I realize wins aren't a great way to judge a pitcher but do you really think Johan will win more than that? Maybe, but thats huge expectations. The whole point for the Yankees is to get the ace to make Wang a stronger option lower in the rotation. Not trading off two pieces of your rotation for one.

And I don't think Tejada would come as cheap as you think.

The Crede/Damon deal is pretty much dead. Rumblings now going around is that Cashman would like to trade Matsui.

According to THE authority on baseball, the great Peter Gammons, there a rumor going around for a Coco Crisp for Hank Blalock deal in the works. Nobody has pushed a button yet.

As for Miguel Cabrera. This is from mlb4u.com

MLB.com's Joe Frisaro says the Miguel Cabrera trade talks are heating up. As you know, Cabrera is under team control for the 2008 and 2009 seasons. He might become more enticing if the acquiring team can talk to his agent prior to completion of a trade, with a long-term contract in mind. As far as I can tell Cabrera is represented by Arn Tellem and Fernando Cuza currently.

Frisaro says the Angels and Dodgers are in the lead for Cabrera. The Yankees, White Sox, Indians, and Tigers are also in the mix. However this Paul Hoynes article seems to indicate the Indians are fading on Cabrera. And I think it's questionable whether the White Sox have the goods. Frisaro doesn't include the Red Sox, which jives with Michael Silverman's info today.

I never thought the yanks would dump matsui. I wouldnt mind, he has high value and it will never be higher. Damon as the everyday left fielder is good, he is a much better fielder.

The question is, where does Matsui go? Maybe Seattle to get all the marquee japanese players together?!

Cabrera is 2 seasons from being a DH, he needs to land on an AL team if he doesnt lose weight.

The Dodgers need to pass, let the young guys get better and save their trade for another player.

If they land him, expect Laroche to get traded at the dealine for a veteran pitcher in the playoff race.

All though it's still a rumor Matsui might be going to the Dodgers. This is still just a rumor but we could get Matt Kemp and maybe even Broxton for Matsui and Andy Phillips. I'd do this deal in a fuckin microsecond but I know it's probably just a pipe dream.

Besides the usual big name news. Here's a few small fish jumping out of the water.

Rangers are interested in the Royals' Joey Gathright. They might send Joaquin Arias in exchange.

Brew crew might trade Tony Gwynn Jr. Padres and Rangers have expressed interest.

Kemp and Broxton for the fuckin win.

I would actually like Loney/Broxton, and then we dont have to worry about 1st base anymore and Damon in left, and Giambi/btemit at DH

With Broxton n the pen, Farnsworth is free to go to orioles. Farnsworth and a prospect for Tejada, and then we have all our holes filled. Well, assuming we resign MO and Jorge.

One more side though.

I really think Loney will be an all star 1st baseman in the coming years, and now if he has Donnie Baseball as a Bench coach and mentor, who knows where he could go.

Loney/Broxton for Matsui, the yanks NEED to do it.

Unless Fanrsworth can put a wrinkle in his fastball, I don't see any value in him. He may throw hard, but it's straight and therefore very hitable. I'd say you guys are smoking crack if you think the O's would move Tejeda for Farnsworth. I now it would be a salary dump for the O's, but I'd expect they'd want some value or prospect for him.

The Dodgers aren't that retarded, we're not gonna give up Kemp/Broxton for Matsui. Kemp is a great hitter, and Broxton has an overpowering fastball. There is no way in hell we will do that. We're not giving up Loney either. He is definitely gonna be an All-Star next year.

Well stranger things have happened. BTW from the article it's Matsui/Andy Phillips for Kemp/Broxton. I would love for it to happen but like I said "I think it might be just a pipe dream"

And I don't think the Yankees have anymore interest in Tejada anymore. Think about it Miguel Tejada may not make the transition to 3rd base as easy as some may think. And I think it's a step in the wrong direction. They are really trying to focus on having more young talent now. So I think maybe they're not as interested as I thought.

Hearing a lot of people, including Buster Olney, mention that there are serious talks going about of a straight up Jose Reyes for Johan Santana swap.

I seriously doubt it...and as much as I'd love Johan, I don't want to trade Reyes. The only way I see the Mets doing it is if they can absolutely assure that they are gonna get A-Rod.

If there's any Reds fans here, they're might have a rough offseason to aquire players.

A beat writer says that the Reds payroll is $75 mil. And they players they got locked in now take up $69 mil. Leaving only 6 mil. to use offseason.

The reds are probably my favorite NL team, this is a shame. First off, they need to trade griffey to the AL and let him DH.

Second, they need to dumb whatever is sucking up the rest of the payroll, shit, I mean all they have is Dunn after KGJ, where is that money going?

Reports that it would take a package around Cano to get Santana for the Yanks.

Honestly don't see that happening. Losing two of our best hitters in A-Rod and Cano would be hard to deal with next season. Especially considering that they would probably want a decent amount more. The reports were saying that the Twins are looking for young position players more than pitching, so that kind of hurts the Yankees chances unless they're willing to deal Cano. Which I don't think Cashman would do.
