Also that the sox are close to a deal w/ Renteria and Gammons thinks when all is said and done Teck will come back also.

I'm still waiting on that Alex Rios for Nick Johnson swap, so I can kick Ricciardi in the nuts.

Also, there's no way Renteria is worth 10mil. Ew.

And I think it was a good move by the Brewers to sell Kolb while his value was high. Got a damn good prospect IIRC.

And as for the D'backs talk from earlier, I am so fucking sure that I remember Randy not wanting to be dealt that it's not even funny. But I'm also sure he will be dealt. That's where the money is coming from.

There, that about covers everything I think.

I don't know about Kolb, he's like 30 and only had one good season. His stats are so weird, he struck out like a record low for closers or something. That'd be cool if he was good for the Braves tho I guess

Pavano will be signing with the Yankee's now according to ESPN.com

Is he going to be a Mike Mussina or a Javier Vasquez?

BTW, Psychosport, you are right, Randy did not want to be dealt...for a while. Then he admitted that he did and everything opened up. When you are in a position like that, you can't say that until the perfect time. So he was saying he didn't want to be traded for a while, but then he said he did.

Heard it on the radio (WFAN). They have people that are in the hotel where all of the owners/GMs/Managers are at, and they WERE saying that a deal was finalized, but now the Red Sox' official site is reporting that it's NOT 100% complete, but they are very close (the Sox have offered a 4 year deal worth $40 million).

But what WAS confirmed was that Cabrera is now a free agent. Hmm, it'd be weird if the Cards retaliated by picking him up, but it won't happen as the Cards likely don't have the cash.

Just heard about the Matt Lawton/Arthur Rhodes trade (even though it actually was announced about 6 hours ago).

Good job @ the Indians sacrificing Lawton for salary flexibility, but they'd better hope that Arthur Rhodes can return to his 2001/2002-esque performances now that he's going back to being a set-up man.

ok, someone with more NL knowledge, give me some Renteria info.

I'm most concerned w/ his glove. How is it/him?

Cause Caberaera was good, and the reason talked around here was he wanted 5yrs and too much money.

But someone also said Renteria plays OF?????

If that's the case it may make more sense for the sox.

Why are they signing him to a 4 year deal? I thought the Sox had a nasty guy coming up threw the farm system right now and they didn't want to sign ANY shortstop for longer then 2-3 years

I'll put 2 guesses.

1) they move Renteria to 2B.

2) It gives them a great trade prospect if needed in the season.

He made 11 errors this past year. His career has been kind of weird. His rookie year he made 11 errors, and then he got worse for 4 or 5 years, and then he starting decreasing every year and this year he was back at 11.

hmm... 11 ain't horrible.

I heard something he's played OF? is that true? If that's the case, that makes sense, cause they sox have a SS in the minors and Damon is a Free Agent in 1-2 years.

Reports are that LA might sign T. Hudson.

I didn't expect the Sox to sign Wells...I never thought I'd see him in a Sox uniform ever to tell you the truth. I didn't really hear much about it then all of a sudden hes now on the team.

Sox didn't sign Renteria, they're close, but STL gave him a 4yr offer, so the Sox are supposed to meet w/ OC's agent today.

The sox are supposed to deal either Meintkiewicz or Millar at some point.

Renteria's never played in the OF. He has one game at 1B, one game at DH, and all other games at SS.

Also, the Dodgers can't sign Hudson as he's not a free agent.

Hopefully Millar. Bats can be replaced, or people can get hot. You pretty much are what you are in the field tho, and Meintkiewicz is probably the best defensive 1st baseman in the game.

OH SHIT NO

Just heard that Royce Ring of the Mets farm system is eligible for the Rule 5 Draft (which I'm not entirely clear on but it sounds like the Mets may lose him), because everyone needs lefty pitching out of the bullpen.

My question is why wouldn't they just re-sign him to a new contract? He's an awesome lefty and has been dubbed as the closer of the future for the Mets.

Someone care to clarify what exactly the Rule 5 Draft is, anyways?

On the radio, not sure what paper, is reporting the Sox offered Manny to the Mets for Floyd, and w/ the money the sox would have signed Reteria & Delgado.

The Mets turned down the offer,

WTF, stop trying to deal Manny!

Clearly it's not a talent for talent move, it was strictly to dump payroll.

Like how they put him on Waivors last year. Then sign Delgado to replace Mannys bat and play first and deal Millar and possible Manca(however you spell it).


As for Pedro.

If you look at the Mets history of big signings/trades, this should be a sign that Pedro is done, back from Bonilla to Mo Vaughn.

Anyway, can't blame Pedro, a gaurenteed 4th year, that's lot of money.

Will be interesting, free up a lot of money for the sox to play w/ but who'se left.

Theres talk of a Hudson deal, but the sox don't want to part w/ the prospects Oakland wants, plus they would prefer to deal him to the NL (I heard a Dodgers rumor).

Right now, it's Schilling, Wells, Wake, Arrojo. Not a horrible 4man, but Arroyo had 1 good year, and Schill and Wells are both up there in age.

The sox have a real good pitching prospect, and there's talk he may get a chance to start this year. Not sure if he's ready or being pushed.

Hurray, Jays got Koskie.

Jays are also supposed to be a top 3 team for Matt Clemente. Could be a decent off season after all

Holy shit I thought Pedro's asking for 38 mil to re-sign with the Sox was a lot.

Anyway I heard that D-Lowe is gonna arbitarily sign with the Sox for 8 mil and is only gonna be a middle RP. Is there any truth to that? Cause if there is that's bullshit, D-Lowe should still be starting
