The Lakers won the rights to Carlos Boozer with a high bid of $3.25 million, according to Marc Stein of ESPN. The Lakers will acquire Boozer's expiring contract, while Chicago will have to pay the remaining $13.6 million for 2014-2015. Boozer was amnestied by the Bulls on Tuesday, and now has a new home in Los Angeles. It appears to be a win-win for both teams as the Bulls cleared enough cap space to sign Pau Gasol, while the Lakers get a veteran big man and an expiring contract. Source: Marc Stein on Twitter

A person with knowledge of the situation told Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle that Brady Aiken has a "cut-and-dry" issue with his left ulnar collateral ligament. It sounds like Aiken might have an abnormally small UCL, and even though it's not damaged, the Astros are contending that it makes him more at risk going forward. "He may have some (of the UCL), but not much," Drellich's source said. Aiken's advisor, Casey Close, is claiming that Aiken is perfectly healthy and worth every penny of the previously agreed to $6.5 million bonus. The Astros are willing to offer the lefty $3.16884 million. The two sides have until Friday afternoon to work things out. Source: Houston Chronicle

Sting in a interview to promote WWE 2K15 On wanting to wrestle the Undertaker: "I've made it clear I'd love to have one last hurrah, one last big match hopefully. And of course I've been outspoken about Undertaker being the opponent. I know what happened at Wrestlemania where Brock Lesnar broke his streak. I think, or at least I'm hoping, that Taker's still going to come back and that he's not done. If he's not done, and he would consider doing it, I'd love to work with him one time. I'd love to wrestle him one time before I call it quits. Undertaker maintained a status in wrestling and the WWE that is second to none. He's a phenomenon...How about San Francisco, 2015, in April

Sting tweeted "7.14.14" last week and a photo of his crow face paint. This has led to many people believing he will show up in some capacity on tonight's episode of RAW. If you think he's going to be there in person, prepare to be disappointed. WWE recently filmed a Sting promo and the promo will air tonight on RAW. It was likely taped to promote his appearance in WWE 2K15 and his upcoming WWE-produced DVD, "Sting - The Ultimate Collection", which will be out in September. As of this morning, Sting has not signed with WWE to appear on the program on anything but a video. Credit: The Wrestling Observer via Rajah

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 03:31 PM) With Tanaka hurt, Abreu is a lock for RoY. Race is ova.

Time has come for Forman/Paxson to feel a little heat they seem way too comfortable being used by free agents to get a bigger deals.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 05:37 PM) Gotta be Carlos Sanchez. I agree

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 05:25 PM) think he can get 30 before AS break? edit: I realize the question is asking people if they think he can hit a home run tomorrow, but I love this man and would love to see a big round number next to his name when announced. He can do 30, 31, 32 Sunday.

34 year old Gasol............plan the parade route.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 08:56 PM) On the greed thing, we know what we're getting with a Boras client. Best case scenario, he makes 32+ starts for 5 seasons, win a championship, and trade him for 3 good prospects in 2020 or 2021. That is a fair assessment to me.

More errors Luery.

Nice to see a team bunt and not F it up.

QUOTE (MAX @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 08:37 PM) I'm willing to bet that a lot of the same people who complained that we never go over slot are complaining that we did with Rodon. I am glad Sox paid the price and signed him.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 08:28 PM) My sources say all parties involved are aware of my birthday tomorrow and will wait until then to announce the deal. I will take a nap then.

I guess unless you walk 2 guys a inning you do not pitch for the Sox in 2014 it seems like. If your name is not Sale or Q.
