December 13, 200421 yr I thought people would be interested. Eh...It seems for the exception of a few people, this thread goes ignored with the amount of double stories etc. in here. So whatever floats your boat.
December 13, 200421 yr My baseball source in Minny just told me the Red Sox actually shopped Ramierz to the Twinks. Good try Theo. You're busted.
December 13, 200421 yr Oh my God, Bruce Levine is sucking off Jim Hendry saying "I would never bet against him" but then went on to chronicle how he lost out to Atlanta on the Kolb trade. Just silly... Also said that he expects Sosa to be traded because again, "I would never bet against Hendry" he literally said it 2-3 times Also Washington won't take Sosa unless Cubs pay his whole contract, and cubs only have about 5 million left under their budget and reiterated it would take a Sosa move for them to pursue Beltran
December 13, 200421 yr Oh my God, Bruce Levine is sucking off Jim Hendrie saying "I would never bet against him" but then went on to chronicle how he lost out to Atlanta on the Kolb trade. Just silly... Levine's kissing up to Hendry was pretty nauseating. :puke
December 13, 200421 yr More I heard it sounds like the Cubs are pretty much stuck for the time being.
December 13, 200421 yr Also Washington won't take Sosa unless Cubs pay his whole contract, and cubs only have about 5 million left under their budget and reiterated it would take a Sosa move for them to pursue Beltran WTF? What the hell good would that do? I mean I hate Sosa as much as anybody but s*** I'd take him if he was FREE. Jim Bowden = things that make you go hmmm... Oh yeah...... :fthecubs
December 13, 200421 yr Score is saying the Cubs may have found a team (didn't name) who would trade even money for Sosa, basically a group of players that equal sammy's money. But then the update guy said "so the Cubs wouldn't have to pick up salary," but the Cubs still wouldn't be freeing any payroll, just shifting it...
December 13, 200421 yr Just found this post on another board. The guy who posted it is normally a reliable poster and is actually from Dodger country. Some MLB.com guy on KNBR, says that Hudson going to LA is probably not happening because several teams have now offered better prospects.
December 14, 200421 yr Steve Phillips was just on espnnews and he thinks the Sox have a couple of deals pending. He didn't mention any names but said they are looking to add power.
December 14, 200421 yr Steve Phillips was just on espnnews and he thinks the Sox have a couple of deals pending. He didn't mention any names but said they are looking to add power. Power? We just gave it all away. Maybe he meant power pitching. :rolly
December 14, 200421 yr Steve Phillips was just on espnnews and he thinks the Sox have a couple of deals pending. He didn't mention any names but said they are looking to add power. More is going to happen within the next couple of days, I'm almost positive...........
December 14, 200421 yr JD, did u find nething out from the who kno in the Brewers organization. Did they say if they think the fleeced us?
December 14, 200421 yr JD, did u find nething out from the who kno in the Brewers organization. Did they say if they think the fleeced us? My brother says KW wanted to make the deal bigger, and that he was the one pushing this trade. The Brewers felt they had nothing to lose so they went for it. I guess they felt Podsednik was useless to them if they had no strength in the middle of their lineup. I am still waiting to hear on the player to be named later.
December 14, 200421 yr Beltre News; "And with virtually no alternatives at third base left on the market, the pressure to re-sign free-agent Adrian Beltre suddenly has become enormous. Seattle might be the only other team making a serious bid for Beltre, but the Mariners are rumored to have offered him a five-year, $62 million deal." Santiago a Pirate; Pittsburgh Tribune Review: "The trade for Kansas City Royals Benito Santiago should be completed in the next few days." Brewers ain't gettin Byrd; which appeared to clear the way for the Phillies to send centerfielder Marlon Byrd to the Brewers for relief pitcher Jeff Bennett. But Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said he doesn't anticipate any more moves after trading closer Dan Kolb and Vizcaino this weekend." Valentin to the Rangers; "Free agent infielder Jose Valentin said the Rangers have made him the best offer of any of his suitors, but the team indicated it is not close to signing him... 5 to 6 new teams after Sosa; "The Cubs say five to six new teams -- including the Atlanta Braves, Washington Nationals, Kansas City Royals and perhaps the Baltimore Orioles -- initiated Sosa talks with them at the meetings, joining the Mets as clubs considering the slugger...
December 14, 200421 yr Agent Ron Shapiro has called the Twins to let him know Joe Randa would be very interested in playing for them. Michael Cuddyer is going to be a regular somewhere, and the Twins might just go with him at third and Luis Rivas at second. Still, they haven't ruled out bringing in a third baseman to replace Koskie. Such a move could result in Rivas being non-tendered. Dec. 14 - 2:29 pm et
December 14, 200421 yr courtesy rotoworld White Sox GM Ken Williams indicated he still sees Dustin Hermanson as a setup man despite Luis Vizcaino's addition. The White Sox want to spend the savings from the Carlos Lee deal on a starting pitcher and keep Hermanson in the pen. If Matt Clement is out of their price range, then there's a chance Hermanson could end up in the rotation. Dec. 14 - 3:37 pm et Source: Chicago Sun-Times
December 14, 200421 yr courtesy rotoworld ummmm....if clement is outta their range, they should go for another SP not just quit and put in Hermanson...
December 14, 200421 yr The Dodgers are confident that free agent Wilson Alvarez will return in 2005. Alvarez, who made $1.5 million last season, wants to stay in L.A. and could accept arbitration if no deal is worked out. Oh well.
December 14, 200421 yr Trust me, only way Hermy is in the rotation is if one of the starters gets injured or sucks horribly.
December 14, 200421 yr Rob Dibble just said that he thinks Contreras can and will win 20 games for the Sox. He also said he thinks all Contreras needs is a good pitching coach to help him. Take it for what its worth but it would be awesome if he does win 20!!!
December 14, 200421 yr He also said he thinks all Contreras needs is a good pitching coach to help him. I'm not so sure he's getting that here.
