Casey Blake has agreed to terms with Rockies, pending physical, Rox GM Dan O'Dowd announced.

The Braves made a run at Orioles outfielder Adam Jones earlier this month, according to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun. Connolly reports that Atlanta offered Jair Jurrjens, Martin Prado, and a pitching prospect for Jones, but the O's "didn't bite," indicating how much they value their center fielder.

Ronald Belisario is one big bundle of surprises. LA Times reports he's been suspended 25 games for violating MLB drug policy.

Presumably that must be the amphetamine ban, 2nd occurrence?

Beltran talks hot. Sources: Cardinals, Blue Jays, Red Sox, Rays and Indians all seriously in mix. May be another club involved as well.

#Braves & #Orioles did discuss Adam Jones recently, as reports have said, but talks didn't get very far

#Orioles wanted at least 2 arms from Beachy, Minor, Teheran, Vizcaino, Delgado contingent, said BB source. #Braves not interested

Oakland moving closer to a Gio Gonzalez trade, with the bidding down to two teams -- Washington is one, perhaps MIA or BOS the other.

Any day now....please.

Gordon Edes is reporting Red Sox very much involved on Gio Gonzalez, so it may be OAK now choosing between BOS and WASH offers.

I would love to see him go to Boston. His ERAs have been significantly lower than his FIPs the previous two seasons and, though he's been worth quite a bit due to the 200 innings in both seasons, I would love to see him in a monstrosity of a hitters park in a much more difficult division. I've always loved watching him pitch but have never been a big fan of him and I don't think there's any way he'd keep his ERA below 4 pitching for Boston. I think this would be a bad investment by Boston which is the biggest reason I want to see them make this move.

Gio to Nats for Cole, Norris, Peacock, and Milone. Love this for Oakland.

Carlos Beltran 2 yr deal with the Cardinals.

Good signing at $13 million a year.

 

Allen Craig will be out until May with his injury, so Beltran will be a nice bat to have until then.

 

Apparently, they want to play Beltran in center after Craig comes back. I don't know how that's going to work out...

They won a World Series with Berkman playing out of position all year so I guess that makes it alright?

That could be a steal. He has injury trouble, but it's only a 2 year deal so it won't handicap you. And the guy can still hit. Even with losing Sir Albert, the Cards might be the NL Central favorites at this point.

I was thinking more about Beltran's health and how his knees will hold up playing CF.

So taking that into account he's probably a corner outfielder at this point in his career, no? Hence playing him in CF everyday at $13M a year, he'd seemingly be out of position.

@LoMoMarlins: Just heard from my boy that Prince to Seattle is a done deal...

To get Gio Gonzalez, #Tigers would have had to give up Nick Castellanos and Jacob Turner. They just didn’t want to do it. #Athletics #Nats

It was a joke
