I definitely see Holliday going to the Mets, I wonder where Bay will end up.

There's no way Holliday doesn't not re-sign with St. Louis.

According to ESPN's Jayson Stark, a four-team trade involving Milton Bradley, Pat Burrell, Luis Castillo, and Gary Matthews Jr. fell apart at the winter meetings for an undisclosed reason.

According to a source, the deal would have sent Bradley to the Rays, Burrell and Castillo to the Cubs, and Matthews Jr. to the Mets. Burrell would have then been spun off elsewhere. No word on what the Halos would have received, though getting rid of Sarge Jr. and presumably at least part of his contract would have been a win.

Was the nickname "A-Gone" really used a few posts up?


I HATE those first initial, shortened last name monikers.

ESPN is worse than the Jordan Brand Forum when it comes to nicknames. Unfortunately so many sheep watch ESPN that it catches on

Marquis is a solid signing

Looks like the Yanks are about to get a starting pitcher..

9:11pm: Now Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News tweets that the Yankees are "close to a deal for a starting pitcher, says a source. Still working on who, but I'm told it's not a salary dump deal".

Wonder who it could be?

 

[stringer bell 32]

I read on twitter that it could be Aaron Harang

I was hoping that was the case but that rumor was shut down.

8:55pm: Now Ken Davidoff of Newsday tweets "Hear that #Yankees have "two or three" serious trade talks for starting pitcher - A. Harang isn't one of them." FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal adds via Twitter "Source: Yankees in "active negotiations" for a starting pitcher. Not Harang. Trying to find out who."

double

Carlos Zambrano?

Nah, even after coming off the injury the Cubs are asking for way too much. It's more than likely Sheets.

[h1]Blue Jays To Acquire Brandon Morrowhttp://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/12/blue-jays-to-acquire-brandon-morrow.html[/h1]
By Tim Dierkes [December 21 at 10:41pm CST]

The Blue Jays and Mariners reached a tentative agreement on a swap that would send Brandon Morrow to the Blue Jays for Brandon League and a prospect, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Presumably it'd take a solid prospect to balance out the deal

Wow.

 

[jumpmanjordanaddict89]

with a team with no offense (giants) and they lose molina and winn. there not even doing anything.

another year with great pitching and no OFFENSE

 

[briannnnn]

armchair GMs on Yankee blogs are throwing these names around:

Bronson Arroyo (Mike Francesa will wet his pants if this happens...dude's mancrush on him is disturbing...he gets pissed off about Joba's ERA butoverlooks Bronson Arroyo's 5+ ERA

)
Derek Lowe
Cliff Lee ( only because he was "shocked" to be traded to Seattle

)



BTW, Brandon Morrow has been traded to the Blue Jays in exchange for Brandon League and a prospect, according to Ken Rosenthal.

Wasn't Morrow supposed to be a stud? I still remember his near no-hitter against the Yankees in 2008.

 

[briannnnn]

And a facetious reason why Arroyo could be a Yankee candidate: the #61 is vacant

I hope it's Arroyo or Harang, the Reds really need to free up some money.

Jon Heyman says Zambrano isn't willing to waive his no trade clause

Derek Lowe does make sense though

 

[onewearz]
