Well they could still go after LaRoche I think. How good are Mahoney and Snyder? Maybe they have a lot of faith in one of them.

Wow, didn't know the Red Sox got Joe Blanton. That might turn out to be a good deal for Boston.

Ok, the deal fell through. They had conversations, but it never materialized.

The information came as a result of Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal.

I wonder if Joe Blanton will be traded before the season starts. If the Phillies want to get rid of Blanton how much prospect wise ya think it will cost the Yankees? Or do you think they should steer clear of him?

Yankees should try to get him, I mean...if they take get Blanton, and somehow convince Pettitte to come back, their rotation won't be bad at all.

Sabathia, Burnett, Pettitte, Blanton, Hughes.

Not bad.

Also, puzzling as to why they'd sign Mark Prior and Russell Martin. I don't get those two deals. Prior's arm couldn't handle the NL, I don't think he'll do well in the AL, unless he becomes a reliever.

Can't hurt really since he has a minor league deal. I would have said Prior could be an 8th inning guy but Kerry Wood has been doing Ok at that. I don't pay much attention though for all I know Wood is a free agent.

And don't worry if things go right Romine, or Montero will have more time as catcher then Martin.

Yes, the White Sox tried to sign him on a 2 year deal. But I think that died after they got Jesse Crain. They needed a 7th, and 8th, inning guy who could sometimes pitch the 9th. And Crain seems to be that guy.

You do? I hope he stays with the Yankees as our 8th inning guy. But we do have quite a few ready minor leaguers or Prior who could do an ok job as 7th, and 8th guy I guess.

MLB Network spent a few good minutes discussing how the Yankees could make a move for Carlos Zambrano either this offseason or next year.

The biggest issue is Yankees don't want to eat up most of the $55 million left since the Cubs won't be willing to pay and his price range as a #3 starter since they don't see him fitting as a #1 or #2.

Only reason it came up was due to Yankees making deals for Pryor and Zambrano hinted if he had to leave, Yankees would be a good option.

I wonder how fans from both sides of this would feel about AJ Burnett straight up for Zambrano.

I want Zambrano gone. And even better, out of the NL

Red Sox sign Bobby Jenks to 2 year $12 million deal with incentives to become a full-time closer should Papelbon end up being traded or looses his spot as the closer during Spring Training.

Its expected for now he will be the setup man or at least split time with Bard for the spot.

I like this since last year it seemed like Bard and/or Papelbon had to pitch almost every game cause Okajima and Ramirez made 5 run leads turn into 1-2 run leads. Hopefully Papelbon doesn't pull a hissy fit this time like he did when the Red Sox acquired Eric Gagne and again when they acquired Billy Wagner.

You know before everyone thought when the Red Sox offered Mariano a contract that it was a ploy for the Yankees to pay more for him. Now, I see they did w ant him so Papelbon could be gone. I say by the trading deadline Papelbon is traded any takers?

Let's say Hypothetically Papelbon is traded at the dead line. You think Jenks will be the closer? I think Bard may not be ready for the closer role yet.

Now, The Red Sox scare the shit out of me.

Let's say Hypothetically Papelbon is traded at the dead line. You think Jenks will be the closer? I think Bard may not be ready for the closer role yet.

Now, The Red Sox scare the shit out of me.
My guess is that if Jenks is pitching well he'd be the closer, but Bard has been touted as the closer of the future since he came up in 2009 so I don't think Jenks would have the role permanently.

I know ! Trust me I have seen how Bard is. But, in my honest opinion that would be like making Eduardo Nunuz leap into being a short stop for the season. How old is Bard like 21? He's still got some time to being the closer. They should switch them from time to time. And then by the time of Jenks contract ends in 2012 Bard will be an amazing closer.

One question, do you think that some Red Sox fans didn't feel the same way when the Yankees signed Johnny Damon? I know, it's not really the same thing but, I bet you that gave some of them a new reason to hate the Yankees.

Twins agree to terms with japanese player Tsuyoshi Nishioka. 3-years, $10 mil.

Chien-Ming Wang goes back to the Nationals. 1-year, $1 mil. with incentives that could get him up to $5 mil.

A few details of Zach Greinke's contract came out for those interested in trading up for him. He has block power on 15 teams. With the Yankees, Red Sox and Nationals included. Tigers, Angels, and the Rangers are not.

And finally, with all pretty much a signing each day, the Red Sox pass the Yankees for highest payroll in MLB. Remember, they still gotta hammer out a deal with A-Gon in the spring.

Yeah, fuck them for trying to make their team better! I'm sure they knew he wouldn't accept, but no harm in trying since it made the Yanks offer more anyway.

Yeah because the Yankees would never do that or anything. (see: Johnny Damon)

Pedro Feliciano to the Yankees. 2 years, $8 million plus an option.

Farewell Pedro. It's been a great run but $4 million is a lot to pay a LOOGY who has logged 266 appearances over the past 3 seasons. Thanks for declining arbitration so the Mets can get a sandwich 1st round pick.

Could see the Mets grabbing Joe Beimel or something when camp opens up. Basically the same numbers but he can likely be had for around $1 million.

I bet Feliciano will be happy to not have to pitch the middle innings every night.

I do wonder how much Girardi will use Pedro. Dude is money against lefties. Think his workload won't be as heavy though once Marte comes back.

Last I heard about Marte he might be missing the whole season.

Girardi will use him alot. He loves working matchups to the point where it gets a little crazy.

Zack Greinke wants out of Kansas City for sure. He's gotta be going to New York.

But hey...watch out for the Phillies. I bet right now, his salary is low...and if they have prospects to trade, they could probably unload Hamels or Oswalt after this season to give Greinke good money

Dayton Moore will likely ask for a king's ransom. However, if I were GM of a smart team, the smart team not being on Greinke's no-trade list and from a small market, I'd place a call. Rangers could probably work something out...

Phillies gotta be all but maxed out on the black amex by now. They're looking at $157 mil. going into 2011. They'll probably add a cheap bat or bullpen arm. But that's it.

There were initial fears of the Royals mimicking what Toronto did by basically giving away 2 players for nothing but supposedly there is plans to ensure it won't happen.

Initial plan is to only accept teams Greinke approves to do offers and ask for players in spots the Royals need the most. At the same time, he's leaving the door open for other teams and allowing the demands to be flexible to prevent low-balling by big market teams.

Its a smart plan since Royals guaranteed either a few big names or enough middle-tier names to fill out depth and positions they wanted.

Phillies have completely gutted their farm system over the past two years. They have no one to trade.
