Wow actual Baseball News
It is not official yet but the Chicago White Sox have traded pitcher Javier Vasquez to the Atlanta Braves for shortstop Brent Lillibridge and minor league catcher Tyler Flowers who had an outstanding Arizona Fall league batting 387 with 12 hrs in 20 games. The Sox also have chosen two other players who have not been identified yet. The Braves are also going to recieve LH reliever Boone Logan. If i were the Mets i would be wary of Atlanta attempting to get better and of course they have the World Champ Phillies in their division. The Anaheim Angels GM said today that Mark Texiera is still their priority and they will do everything they can to keep him and dont expect anything before the winter meetings which will open up on sunday evening really monday morning. Contrary to reports they will not come near the Yankees offer and aren't even thinking of him right now. It looks like CC isn't getting what he thinks and will have to come to the Yankees sooner then later. I expect the action to heat up next week in the hot Las Vegas Desert at least with the winter meetings it should become hot. I expect a slew of trades this year with the tough market and once CC and Tex sign the rest will follow. Everyone stay calm, be patient we will be getting some juice very shortly

Compared to other years, this offseason has been very slow so far. It's actually kind of boring. Have you heard anything about AJ Burnett? Someone at my job heard that he may be on his way to Atlanta.
ReplyDeleteYes, the Braves have or are about to offer 4 yrs and a 5th yr option i believe triggered by results. I would be happy with that, get him away from us and let us go after Tex
ReplyDeleteI forget where I heard this from. It may have been on ESPN. But, it was suggested that Tex will either sign with the Angels or the Redsox.
ReplyDeleteYes i hear that a lot also but he is a boras client,i am thinking if he was going to sign with the angels he would have already and I just dont see the Red Sox, they have to trade lowell to do it, and who is going to take an aging hurt ballplayer at this point. I also heard yesterday that the Yanks may be interested in Hank Blalock if no Tex.
