Latest from Mike Kiley......re Prior

Hm...looks like my theory of this whole thing just being like one bad game of telephone gone out of control might not be that far off the mark. :D

 

Ken Rosenthal, to Hendry: "Jim, I've heard you may have some interest in trading for Miguel Tejada. Is that true? Have there been any talks on the matter?"

 

Hendry: "Obviously, we like him a lot. And, yes, we've had some prior discussions about Tejada."

 

Rosenthal pulls a muscle running back to his computer.

 

Shortly thereafter, NSBB implodes.

 

nice.

Jim Hendry takes a lot of heat on this board and in the media, but he does know when to shut up. He's taken a beating lately for even "offering" Mark Prior. But as a courtesy to the Orioles, who could yet wind up as a trade partner with the Cubs, he lets the speculation run rampant rather than speak out and possibly jeopardize a deal.

 

Interesting take & quite possible. When it comes to trades Hendry's no amateur.

 

 

 

Sure, when it comes to taking salary dumps from other clubs, save the Hundley deal.....although insurance paid the majority of his contract during his time back in LA, Karros played ENTIRELY too much and Pudz was kept another year(too long) because of that trade as well.

 

 

Color me unimpressed.

 

Hendry has some major faults, but he has been quite good @ acquiring talent via trades. How many GM's have traded for 2 guys as good as ARam & Lee the past 3 years w/out giving up anything?
