Julian Tavarez - R - Cardinals

 

 

Julian Tavarez and the Red Sox have agreed to a two-year deal with a vesting option, according to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal.

This comes as quite a surprise. No financial terms yet, but Tavarez will likely to command at least $4 million per season. His addition might mean that Guillermo Mota will be moved in a deal for a center fielder or a shortstop. Jan. 11 - 3:38 pm et

Either they're stockpiling bullpen arms, or one of their bullpen guys is going somewhere in a trade soon...

Wasn't their bullpen rather weak last year?

Yes it was, but they have a real glut of relivers to choose from now - I agree that one or more of those arms are heading somewhere for a CF.

It'll be interesting to see how Tavarez handles the pressures of Boston.

I like his song from "Saturday Night Fever"

Hey lookathat, it's spelled differently.

Looks like back to AAA for JVB. Wonder if Tavarez will voice his opinion on Massachusetts's gay marraige laws.

Is that because they had to have a leg amputated to give the rest of the AL East a chance?

No, "there boot" is a giant boot statue over there in NYC where they hide when things get tough

Cardinals loose another guy in the pen, although it was not a big loss he still pitched alot of innings. Cubs in my opinion have one of the best bullpen's in the league. That is if everyone can pitch to their potential.
