    The Cubs sealing this deal on their own would be a surprise, given that the one constant through all the noise has been that if the Cubs want to get this done, they'll need a third team to provide some trade ammo.
  3. BCVM22
    The Trib, the Reds and Dye's agent all deny this.

    Fox Sports and Yahoo! Sports (citing the Fox report) say Detroit acquires catcher Gerald Laird from Texas for AA pitcher Guillermo Moscoso and a second prospect.

    This must be the case, because it works now. Stupid Ohio.

    Less "the deal is on life support"/"don't count out the Angels/Brewers/Mets/Yankees/Royals" links, more "the Cubs and Padres are expected to choose a third team and finalize the deal this week" please.

    So... following the link provided comes up empty, trying to access the Sports hub or the Reds pages comes up just as empty. Golf clap for the Dayton Daily News' web division. Anyone else have another link for this?

    That's only $1 mil less than he would have made if the Cubs had picked up the 2009 option on his previous contract. Given that the Cubs want him back but at a lower price, I would think that if he and the Cubs can reach an agreement for one more year, it'll be $1 mil and change for 2009, tops.

    Putz will get what he's due to be paid in 2009 ($5 mil), most likely, since he's not a free agent.

    They run Monday-Thursday of next week, if I'm not mistaken. So it's basically four days of refreshing your baseball news feed of choice, lest you miss a big announcements.

    Khalil Greene on the Cards would scare me a bit.
  12. BCVM22
    It's always the [expletive] Orioles.
  13. BCVM22
    A bit crass for this particular thread, but no, Blanco is currently a free agent.

    Single-A catcher Tyler Flowers is supposedly the unnamed third prospect coming from the Braves. He was one of the players the Padres were targeting in their dealings with Atlanta. Nice.

    Generally, a limited no-trade clause grants the player the right to determine where he is traded if he is traded to varying degrees, i.e. he can't outright say "I won't permit you to trade me" but he does have a significant say in where he is traded. Players with this manner of protection usually specify a list of teams to whom they are/are not willing to be traded. A full no-trade clause gives the player complete control over whether he is traded or not. The front office can engage in the discussions and machinations of trading the player all they like, but any potential deal cannot be consummated without the express approval of the player, accomplished by convincing the player to consent to waive his no-trade clause. Often, teams have to sweeten the pot for the player with the clause by guaranteeing a monetary option in the contract in exchange for the player waiving the clause and consenting to being traded.

    Oh HELL no.

    Reading that makes me want to punch the Pirates.com counterpart of Muskat in the face.

    That's the kind of gravy I like on my turkey.

    Do you know the tale of how cornmeal came to be? Neither did the miller when he left his house that morning.
  20. BCVM22
    Which comes from the Sun-Times article that was already posted, so take it as you will.

    I remain skeptical. Not only have they tried this before and not gone back to it since, but Lou said this at the beginning of last season as well. Fontenot's been in the system since 2005 and he's seen some amount of major league action in three seasons so far - it just seems to me that if they felt he could handle short to any acceptable degree, they'd have put him out there for an appreciable amount of time already.

    Chicago's other A. Ramirez got 4 years/$4.75 mil.

    Everyone's favorite Cubs.com writer chimes in:
  24. BCVM22
    It's all just so much noise at this point.

    Oh lord
