chw42 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 The Braves are looking at Glaus. If they seriously traded Vazquez just to sign somebody like Glaus, that might be the worst trade ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Dec 23, 2009 -> 09:26 PM) I thought they changed that but I could be wrong. They did change the rule. Under the current CBA teams are free to negotiate with their free agents through the entire offseason even if they either did not offer arbitration or offered and had it declined. The Sox could still bring back Dotel, Podsednik or Dye without breaking any rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
