caulfield12 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 After all, he’s (Prince Fielder) done his time in the market where everything must go right in order to contend. And he has his suitors in Seattle, Washington, maybe Chicago (North Side), Miami, Baltimore and Toronto. Through no fault of his own, it appears his timing is simply crummy. The Yankees and Red Sox are both set at first base and perhaps diving for the luxury tax threshold. The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets are utter wrecks financially. The Chicago White Sox are, well, I don’t know what they are. The Angels opted for Pujols. Passan/yahoosports.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Red Sox now realized they need a SS worthy of starting? Deal is done now supposedly. The Red Sox have traded shortstop Marco Scutaro to the Rockies, according to an ESPN.com report on Saturday. The Red Sox received right-handed pitcher Clayton Mortensen in return. Mortensen, 26, is a former first-round sandwich pick in 2007 by St. Louis, who sent Mortensen to Oakland in the deal for outfielder Matt Holliday.

Brian Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Good deal for Fielder being able to opt out after 3 years. I'm guessing he probably will unless Stras stays healthy, Harper can produce, and the team stays in contention. Kudos for the Nationals for trying. Orioles fans can't be happy.

southsider2k5 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/...eague-contract/ Mariners sign Kevin Millwood to minor league contract Drew Silva Jan 22, 2012, 6:32 PM EST 6 Comments kevin millwood getty Getty Images The Mariners have added a touch of gray to their otherwise-under-30 starting rotation depth chart. According to CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman, Seattle agreed to a minor league contract on Sunday evening with veteran righty Kevin Millwood. The deal comes with an invitation to spring training, where Millwood will get a legitimate chance at claiming a spot as the club’s third, fourth or fifth starter. (It gets kind of murky there beyond Felix Hernandez and Jason Vargas). Millwood, 37, posted a surprising 3.98 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in nine starts for the Rockies last season, issuing only eight walks in 54 1/3 innings. He’ll challenge Japanese right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma and youngsters Blake Beavan, Hector Noesi and Charlie Furbush down in Mariners camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
