See Red Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/met...0,1176471.storyNATIONALS GET:OF Lastings MilledgeMETS GET:OF Ryan ChurchC Brian SchneiderMETS FANS GET:Very, very angry.What on Earth is Omar Minaya thinking/smoking!? Lastings Milledge was either the future of the Mets or the chip that would land them the missing piece. And they trade him for...Ryan Church and Brian Schneider!?That is an odd trade. Milledge will probably be just as good as Church, but has a higher upside. Then they also get a back up catcher. Not a very good trade IMO. I was hoping the O's would go after Milledge. The Mets must have valued him much lower than I thought.I don't think it is the Mets valuing Milledge too low, but the fact that they tried to trade him to other teams and nobody wanted him. If the Mets were unable to trade Milledge now, what they should have done was play him in '08 and hope he has a good season then if they were still willing to trade him more teams would want him.They could've traded him two seasons ago to the A's for Zito and probably would've had that pitcher there in the playoffs that would've pushed them past the Cards and on to the rusty ass Tigers. Brilliant, New York management just won some brownie points with me And if the Mets front office didn't up three or four years ago and overestimate their ability to get into the playoffs, they could've had him and Scott Kazmir.

cappital92 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I'm glad Church is gone, but I'm a little concered about who the Nats catcher will be now. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hard to say how good he is. He needs a chance to adjust to the MLB. They could've had Manny for the kid a year or two ago. The Mets completely blew it in how they dealt with this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I guess the Yankees are now willing to give up Hughes. This is great. A lot of people expect Hughes to be as good as, if not better than, Santana eventually.If the Yankees offer Hughes, Melky Cabrera, and another prospect for Santana -- they are the losers of that particular deal. Here's to hoping they do it and the Red Sox turn around and pickup Haren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel a little shaky about Jesus Flores. If he does alright, I can see the Nats in third next year. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes?

BaltimoreFan Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 It's being reported that Erik Bedard is not interesting in signing an extension with the O's. Apparently he does not want to be in Baltimore. If the O's get a solid deal for him, he'll probably be with another team sometime next week.

See Red Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Red Sox seem willing to deal Ellsbury. But aren't willing to deal Ellsbury AND Lester.Meanwhile the Yankees have offered Phillip Hughes, which would make their offer Phillip Hughes, Melky Cabrera, and another player.Hard to say which offer is better... personally, I'd take the Yankees deal. Melky Cabrera is going to be very, very good one day and I expect Hughes to eventually be as good as Santana. That said, Ellsbury may just be better than Melky one day and Lowrie and Masterson are very good prospects thrown in.It's weird that that got out because the Red Sox are usually very secretive. I have to think this information is getting out because they want it to... having the Yankees know what they're offering actually benefits them in this instance because they either land the deal or drive up the price for New York.

Audiodrama Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 Word has it that, late last night, the Red Sox and Twins were swapping medical records of Johan Santana and Jon Lester. From all of the blogs, radio broadcasts and newspapers I've read, they may have a deal in place that would send Santana to Boston for Jon Lester, Coco Crisp, Jed Lowrie and Justin Masterson. We'll see where this thing goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Word has it that, late last night, the Red Sox and Twins were swapping medical records of Johan Santana and Jon Lester. From all of the blogs, radio broadcasts and newspapers I've read, they may have a deal in place that would send Santana to Boston for Jon Lester, Coco Crisp, Jed Lowrie and Justin Masterson. We'll see where this thing goes...I think I read that the Twins like Jon Lester more than Phillip Hughes... not that I understand why, but I won't complain. Maybe because Lester's a lefty? I like Lester and all, but I like Hughes' ceiling much more. Lowrie's blocked by Pedroia and Lugo... Coco Crisp is expendable with Jacoby Ellsbury ready for next season, and will have probably been dealt this offseason anyway, and while I don't know much about Masterson, I don't know where he plays into the future of the club. He'll probably end up a reliever, I'd think.This sounds like it's getting pretty close. Special thanks to the clowns that are running things in New York for setting that deadline. Red Sox really had a win/win situation here... either they land Santana without losing anyone they can't afford to replace fairly easily or New York lands him and gives up guys they really can't afford to lose. And now if New York gets back involved, they lose any credibility they still had after the A-Rod fiasco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audiodrama Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 Big, big splash made today by the Tigers, just when you thought Johan Santana would be the day's headliner. Great move by Dave Dombrowski & company to bring Detroit back to the elite in the American League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got some serious young arms on that squad, now. Detroit's going to be deadly serious next year.And in the meantime, apparently the Marlins are going for another youth movement, because IIRC this is Firesale #3.

tp49 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Jeffrey Loria is doing as great of a job with the Marlins as he did with the Expos. This is a guy who should not own a professional sports team under any circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
