JayJaxon Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Buster Olney is reporting that the Mets may call off their pursuit of Jason Bay in favor of a few less expensive options. Orlando Hudson and Randy Winn were mentioned.He also says the Cardinals may do the same with the Holliday situation. They have an offer on the table that is widely speculated to be the best one out there for him. But the Holliday camp is not budging. Maybe one day Scott Boras will learn that just because he compares a player to Mark Teixeira doesn't mean everyone else does. Then Olney mentioned something that really got my attention. He says he doesn't expect the Braves to spend any more money after signing Glaus. THEY BETTER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 The Mets off-season plan put your fingers in your ears, close your eyes and sing the la la song.So their off-season plan is basically the same approach you take with politics.

JayJaxon Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Word on the street is that the Braves are going to go after Dan Uggla and possibly give up newly acquired Cabrera to get him. Apparently, the Marlins will have to be blown away by any offers coming from Atlanta. But if the Bravos can land Uggla, I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew22 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I think the Marlins would be eager to trade Uggla since they're trying to stay under $40 million in payroll and a bunch of their players got raises in arbitration.I've also seen that the Cubs are interested in Melky Cabrera.

TFoA Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Anything that can get Melky out of town would be fine by me. Like the good man @ Talking Chop so succinctly put it, he's basically the Yankees' version of Jeff Francoeur. A three-way deal between the Cubs, Marlins, & Braves in which which the Braves get Uggla, the Cubs get Melky, & the Marlins get some prospects that they won't pay when they reach their potential would be ideal, but idk if that'll happen or how. Would be nice, though.Also, Mark DeRosa is probably gonna be a Giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Also, Mark DeRosa is probably gonna be a Giant.Which means that Kung Fu Panda will move to 1B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Smart move on their part if they do move him to 1st. They were already leaning towards doing it last year, so a full move there would be for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'm a huge fan of this move. Derosa may have some down sides, but he helps to really balance out the Giants lineup. If they can reup Uribe and possibly bring in Jermaine Dye they could really give LA and Colorado a run for their money.

Brass Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Per Rotoworld.comAccording to WFAN's Mike Francesca, the Mets have signed Jason Bay and completion of the deal is only pending a physical.Sources have informed Francesca that Bay's contract will be finalized early next week. It's not yet clear what the exact financial terms are, though the Mets' latest rumored offer was worth $65 million over four years. If they stuck to their guns, it seems like a fine pickup. Bay, 31, hit .267/.384/.537 with 36 home runs, 119 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 531 at-bats this past season and will add considerable pop to the Mets' 2010 lineup.

gingerbreadmann Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 It's $6MM more. Oh well, Urbon really misplayed the market and I'm glad nobody gave him 5 years. The most disappointing part is that he signed with the Mets. First, of course because they're the Mets, but more importantly because their first round pick is protected so no we're stuck with their second rounder. Drat.
