Roy Oswalt has cleared waivers and is close to being traded to an unknown team.

Should Mets look into Jacoby Ellsbury
For the record, I'd like the deal. Finally get a legit leadoff guy/OF here. He's cost around $8-9 mil but at least he wouldn't be Jason Bay'd.

Boston media is probably chomping at the bit to go to their "obviously a juicer" file when he leaves town.

Heyman reporting Justin Morneau was claimed on waivers a few days ago, but no trade was completed and the Twins pulled him back.
Mr. Enigma

Orioles have signed Randy Wolf. No word on whether he will be used as a starter or a reliever.
It sounds like it was the Dodgers who claimed him, prior to their deal with Boston.
Mr. Enigma
Member
More than likely. There's also stuff going around that the Dodgers contacted the Yankees about C.C. Sabathia and Mark Teixeira before the Boston deal. New York said "Not interested."

I'm just going to assume that anyone who had a claim put on them and then pulled back was from the Dodgers.

I am really surprised the Yankees wouldnt do that.

Oh cool. So we can see more 4-5 hour, boring as fuck Yankees and Red Sox games?
NTCs aside, why would the Yankees ship off CC? They just extended him. I'd be fine with dumping Tex though
yankeehater

It would hurt to lose CC in the short term but they could have freed up a ton of money to go and replace those guys with younger guys.
This has always been the least of the problems with the blackout policy. Those games are simulcast for the local market anyway

So I heard earlier on WFAN that the Dodgers inquired about CC Sabathia and Mark Texiera prior to the big trade they made..
...
The Dodgers have lost their fucking mind.

This is just making you miss Omar Minaya. Don't fight it.

Minaya just overpays bad players. Dodgers took on MASSIVE deals AND gutted their whole system. That's the deadly double play.
It would more than hurt. The Yankees are in first place and need CC to contend. A midseason salary dump would be ridiculous. I could see it making more sense in the offseason if the Yankees got Hamels or something. I would rather keep CC though
Regardless, CC has a full no-trade and he wants to finish his career in NY which is why he took an extension over opting-out in the first place. He isn't going anywhere

Guillermo Mota is back from his 100-game suspension. He is in the Giants bullpen for tonight's game. Jeremy Affeldt was placed on the Paternity Leave list.
One more drug test failure and Mota will be suspended for life.

Bad day for Blue Jays fans.
Their first round pick in this year's draft, Marcus Stroman, failed a drug test for synthetic testosterone. Suspended 50 games/
Jose Bautista is having surgery on wrist and is done for the season.

Tomodachi wa Mahou
He's the 4th Rays A-ball player to be suspended for methamphetamine and amphetamine in the last week.
Evidently everybody in A-ball is on meth. And not just the ones that play in Bakersfield.
snore. this was a done deal. Only care about the Broadcast side (Buck's gotta go)
Mr. Enigma

Joe Buck doesn't do ESPN.
That what i ment, I only care that some other network take Fox's Broadcast rights.

Dodgers and Nationals are top teams in on Oswalt.

Worst. Season. Ever.*

Strasburg's replacement!

There's honestly enough material to make a Moneyball sequel for another book/movie.
Nothing would surprise me at this point.
I would be OK with this.

ESPN reporting Davey Johnson and Mike Rizzo got into a heated argument in the Nats clubhouse after they were swept by the Phillies on Sunday. Rizzo bitched out the team for playing sloppy and Davey got in his face to defend his players. Rizzo later apologized for being too emotional.

Don't sleep on the bags. Gibby will love to play spoilers
I was too young to remember the 1988 season, being a year old at the time, but looking at the standings... doesn't seem that bad to me. What happened? I know '87 was the real gut-punch.
