Has Johnny Damon signed with anyone yet?

He'll resign with Boston most likely. He's more valuable to them than any other team, and he wants to stay a Red Sox from all indications.

Minneapolis Star Tribune is reporting that Minnesota and Texas have talked about a deal that could send both Hank Blalock and Kevin Mench to the Twins for J.C. Romero and Scott Baker and could also include a third team .......... :thumbdown:

 

Nope, don't like this one at all !! :mad:

 

Scott Baker is a worthy pitcher. I don't think the whole deal is worth including Blalock though.

White Sox agree to deal, landing Vazquez for El Duque

 

 

By RICK GANO, AP Sports Writer

December 14, 2005

 

CHICAGO (AP) -- Hoping to bolster their starting rotation, the World Series champion White Sox agreed to acquire right-hander Javier Vazquez from Arizona for right-hander Orlando Hernandez, reliever Luis Vizcaino and minor league outfielder Chris Young, a baseball official said Wednesday.

 

The deal is contingent on the players passing physicals and must be approved by commissioner Bud Selig because Arizona is sending the White Sox cash to help pay part of Vazquez's salary.

 

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade had not been finalized. The agreement was first reported by the Chicago Tribune and Newsday in Wednesday's editions.

 

It would be the fourth major offseason move by the White Sox since Chicago won its first World Series since 1917. The White Sox re-signed first baseman Paul Konerko and traded for DH Jim Thome and utility player Rob Mackowiak.

 

Vazquez filed a formal trade demand Nov. 10, the right of veteran players dealt during multiyear contracts. Arizona had until March 15 to trade him or risk having Vazquez become a free agent.

 

He is owed $11.5 million next year and $12.5 million in 2007.

The Los Angeles Dodgers unloaded the switch-hitting outfielder, Milton Bradley, Tuesday, sending him to the Oakland Athletics along with infielder Antonio Perez for minor league outfielder Andre Ethier, the Texas League player of the year.

 

You think they wanted to get rid of Bradley?

Just a little bit.

 

I think the Dodgers also sent a case of aspirin and BC Headache pills as part of the deal cause they figure he will create a few headaches there.

This is Julio not John Franco. Julio is the hitter that used to play with the Rangers, and about every other team.

 

Julio and John Franco are about the same age too. John looked sick last year though during his brief time as an Astro reliever. I think his MLB career is over.

The Seattle Times is reporting that Jarrod Washburn's deal with the Mariners is between $30 and $38 million. :w00t:

 

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that Bronson Arroyo could be traded to the Mariners for Jeremy Reed if the Red Sox do not re-sign Johnny Damon.
