2007 Free Agent: Greg Norton
I must admit that I have never followed the Devil Rays that closely. My familiarity with the team and its players is limited to what I experienced in their games against Toronto over the years. This might explain why I am not familiar with Greg Norton, but apparently I should know exactly who he is. [...]
A-Rod: The "A" stands for Angels
Alex Rodriguez needs a change of scenery. It will be interesting to see what transpires in October, but regardless, New York has become an uncomfortable home for A-Rod. MLB Trade Rumors has a great post about what the 2007 Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim might look like, but I was surprised that A-Rod's name didn't [...]
Bowden on a roll, Nats acquire Nook Logan
The Nationals made headlines again today with yet another acquisition: GM Jim Bowden announced that Washington Nationals acquired 26 year-old CF Nook Logan from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Nook, who was DFA'd last week by the Tigers, is not known as a power slugger [...]
Nationals deal Anderson to Dodgers
The Nationals made another last minute waiver deal, sending IF Marlon Anderson and cash to the Dodgers for RHP Jhonny Nunez. Anderson has proven a useful utility player this year, but I'm happy to see the team focus on acquiring pitching, and Nunez is an intriguing player. With the Gulf Coast Dodgers this season, he's [...]
Daryle Ward traded to Atlanta, Nevin is a Twin
I'm a little sad to see Daryle Ward leaving Washington. I had high hopes for him when he was signed in the off-season, and I'd say he delivered mightily off the bench this year for the Nats. Dependable Daryle! The Braves are keeping their Wild Card hopes alive will use the left-handed batter in clutch [...]

Wells scratched from start
echo: Wells scratched from start amid trade speculation, Wells pulled from Thursday's start: Lefty not at Fenway, Tavarez to face Jays You know my bets are with San Diego. We'll know soon enough…
Kottaras is key to Wells trade
Well, it didn't happen last night like the Astros' announcer had suggesed, but this morning brings with it some clarity as to who the San Diego Padres would be willing to part with to acquire pitcher David Wells from Boston. According to ESPN, catcher George Kottaras is the player the Padres are dangling. Baseball Prospectus [...]
David Wells to the Padres
One of the announcers of the Houston Astros game just announced that the Padres will be acquiring David Wells tonight. After today's loss to the Athletics, Theo Epstein simply must make a move. Wells will likely retire at the end of the season, so this is the Red Sox' only chance to get something meaningful [...]
Nationals release Jackson, Matos clears waivers
In order to make room for Robert Fick who returned from the DL, the Nationals released Damian Jackson on Friday. I have to say that I was surprised by Jackson's lack of performance this year. I wasn't very familiar with Jackson until near the end of last season when he saw playing time with [...]
