irresponsible rumor mongering Stories - Over the Monster
Thinking About the Nature of Bench Players and Moving Xavier Nady
Now that Junior has returned to the Mariners, can we expect to hear about more conversations between Frank Wren and Brian Cashman? While our SBN sister-site expects the Braves to move forward with the pieces they've got, I expect the two sides to do more than just kick the tires. The truth is, I...
Another CF Trade Proposal
With Alfonso Soriano signed through 2014 at roughly $18M per, Kosuke Fukudome through 2011 for $13M, and the ink not dry yet on Milton Bradley's 3 years and $30M, the Cubs have three expensive starters on the roster. And that could be a problem for Joey Gathright and Reed Johnson. The MLB.com...
Creating Flexibility?
From the Rocky Mountain News: The Yankees are looking to move two from a group of outfielders of Xavier Nady, Swisher and Hideki Matsui. The Angels, Texas, Oakland and Atlanta are considered to have interest. If the Yanks are serious about moving two of these guys must mean that they are...
Irresponsible Rumor Mongering
Buster Olney: If the Yankees were to trade Cano to L.A., they almost certainly would insist upon an elite pitcher like Clayton Kershaw or Chad Billingsley in return, and in failing to get that, they'd lock in on outfielder Matt Kemp. At 23, Billingsley just recorded his first 200 inning...

Manny: 2 years, $60 million?
Let me preface this by saying it's wild rumor and speculation. But on the off chance that there's a scintilla of truth to it, I'll link to the story: The Dodgers have offered Manny Ramirez a two-year deal worth $60 million to remain in Los Angeles. But are the Dodgers serious about having...
The Deal(s) I'd Make
ESPN: Multiple sources consider it likely the Padres will deal Peavy in the weeks ahead, and that it is a virtual certainty he will be traded before the July 31 deadline next season. The Padres are seeking at least two young pitchers in return, along with someone who can become the team's...
Irresponsible Rumor Mongering
It's June, which means it's the time of the year when I start paying attention to MLB Trade Rumors again. They've got two Yankee related posts up today. The first addresses long-standing interest in the Rockies' Brian Fuentes. The 32-year old has made the All-Star Team the last three straight...
