First big-ish trade of the offseason. Royals trade David DeJesus to the Athletics for Vin Mazzaro and Justin Marks. Win for the Royals, IMO. DeJesus seems to be a good fit for Oakland, but they overpaid. I expected them to trade one of their starting pitchers, but I also expected them to get a bit more. Oh well, I still view the A's as next season's Reds/Rangers.

So, there are a whole bunch of Justin Upton related trade rumors flying around today. The D-Backs are looking for a ton in return, as they should. JP Morosi suggested that the Red Sox may get heavily involved in this. If this somehow happens, perhaps Jayson Werth falls back to the Phillies. This may get interesting.

Your optimism amuses me :rolleyes:

 

I'd be shocked if the DBacks dealt Justin Upton, lol, could you imagine Upton in Boston? Dude would hit 50 HR's a year.

I am not optimistic at all. Just stating that something like that is probably the only way JWerth winds up back here.

 

And yeah, I will be surprised too considering their asking price. Somebody in their front office was supposedly asked what it would take to get Upton and he replied "everything".

Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Braves and Marlins are discussing a Dan Uggla for Omar Infante and Mike Dunn trade. Interesting, and very surprising. Career utility infielder and a fringe left handed specialist for an elite offensive player at a premium position. And within the division no less. Hope this isn't true. This isn't how the Marlins usually do business.

And this trade just happened. Unreal.

 

So, who was the one saying the Marlins are a world class organization?

3 years/$16.5 million for Joaquin Benoit from the Tigers. Wow. The middle relief market is totally out of whack. Makes the Jose Contreras deal look an awful lot better.

Yankees offered Jeter 3 for 63, Jeter said no... He wants four years.

 

Dude needs to realize he's worth 3 for 21, tops, on the open market... He's getting triple that...

 

As a "captain" he needs to realize how crippling his 3 year contract will be, the fourth year of a contract would be an absolute nightmare.
