I had seen in quite a few trade rumors that the Yankees and dodgers were in negotiations for Milton Bradley,i really hope this happens,i would love for the first time him and Sheff go after a fly ball and collide or the first time he doesn't run out a play and Larry Bowa comes out after him...thats what i call must see t.v.

meh i knew eventually we coudnt keep EVERYBODY. We have to sign Willis and Cabrera for sure but realstically we just cant afford the other guys,i do however dont think we ll unload Delgado yet

props to encal on saying the truth and callin his own red sox fans stupid

Delgado almost assuredly will be traded. His contract is just TOO huge. Word is that Loria wants the payroll down to $40M. Trading Delgado and his 14M next year would bring them very close to that goal.

Originally posted by Member of X Trading Cameron for Nady? That's it? I'm sure Cameron was worth more than a platoon guy with some pop. Cameron is one of the best defensive outfielders and there's a glut of teams looking for CF help. I don't get that trade fellas.... Man I wish he was roaming CF for the Yanks, he'd be perfect!!

My thinking on the Cammy trade is that Omar has been shopping Cameron for months now. Every conversation he's had with teams is about Cameron. I think Omar knows Cameron's value better than we do.

Cameron is damaged goods. Yeah, he passed his physical. But that doesn't mean he will be able to play ball the way he used to. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

As for Juan Pierre... yuck.

And the Yankees aren't getting Milton Bradley. Cashman doesn't want him at all.

Supposedly, Mets are talking with the Marlins about Castillo in addition to Delgado. I'd take both of them, even though I don't like Castillo too much.

I would gladly take both of them.Get rid of Matsui,keep Miguel Cairo as a utility infielder and now it looks like by tuesday B.J. Ryan will be our next closer.i want to see the Mets sign Guillermo Mota,i think he is still one of the best middle relievers
I think we will be keeping Nady as well

I'd rather sign Octavio Dotel (coolest name in baseball). I miss him. Is Mota a Free Agent? I think he has to be non-tendered first.

I think a bullpen of Wags/Ryan, Dotel, Heilman, Padilla, Berto and whoever else is pretty damn good.

What about Carl Pavano???

He supposedly wants out of the bronx...

I always laugh, because all these guys who go there??? What? Do they think they're going to be top shelf with guys like AROD and Unit on the same team???

Pavano please go, you aren't worth $10 million. Trading him will make my day...

Another free agent bust by the Yanks. But once he leaves it seems like he'll star for someone else.

Nope. Sadly... Pavano just plain sucks.

However, one ex-Yankee I do want on the Mets is Javier Vasquez. He has to be traded by February or else he'll become a FA.

...BECKETT in BOSTON???????

I hate when the red sox go and do crap like this, dammit, I pledged I was done with the friggen sox... this really puts me in a spot... because the only guy that could bring me back as a sox fan would be Troy Glaus or Josh Beckett....

points and laugh
while the Marlins are getting some prospects who will probably lead us to the world series in 3 years,woo hoo

lol... I could not believe the Marlins took Hanley Ramirez, I think the guy is so friggen over-rated... every idiot up here WAS calling for Ramirez' name when Rentaria stunk it up all season... because fans are stupid... but Hanley Ramirez is nothing special, he's awful, but he was the best prospect in the sox farm system, which says a lot.......means....... the marlins just got average crap...lol!
