the Mets now are in play for Beltran. They are going to meet next week to discuss contract possibilities.

Well the Yankees/Diamonbacks are talking again, and sources say they are VERY close to a deal that would send Randy Johnson to the yankees in exchange for Javier Vazquez, prospects and a "Large" sum of cash.

As for the Beltran sweepstakes it looks like he is choosing between Houston and drum roll please.........................the Yankees.

Yankees have offered him more money, and Beltran was extremely impressed after his meeting with Steinbrenner. ESPN states that the Yankees will more than likely get Beltran.

If Beltran and Johnson go to the Yankees, their payroll would jump to around 220 Million dollars for next year.

The yankees just wound up paying more in luxury tax (around 40 milllion), than the entire Devil Rays payroll from last year.

Man I wish they had a salary cap in baseball.

For this exact reason, I don't watch baseball anymore.

I'm more excited about Tino coming back to the Yankees.

Roberto Alomar is close to signing a 1-year $500,000 contract with the Cards. I think he still has a year or two left.

Shawn Green is going to be traded to the Diamondbacks for a few prospects.

Beltran declined the Astros' contract offer. Look like the Mets are going to sign him. Mets' offer is 7 year 119 millions.

Tadpole · Post by **Tadpole** » Sun Jan 09, 2005 2:25 pm

He will go to the Met's, along with Pedro, and will suck like everyone who has gone to the Met's recently. :lol:

Mags might be coming to the O's...read this in my local paper.

Tadpole · Post by **Tadpole** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 6:25 pm

Most likely. He had two surgeries on them over the off season. Says he is playable with them. :dunno:

Carlos Delgado signed with the Florida Marlins for 4 years / 52 millions

Tadpole · Post by **Tadpole** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 5:10 pm

Yeah, sucks. O's were close to nabbing him. Fish will have a very potent batting line-up this upcoming season. :cry:

There... the greatest team in all of baseball. There is no other.

Tadpole · Post by **Tadpole** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 5:42 pm

Indians have a good young line-up. They might repeat what they did in the mid 90's in a few.

Tadpole · Post by **Tadpole** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 12:23 pm

Sammy Sosa has been traded to the O's for Jerry Hairston and a few minor leaguers...FINALLY, WE GOT THE OTHER HITTER WE WANTED TO GET!

The trade is pending a physical.

Diekan · Post by **Diekan** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 12:46 pm

Well looks like the Indians are going to be bringing Shuey back... not sure how effective he's gonna be - I just hope he doesn't hurt this thumb again lol.

I used to watch the Mudhens play in Toledo - now I am forced to watch the Sand Gnats down here... minors are ok, but I hate the Braves and refuse to drive 4 hours to watch them play...

Soooo, sinse I live so friggen far away I'll have to follow the Tribe on tv and in the papers.
