Wow, I'm pretty surprised that the Pirates were able to dump Redman and not have to pay any of his salary. Good move there.

Latest Boston Globe rumor involves Manny to the Dodgers in a package that involves J.D. Drew and Derrick Lowe.

Maybe the Dodgers are serious this offseason. First Furcal, now Manny? Spending some coin trying to keep up with the 2005 NL WEST CHAMPION SAN DIEGO, SUPER PADRES!DY:I believe the rumor is:Latest Boston Globe rumor involves Manny to the Dodgers in a package that involves J.D. Drew and Derrick Lowe.

BOS gets: Abreu, Drew
LAD gets: Manny
PHI gets: Lowe, Nixon
Looks like PHI gets the short straw in that deal. Though they could be entirely different rumors. Who knows.

unless that PTBNL is Chad Cordero, that's the best deal of the offseason, IMO.Side note, I own Soriano in my keeper league.

Brad Wilkerson??? WTF? That's the best they could've done?Maybe it's not true...this is CBS Sportsline's update...
Wilkerson was traded to the Rangers on Wednesday along with Terrmel Sledge for Antonio Soriano.

With Vidro already in the lineup, it looks like the Nationals might put Soriano in left-field. Obviously playing in RFK stadium doesn't help his fantasy value at all.Didn't the Rangers have Wilkerson last season, only he was called David Dellucci?

My guess is that the Rangers try to flip Wilkerson to the Cubs for a young pitcher.

I thought Soriano had flat out refused to play any OF position, which is why it was so hard to deal him? But he won't put up anything close to the offensive numbers he's used to playing in that cavern.With Vidro already in the lineup, it looks like the Nationals might put Soriano in left-field.

I'm sure no one but Yankee fans care, but they offered him arbitration. He declined. One more month to work out a deal to keep Bernie in pinstripes.

Here is a link for the Todd Jones signing. The article also mentions that the Tigers are close to singing Kenny Rogers.
Note on the Jones signing. By waiting until after midnight the Tigers do not have to give the Marlins their 2nd round pick in the draft. This is because Fla. did not offer arbitration to Jones.

Will the Rangers ever learn that you need pitching to win? How could they not get some for Soriano?
Did I miss a mention of the big Steve Kline for LaTroy Hawkins trade the O's pulled off earlier in the week. Now THERE's a blockbuster for you. Soriano might get to play a lot more 2B than you might think with the Nats. Jose Vidro is still hurt and if it takes him a while to come back, Soriano might have to open the season at second.

Bad news: • The Cardinals also offered arbitration to free-agent pitcher Matt Morris, who was 14-10 with a 4.11 ERA in 31 starts last season.
(I hope to god they find someone else and let this overrated bum go. He was useless in the final week of the season and the playoffs.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good news: • Left-hander Ray King was traded from St. Louis to Colorado for outfielder Larry Bigbie and infielder Aaron Miles.
King was 4-4 with a 3.38 ERA in 77 relief appearances for the Cardinals, but didn't make an appearance in either of the team's playoffs series this year.
In 447 career games for the Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee, Atlanta and St. Louis, King is 18-18 with a 3.12 ERA. In 12 career appearances at Coors Field, opposing hitters have gone just 4-for-27 (.148) against him and he has allowed one run in 8 1/3 innings. He turns 32 next month.
Bigbie was traded from Baltimore to Colorado for outfielder Eric Byrnes on July 29. He hit a combined .239 with five homers and 23 RBI for the Rockies and Orioles.
Miles, who started 69 games at second base for the Rockies, batted .281 with two home runs and 28 RBIs in 99 games last season.
(both are cheap and mildly productive. I'll take that over a tubby LOOGY anyday)

Here is the full deal involving the Jays & Brewers...
With Wilkerson getting dealt to the Rangers I wouldn't be surprised to see OF Kevin Mench end up here now...
I like Overbay but the Jays need to start dumping some of their first baggers with Hillenbrand and Hinske already rostered.

1) How many 1B/3B/DHs do the Blue Jays need? (Koskie, Hinske, Hillenbrand, overbay, Hill)
2) Best move of the offseason was by far DC stealing Soriano
3) Most overrated move of the offseason was by far Boston trading a friggin backup catcher for an AS 2B
4) ARE THE YANKEES EVER GONNA DO SOMETHING?

Thanks. I really like the Miles pickup. He can play the utility role vacated by Nunez and before his knee injury he showed good speed and a little pop (albeit in Colorado). I like it.Glad to be rid of Ray King. Guy was worthless. We still need a lefty out of the pen, but my 8 year old is available and probably more clutch than King.Good news and Bad news for Cards fans, courtosy of ESPN.com

Bigbie is an interesting prospect. H eprobably gets sent down for awhile, but IIRC he was a hot prospect a few years back wasn't he?

Bigbie is not a prospect. He is a solid to above average 3rd or 4th outfielder. Nothing more. He will probably fill the Mabry spot.Thanks. I really like the Miles pickup.

Depending on the level of the prospect involved from the Brewers side, this is an outstanding deal for Milwaukee. Bush is EXACTLY the type of pitcher that Mike Maddux helps. Gross is going to make a good 4th or 5th outfielder and LHP Jackson has a great deal of potential.Here is the full deal involving the Jays & Brewers...
I like Overbay but the Jays need to start dumping some of their first baggers with Hillenbrand and Hinske already rostered.

This is the part where on one of those Spanish language sitcoms that Wilson Betemit picks up the morning paper at the breakfast table, puts his hand on his cheek and says directly into the camera "hay Dios meo" like the Saturday Night Live bit.Marte is a blue-chip bull. Boston got a keeper there.

I agree. But (Bigbie + Miles) > Ray KingMatt Morris being offered arbitration was strictly a move to position themselves to receive a draft pick if he's signed as a free agent. With the offers I've heard bandied about for Morris, I don't think there's any way in hell he accepts arbitration. Good gamble by the Cards.Bigbie is not a prospect.
