I guess the Washburn move has really cooled off. Haven't seen one new story on it. With the other moves today, I still think this is the biggest need. Not necessarily Washburn but a solid SP.

If it was any team other than the Mariners that we were dealing with I'd say the trade still happens. But I'm convinced Seattle truly believes that they deserve legitimate talent in return for Washburn despite the fact that he's a pretty mediocre pitcher making a ton of money and they'd benefit just by shedding his salary.Originally Posted by CT-Yankee

I the past I remember single headline moves. But you're right--this year we have a series of headline moves. It is indeed great.

the only deal in which the team who really improved following their trade for BIG talent is boston, and epstein gets a glowing report. typical.

Ken Rosenthal reports Ken Griffey Jr gets traded to Chi White Sox
The Red Sox are looking to acquire a shortstop and may have targeted Miguel Tejada of the Houston Astros. If Tejada goes to Boston, it is expected that his name will be expunged from the Mitchell report.

Yankees pursuing Byrd?
The Yankees, frustrated by their attempts to land Mariners left-hander Jarrod Washburn, are "kicking around" the idea of adding Indians righty Paul Byrd, according to major-league sources.
As of 12:30 p.m. ET, the Yankees and Indians had not yet exchanged names, but a deal could come together quickly if the Yankees decided to pursue it.
The Indians likely would not seek much in return from Byrd, who also has drawn mild interest from the Rockies. For the Yankees, Byrd would be a potential upgrade over right-hander Darrell Rasner.

Not Paul Byrd
I'd take him if he was basically free. He's better than Ponson, though not much.
Win one for The Boss.
please no. I can't stand the guy for reasons I can't quite explain.
Id rather stick with Rasner than trade for the dirty Byrd.
Ditto.

Why are we looking at scrub pitchers?

After all the talks the Red Sox have had with the Marlins and Pirates the last two days, could it be that Manny Ramirez winds up starting in left field for the Red Sox Friday night?
The latest news from ESPN.com's Peter Gammons: "A source close to the three-way negotiations involving Manny Ramirez says the deal is close to dead. Florida has reportedly asked Boston for a cash outlay beyond the $7 million to cover Ramirez's contract, in addition to two prospects. That essentially would add up to the Red Sox trading Ramirez, $9 million and two prospects for Jason Bay."
The Pirates could deal Bay somewhere else -- Tampa Bay has been mentioned and Jayson Stark of ESPN.com is now citing the Blue Jays -- or just hang on to him.
Keep in mind that in recent years, the Red Sox have never been shy about pulling away from blockbuster deals when the price simply became too much. Most dramatically, the Sox had a Ramirez for Alex Rodriguez mega-swap lined up in December, 2003, and pulled out of that when their proposed restructuring of A-Rod's contract was turned down by the Players Association. More recently, Theo Epstein didn't trade for Johan Santana this winter because the asking price of talented young players was simply too much.
Manny Ramirez has been traded to the Dodgers in a three-team blockbuster, pending the approval of the commissioner's office, according to a source with knowledge of the deal.
Pirates outfielder Jason Bay is headed to the Red Sox. The Pirates will receive Andy LaRoche and right-hander Bryan Morris from the Dodgers and outfielder Damien Moss and releiver Craig Hansen from the Red Sox.
The Red Sox will pay all of the approximately $7 million remaining on Ramirez's contract.
wow...jason bay is no manny ramirez.
Carlos Beltran wanted to play CF for the Yankees, not the mets. The Yankees said no. Mark Teixeira wanted to play 1B for the Yankees, not the sux. The Yankees said yes!
why are the dodgers giving up laroche, he's good right?
