Solid punch with him and Dunn hitting back to back. Their pen has taken a hit though, gonna need to work on that. This has actually been a really good winter meeting, it's getting me excited for baseball again!

Who else is surprised the Nats of all teams are spending money? First Werth and his mega deal (good move I think) and rumors floating around they offered Lee an even bigger contract than the Yankees!
[Reply]

Nats gave Werth a heck of a deal IMO. They are after Lee now? Yeah I am surprised.
[Reply]

They sure did. I think it was a big win for them, they over payed for sure, but it shows that they are serious about spending some money and improving their club. Reminds me a little of what Dombroski did with the tigers in 05-06, signing some big free agents, building some talent in the minors, and getting out of the basement. They probably won't get Lee, but the fact that they are trying is a good sign for Nats fans.

Nothing too major yesterday or today. Pena to the Cubs (with that amazing .196 BA lol), Frenchy to the Royals, Putz to the D-Backs, Olsen, Carrera, and Diaz to the Bucs.

I hope the Sox can build the bullpen this offseason too. That's an area where they need help. The starting 5 should be great, if healthy.

Red Sox get Crawford.

Ugh, that sucks.
[Reply]

Only for the occupants of the Deathstar :-)

Well, if we do land Lee everything will even out. Offenses will be about the same between the two teams, but Lee would give NY an advantage in the starting rotation for sure :-)
[Reply]

Maybe, if he and Sabathia can pitch every game :-)
[Reply]

These big mega-deals are pissing me off. How's a small market team supposed to compete anymore if they can only afford one or two big time players?:-)
[Reply]

Red Sox are looking good.
[Reply]

I think the White ones are looking better:-)
[Reply]

Hughes is money and maybe Pettite will come back. Then we would only need one more starter :-)
[Reply]

Well, looks like the Phillies resigned Cliff Lee. I'm surprised, and boy did the Phillies just get a whole lot better. Halladay, Lee, Oswalt, Hamels, and Blanton? Ouch!
[Reply]

They got him pretty cheap also. 5 years $100M.
[Reply]

They sure did. I'm shocked as hell to be honest. Hope the Yankees have some contingency plans, cause if Andy retires we are really in trouble pitching wise.
[Reply]

It sounds like they are going to put it into the bullpen now. They are concerned with Greinke and his ability to handle New York so they probably won't go that direction. Now they really need Pettitte to play 1 more year.
[Reply]

Greinke is a problem with that anxiety disorder. During the winter meetings Cashman said he had some surprising things in the works, here's hoping it wasn't all BS.
