    Wow. Cody Ross better be thanking the Phils - he's getting 6.3 mil this season. That gonna be a big chunk of their change.


    Still for the Giants? Wow, it's a miracle that franchise won a championship. :roll:

    Not really that big of a miracle! Their pitching was the best in the majors during the playoffs hands down. It's looking like this next season is going to be the year of pitching again unless you live in Boston. ;)

    True. I was referring to the $200M given to Zito & Rowand, neither of whom conributed to the title at all.

    Agreed on Zito, but Rowand did have the greatest out in Giants history throwing out Ruiz at the plate! ;)

    No idea from a financial standpoint, but my guess is that for as much as they love Peter Bourjos' defensive range and he's a one, they are not confident in his bat (.218 batting average).

    I hear you but wells? even if they are getting $10 mil a year from Toronto, he won't be worth it. Terrible terrible trade. Wells stinks.

    6:47pm: The Jays might not be sending any money to Los Angeles in the trade, tweets Shi Davidi of The Canadian Press.

    That can't bet serious. Man, what a horrible offseason for the angels.

    And the rays landed manny AND Damon for under $8 mil combined. With the money the jays saved on this and the rays the al east is going to be brutal for years.

    of course not, but his .273, 31 and 88 will be good for the Angels' lineup, especially if there are injuries. Did you see Ramirez signed with the Rays?

    I too an interesting to see how much the Jays are eating of Wells contact

    if its low, or unbelievably so, nothing, than AA pulled off an amazing trade

    this dude is smart, the moves he has made already are better than JPJ would of done

    Wells was never going to be as good as a $20 million a year player, not even the year that got him that contact was worth a $20 million a year contact

    he's also deteriorating defensively, so expect him in RF to 2 years

    but getting off the turf will help prolong his health too

    I think this is possibly the worst trade I have seen. I am speechless.

    Well considering i wasn't alive for that, yes, this is the worst trade I have seen happen. The jays are paying nothing. Vernon wells is the second highest paid player in baseball next season and there are at least 50 position players I would take over him anyday, probably more

    I saw this yesterday. I just started laughing. What a bad trade on Anaheim's part.

    It's hilarious how desperate they got this offseason. The Kazmir and Wells trades are going to turn them into the Mets.

    Awful. While the Angels are in the mood of taking bad contracts the Yanks should call and offer Arod for Weaver and Haren.

    Yeah man. They are going to be unreal. Solid farm and I believe only $17 million committed to next year, before Bautista. That's unreal. The AL East is not going to be fun for a long time.

    I could think of a horrible contract that I would love to see the phils get rid of. but everyone here knows about that already

    would you really make that trade for ARod?
