Whiteside is a better hitter than Cabrera.

Speier now reporting that the Harden deal fell apart due to something the Red Sox didn't like showing up in Harden's physical. Too bad, but not all that surprising all things considered.

Honestly... I am relieved.
We don't need another injury prone pitcher that once had potential. I really felt like that move was the epitome of grabbing straws.

Yeah. I'm sure there would have been at least one DL trip before the playoffs for his stint here, possibly more. I was just really rooting for Lars Anderson to get a fresh start in a new organization.

I wish Domonic Brown or Hunter Pence were playing LF everyday, not Raul.

Bourn to Atlanta for four minor leaguers. Deal expected to be announced at 10.

How much longer can Ed Wade keep his job? It's like a game to him.

I can tell you just about everything that's censored. I think I've hit them all.

What he said is the truth. The Astros gave away Bourn without acquiring a single one of the Braves better prospects, it's asinine.

The Mets could cash in on Wade if they were ever in contention.

I'm 100% confident Sabean thought he was acquiring Asdrubal Cabrera, not Orlando Cabrera.

I'd rather not trade/overpay (although if Wade was smart, he could have done much better) for the likes of Hunter Pence, but every one in the league should have been all over that Bourn deal if that's all it took. He's a damn good baseball player.

Red Sox supposedly back in discussions about Garza. Doubt a deal gets done though.

The minor leaguers the braves gave up are actually pretty decent from what I've heard, they're just not elite type prospects like Teheran, Delgado, or Minor. Bourn isn't an elite player though. Good trade for both sides IMO. Odds are at least one of those players will contribute something in the bigs

Please stop with the Mets jokes when Sandy has absolutely killed this year. Ohh yeah we're 3 over .500 in the 2nd hardest division without Wright and Ike most of the year plus a pitching staff that was laughed at before the year began.
