« Dodgers Sign Ozuna, Look To Stay Active | Main | Rosenthal's Latest: K-Rod, Maddux, Wolf, Street »
Week in Review
Another week in the history books! Here's a look back from July 13-19:
- The Phillies acquired Joe Blanton from the A's for a package of three minor leaguers: Adrian Cardenas, Josh Outman, and Matthew Spencer. Cardenas and Outman were the Phils' #2 and #4 prospects. Personally, that seems like a lot to bring a pitcher who's already struggling to a much smaller park. Blanton is a much better pitcher than he's showed this season, however.
- Francisco Rodriguez will test the free-agent market this offseason. I don't think anyone would be surprised to see K-Rod sign a record-setting contract for a reliever.
- The Yankees signed Richie Sexson.
- Francisco Liriano - or at least his agent - is not pleased that the Twins still have him in AAA. The Twins won't blame Liriano for the investigation. Upsetting a player who's that young and that talented seems like a bad idea to me...
- The Padres traded Tony Clark to the Diamondbacks for minor leaguer Evan Scribner. The D'Backs have looked like they can use all the help they can get lately.
- A.J. Burnett likes Toronto and doesn't want to be traded. My advice: Don't talk to Chicago reporters anymore, A.J.
- Tim updated the third base and second base markets.
- Erik Bedard's injury looks like it will keep him in Seattle. And if you don't believe me yet, here's another one for you.
- The Twins balked at Seattle's asking price for Adrian Beltre. And considering they asked for one of Scott Baker, Nick Blackburn, Glen Perkins, or Kevin Slowey as well as other minor league prospects, can you blame them?
