Odds and Ends: Tazawa, Boras, Cuban

Varitek 2 years/23 million? he should lose his job immediately

Phils should take a run at Tazawa. IF, he panned out, him Hamels and carrasco would make a pretty strong 3 under 25.

If I ask Boras how he hides his horns, do you think he will answer?

"what about that offer that the braves made to tazawa are they still the forntrunners?"

Braves are the only one that made an offer so far. I believe it was a four-year deal.

Heyman is way off base on Cuban.

Cuban was one of three bidders whose offer exceeded One Billion dollars for the Cubs.

That information came from Zell and the Tribune company when they cut the numbers of bidders that could continue with the process.

That means he was ABSOLUTELY one of the top 3 bidders.

And while others have not been able to meet the requirements of continuing in the bidding process as the economy has worsened, according to the Tribune company Cuban has met each requirement.

Any problems with Cuban have NOT been because of money.

They have been about, and only about, Selig and the other owners in MLB's willingness to allow Cuban to be an owner.

If the bids are still sealed, how does Heyman know what they were and if Cuban's offer was not high enough?

The fact is he doesn't.

The people Heyman mentioned were the people Major League Baseball has mentioned they would accept as owner, not who bid high enough. During the initial bidding THREE of those four did not bid high enough to meet the minimum requirements.

My question is, does Heyman even research this stuff before he writes the garbage he calls sports news?

No chat today? Booooo.
