Odds and Ends: Aurilia, Sweeney, Nady

I would hope the Reds have at least explored trading for Nady. If Jerry Hariston Jr. is their starting LF next year, It's going to be a joke.

They have potential to turn some heads with all of their youth. Nady could be a good fit in Cincinnati.

Yankees do not trade Nady. Trade Swisher and someone else.

Is is really a surprise that Tex picked the Yankees over the Sox? One is the winningist franchise in pro sports with the richest tradition...13 straight playoffs till last year...been in 6 of the last 13 World Series winning 4 of them...moving into a new zillion dollar ballpark...who just signed two of the best free-agent pitchers...and is two hours closer to his home. The other has one two titles in 90 years. Nuff said.

As for Nady to the Reds...would Harang be in that convo? Not straight up...but the as part of a deal? Reds seem to have some good young pitching and Harang is a quality pitcher who had a rough year and makes a ton of cash. Never know.

jjyankessfan2, no way the Reds would trade Harang to the Yanks for Nady and a package. I know that package wouldn't come with very much upside. The Yanks wouldn't trade much more with Nady IMO. Harang is a good value for the Reds with the way that some teams are over paying for Pitching.

You can have Jason Johnson too!! LOL!! Just kidding. :)

2 in the last 90 has nothing to do with it. if you honestly think that nowadays free agents are saying "oh they have only won twice in the last 90 years so i don't have a chance to get a ring there" you are a fool. it's more like "oh they've won twice in the past 5 years so they clearly are put in a position to win." some people would prefer to play for the yankees and some would prefer to play for the red sox. congrats for being another ignorant tool.

Seriously Harrang as part of a Nady trade is nuts. Harrang did have a bad year last year considering is previous work for the Reds but NO! sorry I dont even consider getting rid of Harrang. I look for him to have a big comeback year unless the Reds can't score more than 3 runs a game.

I also think Thompson is a little weak for Nady. Probably would have to be one of the pitchers above Thompson to get something going on this deal. Forget Cueto and Volquez they are not going anywhere. and Honestly I hope to god that they Keep Arroyo I like him on the team.

Oh Sweeney, you played what, maybe 300 games in a 6 year period? Why don't you give some of that money back so they Royals can sign Orlando Hudson, and we will let you sit on the bench and be a "motivational leader." You made about 60 Mil a year doing so, so why don't you do it for being the "good guy" the organization made you out to be. Makes me laugh.

Why are they shopping Nady ? Are they going to sign Manny or resign Abreu. Nady was great for the Yanks. I dont like their thinking on this. Trade Matsui, Melky, but not Nady

"The Giants and Rich Aurilia maintain mutual interest, though the Giants want to address the offense first."---HAHA! Tim, made me laugh hysterically! I miss the days where Aurilia was considered part of the offense

phillips for nady?

haha...i hope you aren't serious. If you want phillips you had better be throwing cano into the deal or WJ will hang up the phone.

rich aurilia is a waste of money we dont need anymore old veterans because we need to clear payroll space inorder to acquire manny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
