Baseball Blogs Weigh In: Sano, Pedro, Sabathia, Lopez
On this date 14 years ago, Darryl Strawberry signed a one-year deal with the Yankees for $675K, four months after being released by the Giants and five years after leaving New York to sign with the Dodgers as a free agent. Interestingly, this would be the most lucrative season of his career as it marked the final year of his Dodgers contract that would pay him $5.3MM in '95. Straw was never traded, but we are a little over one month from this year's trade deadline. Let's take a look at what is being written in the Blogosphere...
- Around the Majors spoke with Kiley McDaniel of Baseball Prospectus about Miguel Sano and the international signing period.
- River Ave. Blues doesn't feel the Yankees will be able to find a spot for Pedro Martinez and doubts he could still be effective in the AL East.
- Bleacher Nation finds the Cubs' interest in Pedro Martinez "strange," noting that they have no money to spend and that the Cubs need bats, not arms.
- Jorge Says No! puts together a list of the teams that could be sellers over the next six weeks.
- MLB Notebook looks at when it may be best for teams to deal specific players, including Erik Bedard, Juan Pierre and Matt Holliday.
- Capitol Avenue Club goes back and reevaluates the C.C. Sabathia trade now that the Brewers have used the draft picks acquired for losing Sabathia as a free agent.
- Goat Riders of the Apocalypse feels that Felipe Lopez would be a "cheap and quick upgrade" for the Cubs offense.

Why would I read Capital Avenue Club when they can't even get the skipper that was fired by the Brewers right.
"The manager, a fairly good one by the name of Doug Melvin, was fired with less than 10 games remaining in the season, an unprecedented move. "

Ya, that was a pretty stupid mistake on my part. Early morning brain fart. I apologize for that. And I also mistakenly wrote that Taylor Green was part of the package when it turns out he wasn't the PTBNL after all. Anyway, fixed now.

That "Jorge Says No" link was absolutely worthless.
First of all, the author provides no inside information that would suggest that any of the teams are buyers or sellers minus what we already know, and Ken Rosenthal has already written.
Second, most of his teams were "Unsure". I could make a blog post where I say all 30 teams are "unsure" because WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN AMIRITE
Third, in general, how reputable is this blog anyhow? Hey look it's the Exciting Mustache List! Get this guy into the BBWAA!
Seriously, I love polling the blogs, but what makes this goofy thing worth being mentioned? Stick with the SBNation blogs, they tend to draw the more serious fanbases.
