« Astros Claim Chris Coste | Main | Pedro Martinez Rumors: Friday »
Odds And Ends: Chapman, Betancourt, Masset
Some links in anticipation of the weekend...
- According to Baseball America, there's no evidence to suggest that Aroldis Chapman is 26 years old and allegations that he's any older than 21 don't pass the logic test.
- ESPN.com's Jayson Stark has the oddest anecdotes and funniest quotes from the first half of the season.
- The AP (via ESPN) reports that this year's All Stars will receive a combined $2.3MM in bonuses for making the team, led by Roy Halladay's $125k. I wonder who pays if Halladay's dealt before Tuesday...
- As Bradford Doolittle of the Kansas City Star shows, Yuniesky Betancourt does not have much of a glove or bat, so it's puzzling that the Royals wanted him.
- MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports that the Reds aren't trading Nick Masset away, especially when his $418k salary makes him so affordable.

Would MLB be out of line to require Chapman go through the same process that the Sano kid is in an attempt to validate his age?
Or, because he is a free agent, would this only be done if the player agrees?

If I'm the Reds I don't trade Nick Masset either unless its for a great player. Masset has been said to be a possible closer for the Reds after Coco Cordero is gone.

So why didn't anyone catch this Chapman is 26 age error on March 13? Someone had to have seen that and said "this isn't right."
