Ryan Langerhans Rumors

Mariners Not Adding Third Baseman Yet

Larry Stone sat down with Jack Zduriencik following the Ryan Langerhans acquisition today, to ask if anything else was on the horizon in the wake of Adrian Beltre's injury. Zduriencik said that for the time being, nothing is in the works: "I think you leave all your options open. Obviously, there have been a lot of talks over the last month on a lot of different scenarios. Nothing is imminent. At this moment, I don't anticipate anything, That's not to say, as you move forward, the next day creates something that wasn't there today. I think everyone is aware of...   Continue Reading

Nats Swap Langerhans For Mike Morse

Pete McElroy informs us that the Nationals have sent Ryan Langerhans to the Mariners in exchange for Mike Morse. Morse, 27, was a third-round pick by the White Sox in the 2000 draft. He was off to a fine .312/.370/.481 start in the Pacific Coast League this season, and has managed a .300 batting average in 107 career major league games. Langerhans, 29, has been posting a nice season at the Triple-A level as well, hitting .278/.371/.488 with 9 home runs on the year. Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times confirms the deal and says that Langerhans will likely be...   Continue Reading

Odds and Ends: Pitt, Manny, White Sox

Links for Friday... The Red Sox claimed pitcher Dewon Day off waivers from the White Sox, and also designated pitcher Chris Smith for assignment. Jeff Gordon of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch ponders trading Colby Rasmus to get Jake Peavy and Khalil Greene. Brad Pitt as Billy Beane in the Moneyball movie? Beane hopes to add offense this winter.

Nats Extend Wily Mo Pena, Sign Aaron Boone

UPDATE, 12-8-07 at 12:21pm: The Boston Herald's Rob Bradford says Wily Mo could've gotten more guaranteed money if he'd stuck with his previous agent, Josh Zeide. FROM 12-6-07 at 11:20am: The Nats made a couple of moves today. The rumored extension to Wily Mo Pena is done. He gets $2MM in '08, plus a mutual option for '09. The club can exercise it for $5MM, and if they decline Pena can take it for $2MM. Aaron Boone signed a one-year, $1MM deal with incentives. Boone, who turns 35 in March, hit a respectable .286/.388/.423 in part-time duty with the Marlins..   Continue Reading

A's Acquire Snelling For Langerhans

According to Baseball Digest Daily, the A's have acquired Chris Snelling from the Nationals for the just-received Ryan Langerhans. I hope neither guy bought a condo. Pretty interesting swap between Billy Beane and Jim Bowden. Snelling, aka Doyle (his middle name) in U.S.S. Mariner world, was a cult favorite for many Mariners fans. His inclusion in the Jose Vidro deal this winter was met with great disdain. Oddly, Langerhans shows up as his fifth most comparable player according to Baseball Prospectus. Langerhans is a little older, and has done a better job staying healthy. Both players can handle multiple outfield..   Continue Reading

A's Acquire Ryan Langerhans

According to Baseball Digest Daily, the A's acquired outfielder Ryan Langerhans from the Braves for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Given the recent trade for Chris Denorfia, the A's will have decent outfield depth in 2008. Perhaps this means they won't be re-signing Milton Bradley. Langerhans, 27, was off to a 2 for 41 start this year. The trade should leave Matt Diaz and Craig Wilson with some extra playing time for Atlanta. It could also make Scott Thorman a full-timer. Langerhans posted an excellent 13.7% walk rate last year, but he's still well below average..   Continue Reading
