Todd Williams Rumors

Jorge Sosa For Todd Williams?

Kevin Davidoff of Newsday has rumor of a small trade that has been discussed. In March, the Mets and Orioles discussed swapping Jorge Sosa for Todd Williams. However, there's been nothing going on recently. The Mets picked up Sosa this winter for $1.25MM to add some pitching depth. I imagine more teams will start calling about the 29 year-old Sosa, noticing he's thrown 13 scoreless innings in Triple A. Williams is earning $775K from the O's.

Rosenthal agrees with most that Carlos Zambrano will sign with the Cubs by Opening Day. However, a couple of other big-name free-agent starters to be probably will hit the market. Jason Jennings and Jake..   Continue Reading

Mets Interested In Todd Williams

Excitement! The Mets have "mild interest" in 36 year-old Orioles reliever Todd Williams. Williams has been around the block - the Orioles are his ninth organization. He doesn't miss bats at all, but he can come in and get you a groundball in a pinch. He's making $775K, and would likely see a diminshed role in 2007 with all the relievers the O's imported. The Mets' need was brought about by the discovery that Duaner Sanchez will likely miss most of the season. The bullpen was supposed to be a strength; the expectation was that it could compensate if the..   Continue Reading
