Yovani Gallardo Rumors

Odds and Ends: Resop, Myers, Gallardo, Fuentes

Today's link collection: Joel Sherman says the Mets would be willing to eat some money on a contract to reduce the prospect price for a corner outfielder. He suggests names like Xavier Nady, Raul Ibanez, Randy Winn, and Adam Dunn. The salary-eating strategy would probably only help with Winn. The Hanshin Tigers purchased reliever Chris Resop's contract from the Braves. Ricky Bottalico says Brett Myers wants to be traded, but Myers and the Phillies denied it. It would be cool to see Yovani Gallardo return this year, if only to see him line up with CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets...   Continue Reading

Odds And Ends: Neshek, Gallardo, Casanova, Henn, Haynes

Couple of injuries, couple of designations, and a waiver claim. Twins reliever Pat Neshek has an acute partial tear of the UCL. Yes, that's the Tommy John ligament.

They'll keep an eye on the trade market. Mike Hampton could retire, but it's highly unlikely that he'll abandon the rest of his '08 salary. Nippon Professional Baseball might shorten the tenure needed for free agency, except...   Continue Reading

Gallardo Injury May Change Brewers' Plans

When the Brewers' rotation was eight-deep, trading one starter before Opening Day seemed like a given. MLBTR readers believed Chris Capuano to be the most likely to go. However, young ace Yovani Gallardo tore cartilage in his knee and is set to miss four weeks. This may stop Brewers GM Doug Melvin from making a preseason move. The old adage holds true; you can never have too much pitching. Gallardo, 21, pitched 110 innings with a 3.67 ERA as a rookie. His ERA goes down to 2.84 if you take out an 11 earned run thrashing at Coors Field in...   Continue Reading
