Odds & Ends: Fields, Contracts, Suppan, Silva

By Luke Adams 2 | April 25, 2010 at 2:23pm CDT

Links for Sunday….

  • Injuries have really soured the Royals' half of the Mark Teahen trade so far. Both Chris Getz and Josh Fields are on the disabled list, and the Associated Press reported today that Fields will undergo hip surgery that will likely end his season.
  • Ethan Trex has an interesting article up on CNN.com that highlights some unusual contractual clauses over the years, including George Brett becoming partial owner of a Memphis apartment complex back in 1984 and Charlie Kerfeld receiving 37 boxes of orange Jell-O in 1987. Seriously.
  • It looks like a trend is developing in the NL Central. A few days after the Cubs moved Carlos Zambrano to the bullpen, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports that the Brewers will do the same thing with Jeff Suppan and his $12.5MM salary. As for Zambrano, the Cubs won't use him on back-to-back days for now, tweets MLB.com's Carrie Muskat.
  • Joel Sherman of the New York Post tries to play matchmaker and work out a Carlos Silva–George Sherrill/Jamey Carroll trade between the Cubs and Dodgers. I'm not sure such a swap necessarily makes sense for either team, given the Cubs' lefty surplus and Silva's price tag next year.
  • Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal writes that Victor Martinez is working overtime to improve his throwing, presumably hoping to silence the constant rumblings about the Red Sox shopping for a catcher.
  • The latest mailbag from Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer includes a Carlos Santana update and an assessment of the Indians' free agent prospects following the 2010 season.

    I haven’t heard any rumblings about the Red Sox shopping for a catcher. If anything they should be shopping for relief help.

    Are you kidding me sherman? Yesterday it was just Sherrill for Silva straight up. You New York writers.. Im suprised you even know who the Dodgers are. First off, the Dodgers arent trading a pitcher like Sherrill, a valuable and servicable reliever (do you remember that he was a closer for baltimore?) for an old washed up retread that nobody wants? And now you put Carroll in there too? That contract they gave Carroll is what 3 months old? I bet the ink hasnt dried yet. If the Dodgers were “penny-pinching” they wouldnt have signed him to that deal in the first place. So you want us to give up our super ute guy, and our second best reliever, that would be the closer on most teams, for an overpaid, unwanted retread? Funny stuff. Its amazing to me that people like you have a job in an economy like this. .

    That Bobby Bonilla contract is madness! Scott Boras has nothing on that guy’s agent.
