Odds & Ends: Embree, Rizzo, Votto, Rollins, Huffman

By Tim Dierkes | April 8, 2010 at 9:58pm CDT

Links for Thursday…

  • If you're viewing MLBTR on your cell phone, try mlbtraderumors.mobi!
  • Alan Embree expects to exercise the opt out clause in his contract if he's not added to the Red Sox's big league roster by April 15th, reports WEEI.com's Ethan Landy.
  • MASNSports.com about how a Major League trade comes together. Check it out, very interesting stuff. 
  • C. Trent Rosecrans of CNATI.com learned from Reds GM Walt Jocketty last night that the team has yet to have contract extension discussions with first baseman Joey Votto.  Yesterday we speculated on what it might take to lock Votto up long-term.
  • An interesting Rays-centric back-and-forth continues, with Jeff Passan filing a reubttal on Jonah Keri's site.
  • MLB.com's Adam McCalvy looks at the recent instances of teams signing home-grown pitchers to extensions.
  • Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins was on the Dan Patrick Show talking about the surprise he and Jayson Werth felt when Cliff Lee was dealt.  Rollins said the Yankees would've kept Lee and Roy Halladay and made a run with the pair of aces.
  • Padres exec Paul DePodesta explains that while it was painful to lose Chad Huffman to a waiver claim, there's a silver lining in the organization's improved depth.
  • Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe has the details on Josh Beckett's new contract with the Red Sox, which totals $68,520,403.
  • Many lesser-known players have been released in recent days; Baseball America's Matt Eddy has the details.

    Jimmy Rollins needs to keep in mind he does not play for the Yankees.

    Note to J-Roll, the Phils ain’t the Yanks. And he should be proud of it.

      Yeah, like how proud he was about his prediction on the World Series last October.
      You are right. The Phils ARE NOT the Yanks. Don’t forget it!
      #28 on the horizon.

    It’s refreshing to hear a player speak openly rather than give a canned response.

    Here is to hoping the Sox forget all about a 2nd lefty since the NYY are gone for a little while and somebody with more talent than either Schoenweiss, or Embree, like maybe Joe Nelson will get the 1st call.
