Odds & Ends: Martin, Sweeney, Red Sox, D’Backs

By Mark Polishuk | August 5, 2010 at 9:17pm CDT

On this day in 1999, Mark McGwire hit his 500th career homer, reaching that plateau faster than any other player in history.  It was McGwire's second consecutive season with a home run milestone, as he hit homer #400 during his (then) record-breaking 1998 campaign.  But since we're not here to talk about the past, let's get to some news items…

  • Jon Weisman of ESPNLosAngeles.com looks at Russell Martin's hip injury and how it might spell the end of his tenure with the Dodgers.  Weisman also notes that L.A.'s chances of acquiring another catcher to replace Martin this season are "slim to none."
  • Mike Sweeney is excited to get his first taste of a pennant race, writes Charles Nobles of MLB.com.
  • The Red Sox dealt former Mets infielder Argenis Reyes and minor league catcher Juan Apodaca to Cleveland for future considerations, reports Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal.
  • J.P. Ricciardi discussed the waiver wire, the Jarrod Saltalamacchia deal, the Kevin Youkilis injury and other Boston-related news on WEEI's The Big Show today.  Maryalice Gill of WEEI.com has the full transcript here.
  • Diamondbacks president and CEO Derrick Hall took questions from Arizona fans in an MLB.com web chat.
  • Speaking of the Snakes, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic looks at how the D'Backs might reallocate the $2MM they had earmarked for first-round draft pick Barret Loux before he failed his physical.
  • Pittsburgh has yet to sign 10 of its top 13 picks from the June amateur draft, reports MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch.
