Quick Hits: Rodriguez, Spilborghs, Votto, Hamels

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | April 2, 2012 at 3:40pm CDT

Matt Cain signed a five-year extension today and Joey Votto is nearing a long-term deal of his own. Here are some more links from around MLB…

  • Alex Rodriguez spoke glowingly about Miami and the Marlins' new stadium this weekend, as Steve Henson of Yahoo Sports writes. The Miami native didn't hold back, uttering phrases like "such a beautiful stadium," "I get chills," "a very special day" and "the Marlins do a phenomenal job." Henson wonders if the Marlins could trade for Rodriguez at some point before 2017, when his contract with the Yankees expires.
  • Indians outfielder Ryan Spilborghs will report to Triple-A tomorrow, unless he finds a job in the Major Leagues today, MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian tweets.
  • Dave Cameron of FanGraphs discusses the Votto contract talks, writing that "you have to wonder if the Reds got inspired to kick things into high gear after they saw what the new owners were willing to invest in Los Angeles."
  • ESPN.com's Buster Olney points out that Cole Hamels gained tremendous negotiating leverage with Matt Cain's $112.5MM extension (Twitter link).

    Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

      Especially with his injury issues now, what makes Henson think Arod will even be a serviceable player in a few years?

    “He won’t touch the topic publicly, but it seemed as if one day A-Rod wouldn’t be averse to being traded to the Marlins”

    I hope that day never comes and looks doomed anyway.. NO DH in the NL and adds 1 good reason (for me) to keep it that way.. No reason to add another prima donna to the team after Hanley Ramirez, much less the biggest ego in baseball.

      So eliminate one for the other…trade Ramirez for A-Rod and his massive publicity draw as he strives for the HR crown..have the Yanks throw in 8 million per year or so…perfect match!A-Rods demise at 3rd base is greatly exaggerated,much like Jeter’s has been for 3 years now…

    TAKE HIM MARLINS. please. I love A-Rod and all, but i’ll let Eduardo Nunez play third base this year if it means getting rid of that contract.

      Could you imagine what they could do with that free 30 mil?

        Probably sign one reliever.

          ….So that they can have a shut-down 5th inning reliever.

    Buster has been stuck on repeat regarding Hamels for the past 2 weeks.

    Talk about jumping to conclusions…

    The Marlins will trade for Rodriguez when he’s in the Austin Kearns or Aaron Rowand stage of his career.

    At the end of 2017, A-Rod will be a 42 year old corner infielder, a history of knee and hip injuries, and if he signs with Miami, will play a majority of his games without the DH role.

    Nope. Not a chance, but there could be hope that one day becomes a coach.

    Doubt Angels would be receptive to a Hamels and Brown offer for Mike Trout, especially with their payroll and their control over Trout. Phillies strength is pitching with two or three a year or two away so signing a young bat makes sense and allows Phillies the money to extend both Pence and Victorino. Trouble is, I don’t see another Trout (or Harper) out there.
