It is great that Pettite is back. Huge relief. As for Santana, i wont be upset either way. In game 3 of the playoffs Hughes proved he can pitch. If we get Santana, great, if not, i am very very very happy with Hughes and keeping Melky. Both are fantastic. I am annoyed with the twins. They know Santana's top 2 are Yankees and Redsox. Both teams have made there final offer. Other teams wont have as good as offers and Santana might not want to go there. They need to decide. I hope Yanks keep there word. 12pm, if nothing happends, Yanks walk away.

I hope the Red Sox get Santana, that would make for an amazing rotation, I would just want to see how far they could go with a rotation like that.

On another note I would like to see my damn Padres make a move and pick up Andruw Jones, or some other high profile f.a.

Finally got myself a Boston Red Sox jersey. Does anyone know if they change there style of shirt year by year or just keep the same all the time?

Just heard from ESPN that Cabrera and Willis are going to Detriot from the Marlins for six players, four of which are pitchers. Deal should be finalized by tonight, so there will be more details then.

The Marlins are Bull shit dude. I'm sick and tired of this crap. I hope the Ownerships plane crashs in the Atlantic and can't be found.

sorry, I've a fan since 93 and I have experienced too much crap by every owner.

I can understand it, they refuse to pay their players what they "deserve" in relation to other star salaries. I think there might be hope for them in the future, picking up six prospects and a couple of which dubbed "stud" prospects, I think they might have a decent team in a couple years when these prospects hit the scene.

What a ridiculous trade. The Tigers are gonna be good. Ive never understood the lots of not-so-good players for one or two all-stars. The team with the all-stars does better. It's kind of a dumb move on the Marlins part, those were basically their best players. Kinda like the Garnett trade in the NBA.

Now the Marlins are paying one player, Miguel Olivo, 2 million bucks a year, and all the rest under 600,000.

Btw, has anyone else noticed the D-Rays new logo? The old one was waaaaaaay better.

Yeah, thats what the Marlins think. I think picking up a bunch of prospects and hoping that theyll be good in the future is too much of a risk. They need to pay their all-stars what they deserve, next year marlins fans will probably not be pleased with their team.

Been hearing rumors of a Lincecum for Alex Rios trade.

Personally, I would do that. I love Lincecum, but if he's losing games 1-0 all year, it doesn't matter how good he pitches. Think the Giants need to make this deal, sign Carlos Pena and make a run for Tejada if Omar retires. Slowly, we can begin to return to prominance.

The more ridculous thing is that the stadium is hendering everything. There is a $30 million funding gap and the owner just donated $20 million to yale. WTF

Never going to happen, if you actually paid attention there is no way that deal will be made. Lincecum is way too good to trade off for Rios, not worth it in any way.

Red Sox FTW!

Yea, if they end up getting Santana they'll be damn near unbeatable, but even if they don't they still have young talent in Lester and Buchholz. Beckett, Schilling, Dice-k, I mean that is a good rotation right there.

I think they're good with Beckett but with Santana we would rule!!

They already had the 2nd best pitching rotation in the AL last year (I think Clevelands was better) and one of the best offenses. With Santana, their pitching will be unstoppable, and their offense is already amazing to begin with. Though they'll probably have to trade Ellsbury :P

As for the Yankees, lets hope they dont choke in the playoffs again...

No lets hope they do.

As for the Red Sox, I believe that they proved their rotation was better than Cleveland's in the playoffs, maybe on paper they (the Indians) were better, but they didn't prove it out on the field.
