The Clevelands are Acta-stealers. I hate them.

I actually feel okay about the Jays not going out on a limb for Aroldis. That's a lot for a guy who might not turn out to be anything more than Jose Contreras.

So, the Indians swooped in an took Manny Acta

Blair gets the word direct from the GM's mouth - no pursuing of Chapman.

Bad info from MLBTR, I guess...

Excellent use of "the player."

It makes sense because the Red Sox are a smart, well run organization. Yeah, I said it.

While I want J.P. to get his ring, I'd appreciate it if he didn't get it with the Red Sox. But you're absolutely right about that organization.

The scary thing is that the Yanks payroll has dropped this year. It was almost 10 million lower than last year...

And they'll have another 32 million off the books when Damon/Matsui/Nady are gone at the end of the year. They still have to replace Damon/Matsui, but they have a fair amount of cash to play with.

Even the Yankees might not be willing to spend that much on him given how high their payroll is currently.

Then again, if they don't win the World Series, all bets are off.

I'm not exactly clear on the legal issues with regarding the status of defectors, but Aroldis plying his trade in Canada might not be such a tough sell, hypothetically speaking. I would think it may be easier to get his girlfriend and child over to Canada than the States due to the better diplomatic relations, but that's just a guess at best. Though with the current interregnum, it may be too late to get in on the Aroldis bandwagon, unless the Beest has given the okay and has used Madame Zorba to channel the next President to get the all-clear.

Still, offering anything over 40M to an unproven pitcher seems like it may explode the pay structure of the team, though Wells' albatross of a contract pretty much does that already. Still, an alleged 102 MPH fastball would be awesome to have, just to see the Yankee's lumber-wielders flail away listlessly. Actually, just to embarrass the Yanks, I'd sign him.
