Royals DFA'd Joe Blanton earlier this week to make room for Cueto. I really wanted the Jays to get him but nope, he's gone to the Pirates just now for cash considerations.

Argh them Pirates

[TilsonBritoFan]

Joe Blanton? Really? Pukeface

[Brownie19]

 

Did that happen yesterday? That little puke did that on purpose so he could go "viral" because he thinks that's cool. Makes me wanna barf.

Aww... poor guy.

 

I found that quite sad

 

Did he actually get traded in the end?

No there was no trade. Rumour is the Mets turned it down after reviewing the medical file on Gomez.

Yes, apparently the Mets were scared off by the hip issue. But the Mets also embarassed themselves by leaving Flores out there when it was said he was traded..

Brandon Moss to the Cards for SP prospect

[John_Havok]

Cardinals just signed a 1 billion dollar/15 year TV deal which will start them at 55 million dollars per season that will increase as the deal goes on, plus a minority stake in the network with the broadcast rights.

 

Better give them more competitive balance picks, they're clearly hard up for revenue and won't be able to compete on a fair playing field with the larger spending teams.

Pineda scratched from tonight's start

Was being reported earlier as elbow issues. Might be bad. Nova also reported to be hurting.

Yankees have been crazy lucky with health this year so far

Especially given the age of their roster. Would it really be that surprising to see Arod, Beltran and Tex go down at some point?

[Orgfiller]

Drew Storen is throwing some serious filth against the Marlins.

Hey Nats! We'll let him close if you flip him to us.

[LTR]

The Padres and Mets game is literally going into a rain delay with 2 strikes left in the game.

[LTR]

Papelbon closes it out for Nats (1-0)... ***91 mph heaters***

[G-Snarls]

I hate to rejoice in an injury but..... f*** YES

[MunenoriKawasakiMVP]

Daniel Nava Dfad by Boston

I just suffered the same injury looking at our roster.

[LTR]

Rain delay was worth it. Norris (5 for 5 with a granny) singles, Upton homers, Padres up but another rain delay.. funny game!

[jaysblue]

Yankees acquired Dustin Ackely...

Below replacement level and hitting 77 wRC+. Meh?

2 biggest positions of need for the Jays tho.

Basically the Mariners dumping him. And surprisingly, they're getting a nice return in Ramon Flores and Jose A. Ramirez.. It's also a sign that the team's fed up with their other 2B options in Drew/Ryan/Pirela/Petit(who was DFAd)/Refsnyder/Figueroa. Questionable deal..

Drew is having one of the weirdest seasons ever. Doesn't he like have 13 HR's? Likely can reach 20 though his other overall numbers are awful lol.

[Governator]

Look at our line up and it doesn't even EE, Travis or Smoak in it.

Maybe to play infield.
