If it is with utter shock, then don't be surprised that the Red Sox have decided to let potential Hall of Famer John Smoltz go. Red Sox GM Theo Epstein personally flew to New York to break the news to him. I would call it a career.
The A's also decided to part ways with Jason Giambi. Being on the DL and having the lowest batting average (.198) in the majors didn't help. However, he still might be able to help a club in the middle of a pennant race. But, it won't be the Yankees.
Until then, see ya at the park!
The Mets were to be the team this year, but it is not going as planned. What the Mets need to do is start fresh with a new GM and manager. Bobby Valentine, I heard, is available.
Until then, see ya at the park!
The Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies came out as the big winners getting catcher Victor Martinez and pitcher Cliff Lee respectively.
The Yankees only traded for Jerry Hairston Jr., for versatility while the Mets stood idle and didn't make any moves. One would think after the Mets train-wrecked press conference that they would make some trades to put the team back in contention?
Highly talked about Jarrod Washburn went to the Detroit Tigers, while the Jays most prized possession, Roy Halladay, didn't go anywhere. A lot of baseball executives said Halladay's asking price was too high.
Until then, see ya at the park!
