bizarre trade

[Metes]

Shitty stupidfuck trade for SF, in a long line of shitty stupidfuck trades they make

[Miamarlin21]

I have never liked Sanchez for some reason.

[Mainge]

He K's guys, and is titties on The Show. What's not to love?

Besides his 6/9 BB rate.

[Metes]

Yah his walks are sky high

But still, Melky is so middling, and he'll never touch last year's .800 OPS again. Plus a shitty fielder.

The Phillies are closing in on a four-year deal with Ryan Madson, according to Jim Duquette of MLB Network (Twitter links). The contract could include a fifth year vesting option for the Scott Boras client.

seems madson & phils are talking about deal for about $11M a year. (@jim_duquette said 4 yrs). so that'd be 4 for about 44M

holy crap.

[Bobbob1313]

They're looking at ~$156 million with only like 17 guys signs next year.

And that's without a SS.

Wow.

[MiamiHomer]

Heyman says the Nationals are going after Roy Oswalt.

Confirming Madson with Phils, 4 for 44 mil. Fifth-year option worth 13 mil.

Jeez

[Fritz]

Damn.

[Chewford]

Do you have confirmation from Brad Wolff on that?

[MiamiHomer]

TBrownYahoo Tim Brown
Clarifying. Those are numbers and years Madson and Phils talking. Close, not done yet.

[emkayseven]

[MiamiHomer]

Papelbon and Bell must be thrilled if this is true.
