  • Rumor: Cody Ross Rumblings

    If this is true, I'll shoot myself:

    Well you can say that I was in the right place at the right time.

    Strolling down past Yankee Stadium on Sunday afternoon I happen to stop into a nice little cafe and sat down to have a coffee. The person sitting behind me gets a phone call. When he picks it up, he says "Hi Michael how you doing?"

    What happens next in this conversation I wrote on a piece of napkin.

    I was led to believe that the "Michael" is no one other than Florida Marlins GM Michael Hill, and the man sitting behind me is no one other than New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman.

    The conversation was about a possible trade that the Yankees might be pulling off within the next 24 hrs.

    The trade involved the Yankees sendng Colin Curtis and Anthony Claggett to the Marlins for outfielder Cody Ross.

    Anthony Claggett has been very good in the minors, posting a 2.95 era in 30 appearances.

    Collin Curtis has 12 home runs, 70 RBI's and 60 walks in AA and AAA combined this year. Also has stolen 14 bags while being caught once.

    Cody Ross has 14 HR's and 53 RBI's with the Marlins thus far. Ross is an excellent defender and has some pop.

    If you see this trade go down dont forget where you heard it first.

      If we aren't going for it, you do that trade.

            But we've already said we're buyers. Unless this is a precursor to another deal that would involve those prospects, I can't see this rumor being legitimate.

            Yeah; it seems VERY iffy to me.

              He was led to believe one guy was Michael Hill and he knew the other guy was Brian Cashman

                Michael Hill has say in what we do? That comes as a shock to me.

                  I'm assuming sometimes they pass him a piece of paper with what he is allowed to say and let him use the phone during this exciting time of the year. Perhaps Beinfest was already on the other line

                      Cody Ross Rumblings

                      # Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald says the Red Sox are looking for a right-handed hitting fourth outfielder who plays good defense. He mentions Willie Bloomquist and Cody Ross as possible fits.
                      # The Marlins are looking to make moves, but it's unclear where they'd want to upgrade, according to Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald. They could add a starter, a reliever or a position player, but don't expect them to trade prospects Logan Morrison and Mike Stanton. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says the Fish "are split on whether to acquire a hitter or starting pitcher."

                        Lets hope Rosenthal is right because a reliever does nothing for this team

                          Why did we trade Hammer? And im not saying this because of what he did last night. His OPS has been in the .900's all year and is now over 1.000....

                            Because he was chronically injured and seemed to lose all of his power after coming back last year.

                              WHY is Cody being considered a possible fit ANYWHERE? This is ridiculous.
