The Orioles didn't have much of a bargaining position, one would think, being hoping for a chance to trade Ramon Hernandez and play their new star catcher. What kind of prospects are these?
Looks like the Reds are deciding they can take advantage of other teams' reluctance to spend right now...I didn't even realize their ownership had changed 3 years ago.
I agree, Freel's a nifty player, I'd rather have him... especially if they're also trading Encarnacion as has been rumored... heck, they have holes all over the place, they surely would have used him somehow.
Cincy was pretty desperate at catcher, though, and Ramon's ok.
These prospects aren't particularly interesting. John Sickels just rated the Reds' top 20 a few days ago, and neither was in there. Waring seems to have decent power potential, but strikes out a ton and is apparently a marginal defensive 3B. Turner sounds like a utility type.
I expect Juan Pierre will be next, and they will also bring in a vet SS--maybe Cesar Izturis.
Not only is it not confirmed but I just read something from Tim Brown on Yahoo mentioning that Dye to Atlanta isn't as close as is being reported by some. So that's either a typo, or Dye/Bailey is old news.
Hernandez ought to add 50 points of OPS over the 2008 catcher spot from the Reds, and losing Freel is addition by subtraction. Definitely worth the extra payroll.
Rumor is they're offering 2/$6.5 million. Yowza.
Why is that a yowza?
Good riddance, Ramon.
Taveras was pretty awful last year, but he's still fairly young (turns 27 on Christmas) and would be a nice fit as a fourth outfielder. I'm not really sorry to see him go, but Redding is nothing special either. A righthanded Glendon Rusch. Looks like a pretty meh trade all around.
Ryan Spilborghs will apparently take over in center for the Rockies.
Thanks. I think this is another reminder (I myself was talking about the implications of the "Dye/Bailey deal" yesterday) to wait for real confirmation.
When I saw this, I didn't think it made much sense for these teams--particularly for Colorado.
Later Ramon, thanks for mailing it in the last two years. I look forward to seeing you rebound during your walk year.
My fear is that the Reds will use a Hernandez/Hanigan platoon when a Hanigan/Hernandez platoon will be more savvy, but I can't get too down on them for that. I just wish they didn't give up quite so much given that the Orioles needed to make room for Wieters.

Supposedly one of the players (my guess is Redding) failed a physical.
