It seems that Guillermo Mota and the Mets have agreed to a 2 year deal, worth $5 mil.
Mota is suspended the first 50 games of 2007 after violating MLB drug policy.
...with the way he pitched at the end, i can see why the mets are signing this guy even with the suspension.
...that makes two Mets who have violatied (Yasuruku Iriki)
...i really do like this deal though. and for the way the market has been lately, this is dirt cheap...

Mets close to trade..
The Mets are close to trading for Royals relief pitcher Ambiorix Burgos.
The Royals are looking to get a pitching prospect in return.
...well, i can't say that name at all...
...im assuming they want Bannister, Maine, or Pelfrey. i'm very scared to give up any of them, as they all look way too promising. i would love to keep them all, along with Perez and have a really solid rotation...

Welcome to insanity.
The Winter Meetings have begun.
This means rumors will be flying, news flashes everywhere, and the most rediculous ideas will come from people you once thought were sane.
I'll try to keep you up to date on the ones that seem credible and relevant to our team.
If any news breaks...and I am sleeping or something...

Bannister Available?
MLB Trade Rumors ponders if Brian Bannister may be dealt to get a good reliever after Chad Bradford signed a 3 year, $10.25 mil. deal with the O's.
...hmm, i pretty much forgot about him after his looooong lasting hamstring injury. he pitched fairly well, and i think he could be pretty good...so be careful trading him...i don't want this to bite us in the butt in a few years...

Could the '86 Mets happen now?
Joe Sports Fan has put together a very cool article seeing if the 1986 Mets team could be put together now with their adjusted salaries.
The '86 team had a payroll of about $12.5 mil.
The team would now cost an estimated $121 mil.
"What does all of that mean? Even with all of the ridiculous contracts being tossed around throughout the league, if you took one of the great teams of the past twenty years and paid them in today�s baseball money, they�d still be a cool $80 million cheaper than the Yankees.
Isn�t baseball great?
...hahahaha. great article. well done. great line at the end there...

Bye-Bye Bradford!
OH NO!
say it 'aint so Omar!
Chad Bradford has agreed to a 3 year, $10.5mil. with the Orioles.
...ohhhh man. this was the main guy i wanted back from the bullpen this year....
...as matt cerrone said, "this means we can't use Aaron Heilman as a trading chip."...
...which i don't especially hate, because i think he can be good out of the pen, as long as he doesnt whine about starting...
...man the bullpen market is HOT this year...
