Why does it matter if Uggla is on the books already? The concept of "sunk cost" needs to be understood by a lot more people it seems.

Uggla is going to be paid $13M next year whether he is sitting on the bench, sitting in AAA, or in the lineup hitting .185 and striking out every other AB. He is a sunk cost, so move on and get someone in here to provide production at 2B.

2B is broken, and it doesn't matter if Uggla makes $1M or $100M...it needs to be fixed.

And you also have to understand that GM's get fired too, and signing Infante as a Free Agent after trading him for Uggla, after signing Uggla in a massive overpay makes you look like a complete idiot, rather than just an idiot.

D-Backs announce they've traded third base prospect Matt Davidson for closer Addison Reed.
 
Good god. Did you guys see the deal the Rox signed with Boone Logan? $16.5m over three years. $4.75, 5.5, 6.25.

No wonder Frank has sticker shock. His peers are running around like Slim Thug in a strip joint, making it rain.

$16.5m. $5.5m/yr. Boone Logan.

And people think 8.5 for Floyd, if he pitches really well, is a lot?

So a pre arb closer with 40 saves this past year nets you a prospect in trade.

Still think Kimbrel is destined for 15-20M???????
 
Busy day for baseball transactions today.

Drew Stubbs is heading to Colorado, Ibanez signed with the Angels, and San Diego signed Joaquin Benoit.

Word is Choo turned down a 7/140 deal from the Yankees right before they went ahead and signed Beltran. Texas seems to have the most interest, but I can't see a deal for more than 5 years.

No wonder we haven't inked EOF yet.
 
Choo is a perfect fit in Texas, considering what Ellsbury got...this is a steal.

SAV brings up a good point, with the new TV money and what FA's are getting, is there any chance we keep any of Freeman, Heyward, Upton, Minor, Kim...? Which is why we should be trying to lock them up to contracts, now, that take them past year 2 or 3 of when they should hit the market.
