A criminally overpaid reliever who the Orioles had no interest in and had no interest in Baltimore. Yeah, sounds like Orioles news

I'm sure there are Prince Fielder implications or something.

Sorta.... if the Brewers are buying instead of selling, we ain't getting him until free agency. Gar-Ron-Teed.

Who, other than the voices in certain members' heads, ever thought the Brewers would sell this year?

They are all in.

I'm glad that KRod won't be headed to New York or Boston. He may not close for them, but he would have filled Soriano's role.

Risky move by the Brewers, in my opinion. So who is the setup guy? K-Rod said that he would have no problem being a setup guy, then hired Boras and that tune changed significantly. Problem is, Axford has been better than him this year, and certainly last year. So do you demote who has been the better closer, or put K-Rod in the setup role and risk him being a malcontent?

Rosenthal had an interesting take this morning: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/Francisco-Rodriguez-New-York-Mets-deal-might-upset-K-Rod-071211

I have a friend with ties to the Brewers that broke this to me last night and his final thoguhts were: "now if we could only get J.J. Hardy back."
