Winter Meetings Day Two Open Thread Pt. 2

by Tommy Rancel on Dec 9, 2008 4:53 PM EST Comment 25 comments

Time for the night cap of the day 2 thread or the mid-afternoon cap depending on where you are.

What we know as of now:

Milton Bradley likes Pizza and French Onion soup. He has also met with the Cubs as well as the Rays.
Depending on who you speak to, the Rays are interested in re-acquiring Delmon Young in a three way deal involving the Twins and Rockies. Others say the Rays haven't even talked to the Twins or Rockies about a deal. Somebody is lying here.
Jason Giambi may be returning to the A's and the Rays have shown "interest" in Garrett Anderson.
The Rays and Cardinals have had discussions. Rick Ankiel or Ryan Ludwick?
The team has no free agent meetings today.
K-Rod to the Mets

Reaction to all this news:

Young’s former team, the Rays, has reportedly been talking to the Twins about a deal that would bring the outfielder back to St. Petersburg, according to ESPN’s Jayson Stark.

But a source close to the situation indicated Tuesday afternoon that it’s highly unlikely such a trade would occur.

Delmon is some bitch we dated 2 years ago

why go back?

hit that and quit that son. move on.

makes no sense so I’m believing the side that says we havent talked to the Rox/Twins yet, and hopefully won’t at all. unless they wanna give us Morneau for Bartlett and Sonny

Giambi may not be off the market

Newsday

“It’s slow out there,” Giambi said. “Nothing’s getting done yet.”

He was off the market??

I didn’t even hear he was signed, Perrotto was the only person rumbling that.

Beane said before that Giambi wasn’t high on his priorities.

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

He better not wear the Yankee hat in our dugout, that's all I'm saying.

by joeybw on Dec 9, 2008 7:49 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Gomes or someone else will beat him up if he does.

Dude. This.

by Blicks on Dec 9, 2008 7:51 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

He can just pretend he plays RF regularly…..can’t he?

by joeybw on Dec 9, 2008 7:52 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

No.

Dude. This.

Ok, at least now I am prepared to be teased.

The Rays have reportedly met with free agent Jason Giambi.
The Rays are one of the few contenders with the ability to take on a full-time DH, and Giambi could provide quite an upgrade over the decent numbers Cliff Floyd game them last season. They’d probably rather have Milton Bradley, but Giambi would likely come cheaper.
