Great another yankee in our rotation.

The Brave resigned John Smoltz to a 2 year deal. Braves finally might go farther in the postseason.

The A's traded Tim hudson to atlanta for Dan meyer,Juan Cruz and Charles thomson.

Who say's halmama has to start. The red sox will sign lima or perez.

We'll miss you pedro. Look on the bright side guys, the mets hate the yankees almost more than us so he'll still be a yankee hater.

I remember when lilly pitched a relly gret game v.s the sox last year against pedro. It was like a 2hitter or somethin like that. Thats when I got respect for that guy.

Thats the 2nd a.j the red sox r going after.

Was he the ace for the team in 02?

Was it a player?

I guess your right, but there already doing this too pavano. B.T.W: Pedro hasn't officially signed with the mets. That Kim guy on espnews says he w\will only sign there if he wasn't bluffing this whole time. So theres still hope.

Y are sox fans always boooing him?

Ok they trash pedro, but as soon as he sign's with the mets, were going to do the same thing.

Aneheim-The Marlins had meetings with six teams, batting around possible trade scenarios. According to numerous league sources, the Marlins are exploring interest in power pitcher A.J. Burnett, who is fifth-year arbitration-eligible and could file for free agency after the 2005 season. It is believed the Marlins aren't confident they will be able to sign Burnett long-term. So they are measuring interest. An American League source said Sunday the Marlins are shopping Burnett, but want high value in return. The Marlins have had at least one conversation with the Yankees regarding a possible deal involving Burnett and right-hander Javier Vazquez. At this point, the Yankees say they are not interested in making trades. Two American League sources say the Marlins have inquired about the Tigers' interest in Burnett. Florida representatives also talked with the A's about right-hander Tim Hudson, a free agent after the 2005 season. The A's are believed to be interested in a top minor league pitching prospect for Hudson, who made $5 million in 2004. Hudson is the subject of trade talks with several teams. On Saturday, Hudson was believed to be close to being dealt to the Dodgers for promising right-hander Edwin Jackson and minor-league infielder Antonio Perez. As speculation ran rampant Sunday regarding possible moves involving Burnett and Hudson, Beinfest said nothing is imminent either for Sunday night or Monday. "We're definitely looking in the market and exploring," Beinfest said. "I don't get a sense that anything is close." The Winter Meetings wrap up Monday after the Rule 5 Draft. With the 16th pick, Beinfest said the Marlins anticipate being active.

ANAHEIM -- Adding some left-handed power has been an ongoing search for the Marlins since Cliff Floyd was dealt to the Expos in 2002. One option being pursued at the Winter Meetings is free agent outfielder David Dellucci, who belted a career-best 17 home runs last season. Dellucci's agent, Gregg Clifton, said the Marlins contacted him about the 31-year-old on Sunday. "The Marlins revised their offer," Clifton said. Last season with the Rangers, Dellucci played in 107 games, had 331 at-bats and batted .242 with a career-high 61 RBIs. Marlins general manager Larry Beinfest didn't specifically comment on Dellucci on Sunday. But Beinfest noted: "Adding a left-handed bat to the club is one of our offseason objectives. We're continuing to explore that." Clifton said Dellucci is fielding serious offers from the Marlins, Rangers and Diamondbacks. The Rockies also have shown interest. "We're in a desirable situation, because we think we're going to win," Beinfest said. Barring a major free agent signing or trade, the Marlins are seeking a left-handed hitter with some power to share an outfield spot with Juan Encarnacion. In 2003, Dellucci saw action against the Marlins in the World Series. Then a backup for the Yankees, Dellucci played in a reserve role in four games, going hitless in two at-bats with a run scored. Last season, Dellucci earned $750,000. The only regulars that hit left-handed are Juan Pierre and switch-hitter Luis Castillo. A year ago, the Marlins hoped to fill the left-handed power void when they obtained Hee Seop Choi from the Cubs for Derrek Lee. But Choi was dealt to the Dodgers in July as part of the trade that sent Brad Penny and minor league pitcher Bill Murphy to Los Angeles for Paul Lo Duca, Guillermo Mota and Encarnacion. Showing interest in Dellucci was just part of a busy Sunday for Marlins' management in Anaheim.

Arizona on Monday signed catcher Kelly Stinnett to a minor league deal that includes an invitation to Spring Training.

ANAHEIM -- At the Winter Meetings, general manager Mark Shapiro had hoped to land a player who might make an immediate, long-term impact on the Guardians. Such a player eluded Shapiro, but he did apparently find one who might benefit the club in the short term: signing infielder Jose Hernandez, according to Hernandez's agent, Scott Boras. While Shapiro would not confirm a deal Monday, Boras said the contract was done. "We signed Jose Hernandez with Cleveland," Boras said, without elaborating on length or terms.

ANAHEIM -- A source close to free agent reliever Esteban Yan confirmed a published report that the right-handed flame-thrower is close to signing a two-year, $3 million deal to join the Angels bullpen.

Is that real?

Who got th best of that deal. I know podsendnik is really fast.

You know what ahhchon, you suck. Most of these guys havee come from links from BDD. This site wouldn't be as great without BDD. Most of our sources come from them. So SHUT UP.

I think he wont win 20 games as a starter, but he'll make them a much better team.

He's a sox fan and a good espn reporter. What's wrong with that?

I'll do links from now on.

Coy Koskie signed with the jays good pickup for the jays.
