I would like to share with you the official NY Baseball Digest Deadline Winners and Losers: Winners: Los Angeles Angels – Acquiring Mark Teixeira without doing major damage to their farm system or major league club has to be the ultimate win to date. Casey Kotchman is a solid 1b (.283, 12, 54), but not [...]

The deadline has come and gone and no significant moves were made by the Mets. The Yanks failed to acquire the starting pitcher they need. Can’t blame either team for passing on the exorbitant prices that were being asked for players like Ibanez, Washburn, and Jason Bay. Howard Megdal of the NY Observer and I [...]

By Joey DeMayo Speaking to my source, it seems the asking price for the top flight relievers like JJ Putz is crazy. Minaya reportedly may be working on a deal to bring Luis Ayala to the Mets . Stay tuned

By: Joey DeMayo Although it is a little past mid-day, thought I’d give an update. Mets have essentially told Seattle in regards to Raul Ibanez: let us know if the price comes down. It doesn’t appear that is happening. Omar Minaya appears to have no interest in the other outfielders available. The bullpen is now [...]

The Marlins have acquired Arthur Rhodes from the Mariners for Gaby Hernandez . The Mets were known to be interested in Rhodes, and Hernandez was the former Met prospect traded to Florida for Paul Lo Duca

By: Joey DeMayo Speaking to a source, the Mets remain uninterested in Adam Dunn . It appears though, that Tampa Bay has backed off of Jason Bay , and have decided to make a run at Dunn before the 4 PM deadline. No word on pieces that may go back, but a source tells me, “Tampa [...]

When people say July 31st is a crazy day, that is an understatement . Latest I got is the Mets have set their focus as far as bullpen arms go on either Seattle’s JJ Putz or San Diego’s Cla Meredith . No update as of now on the Raul Ibanez situation, I presume price hasn’t [...]

By: Joey DeMayo Spoke to my source, and it appears the Manny Ramirez three team trade is looking less and less likely to go down. The Pirates are insisting that outfield prospect Mike Stanton be involved, but the Marlins are reportedly “not trading him, especially in this kind of deal”. Stay tuned.

By: Joey DeMayo • According to a source, the Manny Ramirez -to-Florida in a three team trade is likely to go down, though it will likely take until close to the 4 PM deadline. Ramirez will end up in Florida, Jason Bay and John Grabow will end up in Boston, while Pittsburgh will get Jeremy Hermida [...]

In case you missed it earlier today we had a “high energy” show with lots of good baseball talk and interaction from callers and the chat room. Jay Sorgan, former Radio Host, talked about baseball in South Florida and his thoughts on the Marlins and Rays. Joey DeMayo and I analyzed the Pudge Rodriguez deal [...]

The guys at Baseball Think Factory usually love my ideas about as much as Democrats enjoy a George Bush State of the Union, but I think the debate on my Everett article was fair and logical. You can check out the reaction at BBTF HERE. Now in case you don’t remember the stir I caused [...]

By: Joey DeMayo According to a ESPN, the New York Yankees have acquired Ivan Rodriguez from the Detroit Tigers. Reportedly reliever Kyle Farnsworth will be headed to Detroit. Also according to a league source, the Mets have decided to pass on Raul Ibanez due to the price of Jon Niese and another prospect. If the [...]

I just found out from my good buddy Tom Starita that Rob Neyer mentioned me in his blog today. Its an ESPN Insider access only, but I figured I would give you a tidbit of what Rob had to say about my piece below. If you have Insider you can access the direct link HERE [...]

By: Joey DeMayo According to a league source, the Jarrod Washburn -to-the Yankees trade discussions have “practically died”. There is always the small chance it is rekindled, but Seattle has not budged from it’s Brett Gardner type prospect and Yankees eat all the money coming to Washburn. Brian Cashman is not willing to do this. [...]
