Pirates get nothing. Great.

Then again, why should this year be different from any other year?

Scott Boras mouthpiece Jon Heyman reports Boras client Michael Bourn is favored to go to the Nationals. He also reports that the Phils are the early favorites to get B.J. Upton, but I don't know if Upton is a Boras client.

but I don't know if Upton is a Boras client.

Upton is with Larry Reynolds (Reynolds Sports Management).

Upton is with Larry Reynolds (Reynolds Sports Management).

Thanks. I really didn't know and was too lazy to look it up. It was intended as a razz of Heyman, who too frequently serves as a shill for that shill Boras.

That one's been circulating amongst Philly media and bloggers for a few months now. We'll see.

The Dodgers are, of course, in on every single rumor involving every single player who has ever played the game in any capacity.


- They're rumored to be big time suitors for Anibal Sanchez, but....

- They're also rumored to be the team that put in the winning bid for Korean left hander Hyun-Jin Ryu (for well over $25M).

- Sounds like they've cooled on Greinke.

- But they're rumored to be in on Torii Hunter (wtf?). If that's the case, I suppose Ethier is getting moved.

- They're also in on Kevin Youkilis. This would mean Hanley to short and Cruz as a super-utility guy.

- They're out (shocker!) on Ryan Dempster.




Edit: That they are the winning bidder for Ryu is now confirmed. He's gotten David Wells comparisons --- fat lefty with four above average pitches.

They could also bring back Kuroda, but the Yankees are the favourites to resign him.

Wonderboy to the Mariners(?!?)
