Yo, Mick......

You got Sheffield; we got 3 young pitching prospects.

Sounds good to me.

It's not a trade that I would make, if I were the Tiger's GM.

Let's see an overpriced, overage, injury-prone hitter or three young arms...hmmm

Are they trying to help the Yankees? Do they feel sorry for them after this past season?

Must be a very good trade, cuz Dombrowski made it. Lotsa good, young arms on the roster already, and they all wanna be one of the five starters.
Sheff is a better DH than Dmitri Young. and the Tigers have been looking for one all summer.
Mr. Illich just has to sell a few more pizzas.

The BoSox pay $51 mil just to negotiate with the Japanese pitcher. To sign him, they're probably looking at least at about $12 mil a year for about 4 years, just to keep Boras happy. Iow, you're looking at paying out around $100mil for 4 years, or about $25mil a year. All that for for a guy that's never pitched an inning in the Bigs. That's A-Rod money, and we all know how that turned out. The voice of fiscal responsibility, the Yankees, bid about $20mil less btw.

And in other news, the Cubbies re-signed Kerry Wood and immediately placed him on the 365-day DL.
