      Papelbon to the Phils. $50 million over 4 years... I think they are trying to be the NL version of the Yankees (if they weren't already).
      They definitely earned that reputation last year. But wow.

          Well, one could see last year as "going all in". But it seemed that losing in the NLDS caused the Phils to think of perpetually going all in (a la Yankees and Red Sox).

          As for the Marlins - I think they realize they likely won't get all (or even any) of the 3. It's more, IMO, a PR move to show that the bank is open in Miami.

            • Well isn't this interesting?

              The St. Louis Cardinals are replacing a manager who's third on the career victory list with a man who'll be writing his first lineup card on opening day.


              Mike Matheny is the Cardinals new manager. Going for LaRussa to a guy who never managed before... interesting.

              • Looks as though the Astros are on their way to the American League:

                A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that Major League Baseball only agreed to the pending sale of the Houston Astros to businessman Jim Crane after he agreed to move the team to the American League.

                • Francona not going to manage next year. So it will probably be Maddux for Cubs?

                  • Maddux and Sveum are the frontrunner. Looks like Boston may pull the trigger first, and they seem to want Sveum.

                    • According to CSN Chicago, multiple reports from Milwaukee that Sveum has been offered job by Cubs. They pulled trigger first, maybe because Maddux doesn't want to move because of family?

                      • Unsurprisingly, Clayton Kershaw wins the NL Cy Young (though Halladay was excellent this year as well):



                        Surprised no one discussed Verlander's unanimous AL Cy Young.

                          • Nice to know we finally hired a manager with major league managerial experience.

                              Wonder what Ryno's reaction was to the hire?

                                Is this a good sign for the MVP?

                                His Cy Young was pretty much in the bag for a while now, so I'm not terribly interested/surprised in him getting it. I don't know off hand how common it is to be the unanimous pick. All I've really cared about award wise is that MVP.
