Thus tweeted Carrie Muskat , caught by Mike Emeigh at BTF . The 30-year-old Heilman was a source of constant frustration for Helen, so I was expecting to see Eric Byrnes as the return on this trade. Instead, AZ Snake Pit says the Cubs are getting a pair of minor leagues, LHP Scott Maine and ...

Per Bill Shaikin's piece in the Times , but what's weirder is the by-now ridiculous comment from Bud Selig on the McCourt splitup:
Mannion said the divorce has not affected the club's day-to-day operations. Commissioner Bud Selig said Wednesday he believes the club is "in good hands" for now ...

Jay Jaffe on Facebook turned me on to Glenn Stout's takedown of Tom Yawkey's less-than-convincing explanation as to why there wasn't a black player on the Red Sox until Pumpsie Green , whose rookie year of 1959 came 12 years after Jackie Robinson won the first Rookie of the Year award. The fact ...

Jon Heyman reports that Ken Griffey, Jr. will return to Seattle for 2010, with a $2M plus incentives contract for one year. Hat tip to David Pinto , who rightly reckons this a mistake for a replacement-level player.

We'll see . I suspect they'll make a good-faith effort to sign him, so that when the Yankees give him the $100M/5 year deal he's looking for, it won't be a surprise.

The promised T.J. Simers interview with Jamie McCourt has finally arrived. Unlike Jon , I have a few comments:
Why didn't one of your lawyers stand up and stop you from saying something as ridiculous as you are the face of the Dodgers in your court filing?

Torii Hunter has won his ninth consecutive Gold Glove ; only Roberto Clemente and Willy Mays (12 each) and Ken Griffey Jr., Andruw Jones and Al Kaline (10 each) have more.

But then, that implies that MLB would let him into their little club . I still think they imagine he's kinda mouthy to be an owner. But he'd be a lot better for the Dodgers than Frank has been.

Letting Jon Garland's 2010 option expire unexercised , the Dodgers have cut ties with their fourth-most-used fifth starter (measured by games started). It's hard to say goodbye when you didn't really care that much; mediocre as an Angel, Diamondback, and Dodger (despite the 153 ERA+ with the ...
