Hot Stove, but No Fire
Bugs & Cranks — Headline on my Nationals news feed:  Nationals not pursuing Manny. Quick blurb: WASHINGTON — There have been several reports recently that the Nationals have expressed interest in free-agent outfielder Manny Ramirez. Not so, according to general manager Jim Bowden. Color me shocked that the Nats — those of the 59 wins, those frugal Nats who thought that paying rent on their stadium was optional — would not consider the upcoming largest contract in baseball history as an option. But wait, there’s more. The Nationals are looking for a left-handed-hitting slugger, however, and they are pursuing ...

They got off to a pretty good start, acquiring Josh Willingham and Scott Olsen via trade with the Florida Marlins. Not a bad deal at all for the Nats, and Olsen will fit nicely into the Nationals starting rotation and could end up being the Nats #1 ro #2 starter, dependent on what further moves are planned. One further move that WILL NOT happen is the pursuit of Manny Ramirez.“We are not pursuing Manny Ramirez,” Bowden said in an e-mail. The ...
