Paul Hagen reports: National League sources confirmed to the Daily News that the ...

As expected, Gordon and Seanez didn’t get arbitration offers. Almost as if to maintain some sort of equilibrium, the non-offers to Burrell and Moyer are equally as unexpected. Most people will react as if GM Ruben Amaro is crazy, and he very well may be, but let me be the first to defend his ...
