Los Angeles correspondent and former CortSide co-host Josh Garcia is back to weigh in on this year’s Winter Meetings, which are currently being held in Las Vegas.
There is nothing like the baseball off-season, my favorite off-season to follow. Free agents, trades and new players. Las Vegas was buzzing this week as GMs, and agents and media were ...

Peavy to Cubs is dead. Huge deal - huge in terms of volume, not necessarily star talent - between the Mariners, Indians and Mets. J.J. Putz is the centerpiece of the deal.

Analysis of a Coast to Coast Blockbuster
The Outsiders Look at the Insides of Baseball —
By now, we've all heard of the 12 player, 3 team blockbuster that occurred on Wednesday Night between the Mets, Mariners, and Indians. In fact, I even posted a breakdown of the trade Thursday morning, so if you haven't heard of it yet, you probably aren't reading this. So we're got 12 players, being exchanged between three teams, from two different leagues.

In addition, I'm impressed with what the Indians did, although disappointed with the return (I'll explain this later). However none of this means that I feel as though the ...
A word about the Mets' reliever moves

Well, I wasn't exactly lobbying for Francisco Rodriguez, but there's a big difference between the 5 years/$75 million that it was supposed to have taken and the 3 years/$37 million that it actually took. At that price it's hard to complain. The guy is pretty good, after all. It's even harder to complain after seeing that the Indians had to go over $10 million/yr to get Kerry Wood, whose injury problems have been very real instead of just seemingly inevitable like K-Rod's. And the 12-player JJ Putz deal seems borderline brilliant, as it appears that Endy Chavez might have been the most valuable player the Mets gave up. Heilman was going to do be ...

I hope we look back a year from now and see it worked out for everybody." Shapiro "I just told Omar that, if you can get a Valbuena in addition to Smith, we would do it." Shapiro (Anthony Castrovince, MLB.com ) SAYING ALL THE RIGHT THINGS AS HE GETS RID OF THE OLD, INFIRM, AND JUST PLAIN BAD "What our goals were in Seattle were to try to upgrade the talent level, to try to ...
