Padres Acquire Baek
2008-05-28 11:20:00 The Padres and Mariners worked out a minor trade, as they have many times in the past. The Padres acquired Cha Seung Baek for Jared Wells. Baek was in the 10-day limbo period after being designated for assignment. Baek, 28, has a 4.96 ERA in 168.2 career innings for the Mariners. His best asset has been respectable control. The Ms signed Baek out of Korea for $1.3MM in '98. Baseball America said back in '05 that Baek succeeds by locating a full five-pitch repertoire. He had Tommy John surgery back in '01. Wells, 26, was shifted to relief at Triple A last year and picked up nine saves. His numbers have been ugly - tons of hits, poor control, mediocre strikeout rate. Baseball America notes his average slider and decent two-seam fastball.

The Brad Wilkerson acquisition may still be in the works, but Mench is a better match as a lefty-masher. He has a career line of .305/.361/.563 against them. It's only been 34 Triple A ABs but Mench is hitting .412/.500/.706 against southpaws this year.

Pirates Acquire Jason Michaels, Brewers Mull Turnbow
2008-05-08 18:38:00 After being designated for assignment back on May 5, Jason Michaels has been traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates for, what else, a player to be named later. As Tim noted on Monday, Michaels has been pretty terrible so far this year. Not that he was so hot during his tenure in Cleveland. He wasn't able to get his OBP above .330 or his SLG above .400. Not so hot for a corner outfielder. The Pirates options OF Nyjer Morgan to AAA to make room for Michaels. I haven't seen word on the move to clear room for Michaels on the 40-man roster. Though it's entirely possible that the Pirates have a spot open. Any Pirates fans know the deal? In other recently-designated news, it is believed that the Brewers have placed reliever Derrick Turnbow on waivers. The former closer was DFA a week ago, so something needs to be done soon. Tom Haudricourt believes he could clear waivers by Friday. If he clears, he could accept an assignment to AAA with the Brewers. Otherwise he'd become a free agent and for...

Norton, 35, certainly didn't do anything wrong with the Mariners. He was 7 for 16 with a couple of doubles before they DFA'd him. He's a solid switch-hitting bench bat, a nice pickup for Frank Wren. We might be able to give Norton a mulligan for his off-year in '07; he was coming off knee surgery and finished the year with elbow surgery.

Breaking News: Microsoft (MSFT) Withdraws Offer To Acquire Yahoo (YHOO)&hel
2008-05-04 02:29:00 I tried very hard not to cover this breaking news of Microsoft withdrawing their offer to acquire Yahoo! as I believe it to be utterly useless for trading purposes, especially since we all know there’s gonna be 5,000 articles in the next 24 hours written about it, but the official press release contains some pretty funny stuff towards the end–at least for corporate speak–so it’d be rude of me not to share: I still believe even today that our offer remains the only alternative put forward that provides your stockholders full and fair value for their shares. By failing to reach an agreement with us, you and your stockholders have left significant value on the table. But clearly a deal is not to be.

Rockies Acquire Jason Grilli, Jorge de la Rosa
2008-04-30 18:53:00 The Rockies and Tigers made a swap today. The Rockies get 31 year-old pitcher Jason Grilli, while the Tigers receive 22 year-old pitcher Zach Simons. Grilli has served as a mop-up man for the Tigers the past two years, eating bullpen innings at a mediocre ERA. The Rox may have been drawn to his typically decent groundball rates. Simons appears to be a long shot to reach the bigs; he wasn't among the Rockies' top 30 prospects. The Rox also completed their long-rumored deal for lefty Jorge de la Rosa. He'll jump right into the rotation. The 27 year-old is an interesting arm when healthy.

Dolphins acquire LB Ayodele, TE Fasano from Cowboys
2008-04-26 08:28:00 I'm a little late to the party with this one. While I was out tonight, I received a surprising text message that read "Dolphins acquire Akin Ayodele and Anthony Fasano." And to my delight, the text wasn't a joke. Various sources, including ESPN , the Palm Beach Post , and NFL.com are reporting that the Dolphins have indeed acquired LB Akin Ayodele and TE Anthony Fasano from the Cowboys in exchange for Miami's 4th round pick. Ayodele, who will be 29 in September, spent his first 4 seasons in Jacksonville. He won the starting job midway through his rookie season and really excelled from there on out while in Jacksonville, averaging 87 tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles in his 4 years there. He then went on to Dallas, where he didn't make as much of an impact as I thought he would. But at 6'2, 250, Ayodele has the speed that Bill Parcells is known to covet from his middle linebackers. He's a player I've always liked, dating back to ...
