Steve Trachsel Designated For Assignment
2008-06-10 17:13:00 According to Roch Kubatko of the Baltimore Sun, the Orioles designated pitcher Steve Trachsel for assignment today. The move was expected, given Trachsel's 8.39 ERA and 0.59 K/BB in 39.6 innings this year. The Sun's Jeff Zrebiec talked with Trachsel this spring and got the impression that he'd retire if the Orioles let him go (unless another team puts him in the rotation).

Rockies Talking To Redman, Trachsel
2007-11-29 21:01:00 According to Tracy Ringolsby, the Rockies already have their 2008 rotation picked out: Aaron Cook, Jeff Francis, Ubaldo Jimenez, Franklin Morales, and Jason Hirsh. Of course, counting on each to make 30 starts would be folly. With that in mind, Dan O'Dowd is looking for some veteran filler. Specifically, he's trying to sign Mark Redman and Steve Trachsel. Trachsel in particular would like to become a Rockie. Trax is 37; he pitched 159 innings over 29 starts in 2007. He's always working out of a jam, given the amount of baserunners he puts on. And he definitely pitches to contact. Whenever a pitcher walks more than he whiffs, that's not good. The Cubs deemed him to be worth less than $4.75MM, declining his '08 option for that amount. I'm thinking one year, $3MM. Redman will be 34 in January. At one point he could almost be called an innings-eater, but the lefty doesn't appear to have much left in the tank. The Rockies...

Cubs Rumors: Wood, Schilling
2007-11-03 18:36:00 Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times has a Cubs update for us this morning. Let's start with Kerry Wood, who would garner plenty of interest on the open market. Despite rumors that Wood might look elsewhere for a chance to start, he's likely to stay with the Cubs as a starter. The Cubs are on Curt Schilling's list, and they'll be in the mix for him if his price is reasonable. I take that to mean not much more than $12-13MM. A cheaper option might be Hiroki Kuroda, though that could take a three-year commitment. So, perhaps a larger cash outlay. The Cubs will probably pass on Alex Rodriguez, though he would've been a nice fit at shortstop in my opinion. Options: the Cubs exercised Daryle Ward's for $1.2MM. They passed on Steve Trachsel's $4.75MM option, which is a relief since there had been rumors of exercising it. Cliff Floyd is probably gone as well. showad();

Cubs Acquire Steve Trachsel
2007-08-31 20:14:00 The prodigal son returns - Chicago radio stations are reporting that the Cubs have acquired starter Steve Trachsel for third baseman Scott Moore and reliever Rocky Cherry. Apparently the two minor leaguers were able to slip through waivers, or perhaps Baltimore won claims on them. The obvious question - where does Trax fit into the Cubs' rotation? It's hard to picture him outpitching Carlos Zambrano, Ted Lilly, Rich Hill, Jason Marquis, or Sean Marshall. Zambrano, Lilly, and Marquis are locks given their contracts, and Hill has the best ERA on the staff. Marshall doesn't seem to be ailing; his last three starts have been respectable. He tossed 147.3 innings last year and is on pace for about 157 this year. That's a reasonable increase, so limiting his innings doesn't seem a reasonable reason to yank him. Maybe we're looking at a six-man rotation? For a minute I thought maybe this was a block waiver claim, but then I remembered Trachse...

Rosenthal's Latest: Damon, Glaus, Wells
2007-08-20 19:50:00 Ken Rosenthal has a new column up; here are some rumor-related points of interest. As you know, it doesn't make sense for the Yankees to keep both Bobby Abreu and Johnny Damon around for 2008. It's just not an efficent way to spend $29MM. Rosenthal says Damon would be open to waiving his no-trade clause, if the Yankees struck a deal with a team that fell under his 12-team protection. Damon is apparently open to regular playing time on teams not located on the West Coast. The White Sox, Phillies, Braves, or Astros might make sense, in my opinion. The Yanks' ability to pull an exercise-and-trade with Abreu's 2008 option is hindered by his full no-trade protection. Rosenthal believes the Blue Jays might aggressively shop Troy Glaus this winter. Glaus surprisingly cleared waivers recently. Glaus is holding all the cards - he has a full no-trade clause and a player option for 2009. The Rockies will pass on David Wells, but the Dodgers are sti...
