Beat writers on twitter. I usually don’t report anything until Todd Zolecki does because he’s pretty much the only beat writer I trust. Follow him https://twitter.com/toddzolecki
Yes he has to give permission to be traded. I don’t know the Yankees and how they operate but I can’t see them not giving him a chance to redeem himself in 2013 especially with that humungous contract. But anyway I’m done talking about him because the best option for us for 3rd base seems to be Youkilis right now.
Okay so I meant to answer this when it was sent but completely forgot to. I seriously doubt he’s coming to the Phils. I don’t think RAJ is that dumb to overpay for a player like him.
Beat writers mostly. Philliedelphia.com does a good job of updating on the rumors so you can follow it there. But like I said, they are just rumors. Doesn’t mean anything will happen or the Phillies are even legitimately looking at them.
His deal includes a club option for 2013 and honestly they would be stupid not to pick up his option. I don’t think we have anything to worry about with Ruiz. He won’t be going anywhere for the time being.
Didn’t I answer this a few weeks ago?
But yes, there is always a chance to make it if you aren’t mathematically eliminated yet. We’re 6 games back in the WC but we still have three teams ahead of us (as of tonight we’re tied with Milwaukee). There’s what? 22 or so games left. We would realistically have to win about 16 to 18 of the remaining games and those 4 teams would have to keep losing. Sure it’s doable and baseball is known to have the impossible happen.
Basically it’s a long shot but I wouldn’t lose any faith. This team has been playing extremely well lately. We just need those teams ahead of us to start dropping.
We aren’t mathematically out of it but it’s not likely. Our best chance is getting that second wild card spot but we are 10.5 games out with 5 teams ahead of us. We would have to win pretty much every game and those teams would have to lose all of theirs. It won’t happen but hey, baseball is a weird sport and crazy things have been known to happen.
There wouldn’t be much to hear. Cliff isn’t a man of words even when stuff like this happens. Although one day he might snap so perhaps that would be a good idea.
No. Not yet anyway. Cliff won’t be dealt but Hunter is up in the air. Guys do me a favor and try not to believe all these rumors because they are being started by fake twitter accounts. When a verified trade happens I will post it.
