Ya I was just about to post that. I was told of that about an hour ago.

Was also told that the team that we were talking to about trades earlier this afternoon was the dodgers.

It looks at this point that JD is trying to add the best outfielder possible. Talked extensively to LAD today and is very interested in ryan braun. Also met with choo this morning. Trying to land one of the big ones

Talked to the Dodgers about which one, Kemp?

I couldn't tell you. The two teams he talked trade with today were the rays and the dodgers. They met with choo this morning, and JD has internally expressed his interest in ryan braun. He has yet to pursue braun though apparently

Hey may have some internal and external resistance for pursuing Braun.

I would love braun. He's the best case scenario. I hope he gives them a call in the next couple of days to at least explore the possibility

Melvin being a former Ranger GM doesn't hurt. Hope JD acts on it. Choice is nice but not the immediate answer.

Ya I highly doubt choice will be anything more than a 4th outfielder when the season starts. I dont think JD will let another offseason like last year happen. He's got way too many options to not make something work

Hey, let's not forget the Rally Gorilla. I always referred to him as Rally Monkey and he didn't seem to enjoy it so much.

and Calinative. At least RallyG was sometimes creative. Calinative used to talk shit about Josh almost every day. Then, the Angels signed him, and he swore he never said anything bad about him.

Well, I don't think Choo is one of those options after the Ellsbury contract. Sure Choo was receptive to JD and all this morning, but . . .

I think I can speak for some of us that we start to get a bit anxious and testy when we see the dominoes start falling quickly and teams in our division and around mlb making moves and we are awaiting a big acquisition that just seems to be right on the edge of happening.......and then we remember last year!

I wish I knew more about the meeting with choo. I asked and he said he wasn't allowed to discuss the terms from the meeting. Which usually just means that choo gave them the price he was looking for.

and that was before the Ellsbury contract. May have been a steal in comparison, Terps.
