Rockies Claim Wandy Rodriguez: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com


What the hell are they thinking? They trade Ubaldo and his team friendly contract (and his youth) for a guy with a worse contract and is older???

This makes little sense to me, if Ubaldo was still around, maybe I get it. But why would they trade Ubaldo and turn around and do this? Or maybe they were just blocking us and the D-Baggs.

Dumb move, because the Astros can force the contract on them now.

The Rox got two tremendous prospects for Ubaldo; they probably won't have to give up much for Wandy. Could be a good move for them.

Diamondbacks Acquire Hill, McDonald For Johnson: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

Aaron Hill and John McDonald for Kelly Johnson. Hill is pretty similar to Johnson except from the right side of the plate and McDonald just fills in at SS defensively.

Probably saw him dominate the Giants over the weekend and got fooled into thinking he was a quality pitcher.

Glad to se Kelly Johnson out of the division. He is a dangerous hitter.
