Posted November 6, 2008 at 12:57 amBetween Andrew Baggarly here and John Shea here, there’s a lot of petrol for the rumor Fiat. Some thoughts in nugget format, trying to keep pace with the nuggety goodness of both articles:
The names this offseason — Orlando Hudson, Rafael Furcal, Adam Dunn, Mark Teixeira — beat the hell out of the Joe Crede-types from last winter. Unfortunately, they also all make …

Posted October 30, 2008 at 3:13 pmFrom S.I.:
The Mets are considering whether to try to upgrade at catcher in addition to their goal of improving the bullpen (that’s the first priority), the rotation and possibly the outfield. Second base is of lesser consideration. As for catcher, they’ve discussed the Giants’ Bengie Molina.
I’ve detected slight trade rumor fatigue around these parts, but I can’t sympathize. The offseason is made for …

You …
