Quick Hits: Mariners, Reds, Cubs, Yankees

Tuesday, June 17, 2008

  • The Mariners have a new front office and may consider trading Erik Bedard. Nothing will happen for about a month, but they may consider shaking up the staff real soon. That could start with releasing Richie Sexson or Jose Vidro by the end of the month.
  • The Reds may consider trading Bronson Arroyo and Ryan Freel at the deadline for prospects. They are behind a little in the division, but building for 2009 could help. They need pitching more than anything.
  • The Cubs are showing signs of interest in pitcher Erik Bedard. They need a pitcher for the final months, and he would be a good addition. A cheaper addition would be Livan Hernandez of the Twins.
  • The Yankees would like to add a pitcher after they saw there young pitcher fail in the rotation. Derek Lowe is a good option because of his experience in the AL East.

do the reds need pitching>...volquez,cueto, and arroyo, and cordero on the back...couldn't hurt, not sure if thats the biggest need...also the yankees pitchers have not failed. one they are injured, two it's way too early to consider it a failure...broaden your horizon or you may never be a GM eli.

THE CUBS SHOULD GET BEDARD NOW RATHER THAN LATER IN ORDER TO TRY AND PUT SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM AND THOSE WELL COACHED PESKY CARDS
