Hey guys!!! A lot has been going on in the baseball world. For example, the Yankees signed catcher Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez on Wednesday, to replace Jorge Posada who had season ending shoulder surgery, Wednesday. The Tigers got reliever Kyle Farnsworth in return, who was very emotional about the trade, and even broke down and cried while talking to reporters after finding out the news. The Braves sent first baseman Mark Teixera to the Angels, for first baseman Casey Kotchman, and pitcher Steve Marek. (I actually though this trade was a dumb one, and the Braves needed Teixera, but that's just me...) The Reds sent outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. to the White Sox for pitcher Nick Masset, and minor league prospect Danny Richar. The most notable trade that's happened this week is a three way trade between the Dodgers, Red Sox, and Pirates. Okay let me explain. The Dodgers get outfielder Manny Ramirez from the Red Sox. The Red Sox get outfielder Jason Bay from the Pirates, and the Pirates get minor league prospects from both teams. Craig Hansen, (pitcher) and Brandon Moss (outfielder) from the Red Sox, Andy LaRoche, (infielder) and Bryan Morris (pitcher) from the Dodgers.
The Yankees are in third place in the AL East, with a record of 59 wins and 49 losses. Tampa Bay is in first, and the Red Sox are in second.
Another thing I though was pretty cool, if you used to go to my blogs Yankees213 and YankeesGirl, you probably remember me telling you about the team who won the '07 LLWS, Warner Robins American Little League. Well Warner Robins is in the division series again, and have a chance to go back to the LLWS and make it two in a row for Warner Robins, and 3 in a row for GA. In fact, two players from last year are on the team, Payton Pervis and Hunt Smith.
That's all for now. |
