    Yes, that's true. I remember reading it at the time. He offered Arod, Giambi and someone else all trades and all turned it down.

    What the hell would we have received for Giambi? A laundry basket full of socks?

    They were just trying to get him off the roster knowing they would have to pay most of his salary anyway. They all have no trade clauses. I'm sure they probably offered him the same thing this year but he has always been steadfast about not leaving.

    Of course. Where would he go? Nobody wants him. He knows it. I wonder what phantom injury he'll have this year?

    They had better not be Red ones though.

    And I don't want to hear some BS excuse that you put your lady's pink panties in with the whites.

    Yankees got C.J. Henry back.

    This makes the Bobby Abreu trade even more brilliant :)

    Not sure what you find so funny considering they DID offer Lowell a contract to play 1B. And there is 2 'L's in Murrell..

    Wouldn't that technically be spelling, not grammar?

    Where the hell are they going to put him?

    When they hell are they going to learn you don't hit your way to a title? You pitch to it.

    Ugh. I was ecstatic two weeks ago. Now I'm left scratching my head again.

    Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to get him for first base. He's going to be too fat for third soon, so it does make some sense.
