Live Chat from the Winter Meetings today

By Mike Axisa

Today’s the last full day of the Winter Meetings, so we’ve got plenty to talk about. Let’s do our first on location chat this afternoon, I’m thinking 2pm east coast time. We can talk CC, Burnett, Sheets, anything really. See you then.

Oh, remember that Milwaukee writer that thought the Brewers would receive the Yanks’ two first round picks if they sign both Sabathia & Sheets? Joe and I figured out who he is, and it turns out we have a history.

  2. Tim Q. Mills says:

    What would they get if we sign both?

    • jsbrendog says:

      depending on other free agents we sign. they get our first round pick for cc unless we sign tex. and then they get 2nd round for sheets unless we sign a higher ranked free agent. so if we sign lowe or burnett i believe then the brewers would get third round??

      someone fact check me on that

    Joe or Mike, go knock on Abraham’s door, will you? He seems to be sleeping through all the excitement.

  4. Brooklyn Ed says:

    does the signing of Nick Punto means Cody Ransom isn’t coming back? Girardi seems to be really high on Ransom.

    • Mike A. says:

      Did they sign him? We haven’t heard about it anywhere. Can you send a link if it’s being reported somewhere? Thanks.

      As for your question, Girardi said that he felt they can carrier Ransom and a guy like Punto because Ransom can play the corner outfield spots too.

    Lmao at Haudricourt,and at the small world for which we all seem to live in on occasion…

  6. Mike Pop says:

    Is it funny that everything Gammons reports seems to be Red Sox news

  7. Mike says:

    I hear b/c of CC that means no on the Tex front.

    I agree with CC costing the money, but why in the world are they still then trying to sign every other pitcher available? Lowe (no thanks), AJ “all I do is get hurt” Burnett (NOPE). I don’t mind Sheets or Pettite but if you are going to og after the other two and spend 30 mil per year, why are you out on Tex at 18-20 mil?
