Yanks, Pads complete Gaudin trade
ByTwo weeks after shipping Chad Gaudin to the Bronx, the Padres decided to take $100,000 back in return. It was originally reported that the Pads would receive a player to be named later, but apparently they had until Sept. 1st to decide between cash or a player. So that’s a loose end tied up.

Interesting. I wonder who is on the list of players if they took the money over all of them. It’s not exactly a lot of cash.
Maybe they needed some extra scratch to make payroll after going all-in on Donovan Tate, Everett Williams, and Keyvius Sampson.
“The Nationals insist they’re good on the money, just not right now.”

Boras is now getting teams to agree to money they don’t even have.
I think I saw Ted Lerner and Stan Kasten in line at the clinic to sell their blood and semen.
(Not mixed together, of course.)
Is this a bad time to make a “Don’t cross the streams” joke?
It’s never a bad time to make a Ghostbusters joke.
It’s true… this man has no dick.
If there’s a steady paycheck involved, I’ll believe anything you say.
Try to battle my boys? That’s not legal!
It is when you consider that most cash trades are for either $1000 or $3000 (I can’t remember which).
Damn the Yankees are so POOR now.
Hal: [takes $100,000 from Hank's money clip]
Hank: Hal, be reasonable. Do not take my pocket money!
Hal: If you have no more money, you can cause no more mischief!
IETC. good movie.
no, they aree able to do things like this because they get money for guys like hinske which can be rused. you think cashman would have made the pirates pay for him if he didnt think he would need that money to make other moves?
Brian! Get me the 100 grand I keep in the executive mens room! Yes, the ones I wipe my ass with, those!
No h/t for “Yankee Von Homerdinger”, huh?
*pumps fist*
He probably would have gotten a hat tip… had he actually cut and pasted a damn link.
But he chose not “too”.
thank God it’s not Ivan Nova
I love your name.
Sincerely,
Lisa Simpson
You’re a huge “Simpsons” fan, aint cha? That’s like the 3rd reference tonight. Great show.
Bingo-bango, sugar in the gas tank! Your ex-husband strikes again.
Your teachers name is Krabapple! Oh, all this time I thought it was Krandall.
Marge: Homer, are you giving up on your religion?
Homer: No! No, no, no, no, no. Well, yes.
I can’t live the button down life like you. I want it all! The terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. Sure I might offend a few of the blue noses with my cocky stride and musky odors, oh, I’ll never be darling of the so called “City Fathers”, who cluck their tongues and stroke their beards and talk about “What’s to be done with this Homer Simpson?”
Look Marge, you don’t know what it’s like. I’M the one out there every day putting his ass on the line.
And I’M NOT OUT OF ORDER! YOU’RE out of order! The whole freaking SYSTEM is out of order.
You want the truth? You want the truth?! YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!
‘Cause when you reach over and put your hand into a PILE OF GOO… THAT WAS YOUR BEST FRIEND’S FACE! YOU’LL KNOW WHAT TO DO!
FORGET IT, MARGE… IT’S CHINATOWN!
Stupider like a fox!
!!!? … $100,000 for a major league pitcher? Decent one, at least. No player in return?? That’s all?!?

Looks like we control Gaudin for another 2 years as well.

Of the guys the Yanks have made trades for, I hope they keep most of them. I love Hairston’s versatility, I love Hinske’s pop off the bench and versatility at 3B/1B/OF, Gaudin can start or work out of the pen. All nice additions that I hope the re-sign.
Agreed. Which is why cementing this awesome World Series win will be the final piece of the puzzle in our pitchjob to get Hinske and Hairston to forgo the extra playing time that the Diamondbacks and Royals (or other reasonable facsimiles of suckitude) will undoubtedly offer them.
I wouldn’t mind getting a sandwich pick for Hairston. That is if continues as a Type B.
according to the last elias rankings Hairston is a safe B with 9 guys below him as B’s before no compensation starts and Gaudin is also a B as a RP in the AL w 14 guys b/w him and no comp.
but gaudin has 1 or 2 more years of arb i believe before he is ufa.
That, too.
+1
Jose or Frankie for the backup catcher next year? Or, do they sign someone like Benjie Molina to catch most of the time and have Jorge DH most of the time?
Frankie, I’d imagine. He’s as ready as he’ll ever be.
Bengie Molina was intriguing back on May 15th, when he was hitting .299/.308/.559.
Since then, he’s hitting .241/.263/.372. I lost interest.

Hell of a week.

I’m not liking that .277 OBP this year, although his page sponser cracks me up.
Yeah, he’s not a high OBP guy, which is shitty.
What I’m looking for is an old, fat catcher with no power who doesn’t walk.
I just saw a fan that looked like a cross between Peter Abraham and Jason Varitek at the Eagles game.
(shudders)
In Tampa this weekend, I saw a guy who looked just like Pete Abe, only bigger. I saw Pete Abe during spring training, he’s not nearly as big as his giant head makes him out to be.

You know, for a fat chick, you don’t sweat that much!
Hey tommie: What do fat chicks do in the summer?
speaking of Arb eligible players it is disgusting that nady has been out the whole year and is still almost a type A
Great deal.
I’d much rather do this than fret over the Yankees losing their 25th best prospect.
Bonus point: 3/4ths of the money we gave to get Gaudin, we got for free this year by having Nova, Kroenke, and Corona taken and then returned in the Rule V Draft.
75K in the bank, burning a hole in our pocket.
