Boy that Gargano sure has the "inside" scoop!

He wasn't waiving his no trade unless he got one.

I just don't understand what the Dbacks were thinking. Utley alone is probably better than the 4 the Sox gave up. If a player that you want to deal will only accept a trade to 3 teams, why trade w/ the one that has the weakest prospects.

Don't know, don't care. All I know is that the Yankees' primary rival just got considerably deadlier. Now if only Pettite signs Houston's contract offer ...

Pettite will be a Yankee. Houston can't afford Pettite.

Houston has offered him a three year contract. Whether or not they can afford him will depend entirely on Pettite.

Bah! Stupid McLane! Get on the ball, you dog!

It's encouraging that they asked Pettite to come to them for a last bid. At the least it shows they're willing to compete with Steinbrenner.
