December 2, 201114 yr Author Jayson Stark says Marlins agree to 3-year $27M deal with Heath Bell pending physical.
December 2, 201114 yr I saw that the O's will be sporting the old style smiling bird full time in 2012.
December 5, 201114 yr @Buster_ESPN: "Reds are said to be talking about a lot of trade possibilities... Offering a whole range of players." Also sounds like they're discussing Josh Willingham. Wouldn't be a terrible LF option, but would assume that signing him would mean a trade of Alonso and some others for a #1 pitcher.
December 5, 201114 yr Sounds like the Reds are close to locking up Phillips for awhile. Where did you see this?
December 5, 201114 yr ^From the way Jocketty has been talking, it sounds like all that's left is structuring it properly...Sounds like a chunk of deferred money will be involved.

There was a blurb somewhere, I believe on MLB Trade Rumors, that several GMs viewed Alonso as "a one-dimensional player" that wouldn't rate a huge return like a #1 starter. For the Reds, what else would it take?

For the Reds, what else would it take? Who has said Alonso alone would bring back a #1? I would think they'll try to package him and someone like Volquez and/or Bailey...:idunno:

December 6, 201114 yr What #1 starter are you getting with that package? More importantly, name ANY #1 starters that are on the trade block? Besides, the Reds do not have the players to trade for a true #1 unless they include Chapman or Mesoraco in the deal. Spare parts and #3 starters don't land a #1.

December 6, 201114 yr What #1 starter are you getting with that package? Well obviously there would need to be more than just that, but that would be a good starting point....
