Really, I'm more than happy to have Zeke play should Grady go down rather than Mike Cameron.

That said, I realize that all teams make these little moves to fill roster spots across the organization....I just don't see an upside to investing time money and space to Mike Cameron.

Antonetti on All Bets Are Off today saying the Indians have multiple trade proposals out there and waiting to hear back from other teams.

No specifics though.

Large contract in exchange for a secret santa gift, most likely.

They're trading a coupon for $2 off at Olive Garden to bring back Sal Fasano.

Holy shit! You poor fucks signed Andy LaRoche to compete for a utility infield spot. I fondly remember how, when he was with the Pirates, he transformed from a good fielder who could hit a little (not really near where you'd expect or hope a third baseman to be producing, but could hit A LITTLE) to a guy who couldn't do anything right.

Just one of hundreds of fond "Baseball Wit' Da 'Rates" memories that team has given me over the years. Ahhh...nostalgia!

Just another case of where they offer about 50% of what he signs for elsewhere, and then the front office claims "but we tried!"

With the other "finalists" being Boston, Tampa, Toronto & St Louis, I'm not holding my breath.

For once I would love to see them make an offer he can't refuse. But reality says I'm dreaming.

After reading this, I noticed that Pittsburgh signed Anderson Hernandez to a minor league contract. While not a long-time Indian, he did play for them briefly (22 games) in 2010, so that trend is kinda continuing...FML

The best is that Josh Rodriguez kid. Pittsburgh signed him from Cleveland in last year's Rule 5 draft. And then offered him back to Cleveland because they didn't have room for him in the big leagues. And then reacquired him in some nothing trade...to be a minor league journeyman bouncing between AA and AAA. Just sad...

According to reports, the Tribe made a legit offer.

Obviously, St Louis was a better destination, especially with their current team.

2 years $26 million is actually somewhat reasonable for Beltran if he can stay somewhat healthy. That was way too rich for the Tribe's blood as long as Hafner is hoovering up $13 million to hit 13 homers and drive in 57 runs.

Beltran on only a 2-year deal is very little risk. Great signing IMO. He doesn't replace Pujols, nor does Aramis Ramirez replace Prince, but both St. Louis and Milwaukee aren't going to be patsies next year. Both should have even stronger pitching, especially St. Louis with a bullpen that really figured it out in the 2nd half of the season and Adam Wainwright back. Milwaukee's offense is still in major trouble if Braun is gone.

Perhaps Beltran signing for 2 years could make Allen Craig available.

Do you have a PS3/360? I got the MLB.tv package that allowed me to stream through my PS3. For the whole year I think it was around $150 and you got every teams game except for the one for which you are in their TV market.
