• Reaction to the Granderson trade

  
  Yanks and more — Authority: 134
  I like Austin Jackson but at this point he is a minor league prospect only, he hasnt proved anything yet. I know he can be good but we wont know that for at least a couple of more years. He is fast and a good outfielder, he seems to be a good hitter but has no power at all at this point. Curtis Granderson is young, ...

  Mets Today — Authority: 537
  In a matter of 48 hours, the Braves have rebuilt their bullpen. A day after signing Billy Wagner to be their closer, Atlanta wasted no time in locking up a setup man — Takashi Saito. Saito was signed to a one-year, $3.2M contract . And just like that, the 8th and 9th innings are solved for the Braves. I know ...

• Braves near deal with Saito

  
  Rowland's Office — Authority: 470
  One year and $3 mil, reports CBS’ Danny Knobler . The upside, assuming a deal is consummated: Atlanta’s bullpen will have two proven closers for a combined price of $10 mil — much more than it would cost to retain Gonzo and BMF. In 2007, Saito and Wagner combined for 73 saves. The downside: The youngest of ...

• Drop off location

  
  Philliesflow.com — Authority: 117
  Earlier this week I wrote that after leading the NL in runs allowed per nine innings by relievers in 2008, the Phils dropped to ninth in that category in 2009. Despite the big drop in 2009, opponents posted very similar batting lines against the Phillies relief pitchers in 2009 and 2008: Year AVG ...

• Wren not done fortifying the bullpen

  
  Rowland's Office — Authority: 470
  Mark Bowman mentions free agents Octavio Dotel, Takashi Saito and Fernando Rodney as pitchers FW is targeting. Rodney is the youngest and has the best stuff though his track record is spotty. Saito is the oldest but has the best numbers. Dotel falls somewhere in between. All three have closing experience. –CB

• Billy Begrudges Boston Beef, Begins Braves Bullpen Bidness

  
  Walkoff Walk — Authority: 563
  Well that was fast. Just a day after the Red Sox offered arbitration to an aging Billy Wagner, the Braves have decided to swoop in and snag the veteran reliever for a tidy $7 million in 2010 and an option in 2011 that will vest if Wags finishes 50 games next season. Hell need to pass a physical first but for someone ...

• The Braves have a new closer

  
  Rowland's Office — Authority: 470
  Billy Wagner is coming to Atlanta for a reported one-year, $7 million deal with a $6.5 million option in 2011 that vests if he finishes at least 50 games next season. It’s a low-risk signing, considering the money involved. Yes, Wagner is 38 and fresh off elbow surgery, but he appeared as effective as ever in 17 ...

• Odds and Ends: Halladay, Park, Duchscherer

  
  Phillies Nation — Authority: 474
  -Roy Halladay has made it clear to trade him now, or not at all.  The 32-year old righty gave the Blue Jays an ultimatum: find a suitor before spring training or I am playing this season in Toronto. Halladay does not want rampant trade rumors to become a hazard during the season, so as soon as spring training ...

  This off season John Maine is a potential non-tender candidate and there has been talk that the Mets will non-tender him today, the deadline for offering your players arbitration.

• Braves pursuing baseball’s most underrated reliever

  
  Rowland's Office — Authority: 470
  In 245 career innings, Takashi Sa ito has 297 strikeouts, 83 saves and a 2.05 ERA. The Braves are interested in the Red Sox free agent, and they should be, even though Saito will be 40 when the season starts. (He was born one day before me, so I’m pulling for him.) I’m not suggesting he be the Braves ...
