So Long to Laffey, Proctor, and Valdes

post from Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog on 11 October 2011 10:01:30 PM. © Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog

As per Chad Jennings:

The Yankees announced three player moves this afternoon.

? LHP Aaron Laffey was claimed off waivers by Kansas City.

? LHP Raul Valdes elected free agency in lieu of being outrighted off the Major League roster.

? RHP Scott Proctor also elected free agency in lieu of being outrighted.

The Yankees 40-man roster now stands at 37 with Boone Logan as the only left-handed reliever. Laffey and Valdes were added as late-season left-handed depth.

As per my own perfunctory glance, the only Yankees worth protecting in the Rule 5 Draft that are not already on the 40-man roster are David Phelps and D.J. Mitchell. With that in mind, I believe thank yous are in order for the Royals and Misters Valdes and Proctor, for making the Yankees 40-man roster maneuvering that much easier.

First Francona, Now Epstein

post from Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog on 11 October 2011 09:01:45 PM. © Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog

From the Boston Herald:

Two baseball sources have confirmed that Theo Epstein is on the cusp of leaving his job as general manager of the Red Sox [team stats] to accept a position with the Chicago Cubs that is believed to include powers greater than he has in Boston, with an announcement expected to be made ?within the next 24 to 48 hours.?

The hangup in the negotiations has been twofold. One of them is that Red Sox ownership was still hoping to have Epstein remain with the team. The other is compensation: If Epstein is to leave Boston, said one source with knowledge of the negotiations, the Red Sox are going to want ?something real.?

Whether that involves a player, money or a combination of the two remains unclear.

?But this is going to be resolved very soon,? said a second baseball source.

Looks like their collapse has continued into the offseason.

Fantastic!

Carpenter, Gallardo to meet in Game 3 (AP)

On the day he pitches, Chris Carpenter can be an ornery cuss. He prowls the mound, barks at hitters, and on at least one occasion has been known to invite a basepath collision. Though just an 11-game winner for the St. Louis Cardinals, the 36-year-old right-hander has been in dominating mode since midseason.
