    Astros trying to shed payroll but they gave the Phils $2 million in Pence deal and also gave Braves money in Bourn deal. Makes no sense.

    Yanks would need Astros to pay significant amount of 39 mil owed to Wandy per Heyman

    It doesn't but relevant in this case. Bourn/Pence would have made up close to 17 million in payroll next season, sweeten the deal so it goes through.

    The Bourn deal itself was not even a million but the Pence deal was 2 million...not sure I like that.

    Thats Ed Wade for ya! Go ahead Ed, pay the Yanks to take Rodriguez off your hands. Exactly as you said, they paid money to ATL and PHI.

    11:49am: There's a 50/50 chance of Rodriguez being traded somewhere, tweets Morosi. The Yankees have strong interest, tweets Stephen Goff.

    owner wants the payroll at $60 million for next year. If they don't trade these guys now, they had to pay them this year so it is a wash.

    sad to see him go. I love watching him make improvements every year. Remember when he could pitch lights out at home and get rocked on the road? It was fun. Thanks Wandy!

    Do we have anyone on our team left from our 05 series run now?

    It should be a bannable offense to post in an Astros thread without having seen Major League.

    Taylor was an all-star in Boston. Dorn used to be considered a high priced talent, these days he's just high priced.

    I believe Humberto Quintero would be the only one left from 2005 team if Wandy gets traded.
