Now they're saying it's 3.5 mil. Still, got the NL home run leader for next to nothing. I think Cashman is about to make some trades. There's no room for Carter with Holliday at DH and Bird at 1B unless they move Bird to the OF but we already got 5 outfielders. Plus Frazier might get called up as soon as this season so make it 6.
RIP to the most important owner in the history of Detroit sports. Resurrected two franchises that were left for dead. It's too bad he won't see his new arena or downtown district opened. I don't think his kids will sell the Wings but I've heard previously that they might sell the Triggers. Gores sounded like an option.
The Atlanta Braves acquired three-time All-Star Brandon Phillips on Sunday from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for two pitchers.
The Braves traded away left-hander Andrew McKirahan and minor league right-hander Carlos Portuondo.
Braves general manager John Coppolella called Phillips a "Gold Glove-caliber defender who will also deepen our offensive lineup."
"We are thrilled to 'welcome home' Brandon to Atlanta, where he will play in front of his family and friends and many of his fans," Coppolella said.
Phillips graduated from Redan High School in Stone Mountain, Georgia, in 1999, when he was drafted in the second round by the Montreal Expos. He made his debut with the Cleveland Indians in 2002.
Phillips, a 35-year-old second baseman, is signed through the 2017 season.
He had a full no-trade clause, having at least 10 years of playing experience including five with his current team. After being traded to the Braves, his contract reverts to a partial no-trade clause, which lists 12 teams to which he cannot be traded.
"It should be noted that we never included no-trade or limited-trade provisions for players such as Hall of Famers Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz, as well as future Hall of Famers Chipper Jones, Fred McGriff and Andruw Jones, and we have no intention to include these provisions in the future," Coppolella said.
Phillips has a .275 batting average with 334 double and 197 home runs in his 15 seasons in the majors. He is only 137 hits shy of 2,000 for his career.
McKirahan, 27, was claimed off waivers by the Braves from the Miami Marlins in 2015. He had Tommy John surgery, causing him to miss last season.
Portuondo signed with the Braves as a free agent last year after eight seasons in the Cuban league with Santiago. He pitched in 17 games for Single-A Carolina and Triple-A Gwinnett.
I'm happy for him to be in his home town. It was awesome having him and I'm going to miss him. The point was as jay said him blocking peraza. I'm not mad at him he earned the right to block trades. He should have gone to the nationals last year when he had the chance. Winning team and with dusty his favorite coach
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!
