Just to keep you in the loop I just called Mike to offer the following deal to Washington DC:
Miami offers 3B Pedro Castaneda and a MR (Townsend, Sardinia, or Bennett)
For
3B Reynaldo Aguirre
Mike
had mentioned on another occasion the DC needed bullpen help we are
willing to part with some of ours. Like I told Mike, although I think
Aguirre is better than Castaneda (our reason for doing the trade is to
upgrade) we don't think it's by much. Therefore, this is a good
opportunity for DC to really upgrade at a weakness by acquiring a
strong, proven reliever and perhaps closer. In return they slightly
downgrade at 3B. Plus Castaneda is still very cheap at the league
minimum and the relievers are cheap as well. Aguirre earns 2+ million
in Arbitration and will be due for a contract soon.
Mike was
pondering and I had to go so I left him pondering. Hopefully he'll
have an ok by the time we get to Yugma. By the way are you going to be
able to make it around 815 830?
