Yankees won the bid for Kei Igawa the left hand pitcher will probably get a spot in the rotation because they Bid 26,000,194 to get the rights for him . They also have 1 month to get a deal done . If your wondering why add 194 to 26 million and the reason is because thats how many strikeouts he had last year .

A couple of deals worth posting about .

• JD Drew to Red Sox for 5 yrs 70 million
  
• Julio Lugo to Red Sox for 4yr 36 million
  
• Gred Maddox to Padres for 1 yr 10 million
  
• Jason Schmidt to Dodgers for 3 yrs for 47 million
  
• Vincente Padilla resigns with Rangers for 3 yrs 34 million

Of ESPN So-Called Top 40 that havent signed : rollseyes:

#5 Roger Clemens - might retire

#6 Andy Pettitte - I heard he's considering retirement

#12 Ted Lilly - Cubs or Yankees are front-runners

#13 Gil Meche

#15 Barry Zito - IMO best pitcher of the FA class but yet espn give him snub ranking. Only pitcher that may rival how good he is out of this FA class is that Jap pitcher and he only has I think 7 more days to sign

#16 Barry Bonds -

#24 Shea Hillenbrand-

#27 Jeff Suppan -

#32 Aubrey Huff -

#36 Kenny Lofton-

#38 Jeff Weaver-

#39 Bengie Molina-

Mike Piazza signed with the A's for 1 yr 8.5 million. He will be the DH , so Slinger you get some good news . Signing a guy that still has a little power and not signing Barry Bonds...lol

1 Major Trade -

Freddy Garcia goes to Philly

White Sox get Gavin Floyd and a Gio Gonzalez . Is Gavin a super prospect or something? I dont see why else they would do this them because the only reason they did it was to make room for Brandon McCarthey in the rotation . I dont why they'd Garcia who is pretty good for another Sp that is just starting his career . Probably just wanted some youth pitching .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gil Meche signed with the Royals for 5 yr 55.0 pending a physical

Ted Lilly signed with the Cubs for 4 yr 40 I believe....Geez id laugh if all this spending led to nothing other than another missed postseason.

Bengie Molina with the Giants - 3yr 16.0 million

I am still super mad at Frank Thomas. Much better player and hitter. Makes me sick he left. Piazza will be on the DL and his numbers will be laughable compared to Big Frank.

Yes they will . Also Andy Pettitite went to the Yankees for 1 yr 16 million . Over payment . And Steroid King got himself 16 million and what do the Giants see in him 25 homers and suspect fielding . Money well spent , not . Maybe they should go after a pitcher . Unless they bring someone up that is a super proscect heres there projected rotation on their site , #1 Matt Morris , #2 Noah Lowry , #3 Matt Cain , #4 Brad Hennessey , #5 Jothanthen Sanchez

Cubs over spend on a guy who just came off a season of 6.02 ERA . 3 yr 20 million for Jason Marquis . They also might sign Cliff Floyd.

Daisuke Matsuzaka acaully got a contract done in time im suprised . 6 yr 52 and Seibu get 51.1 posting fees.

Red Sox get - Brenden Donolly

Angels get- Phil Seibel
