Just was given a rumor that says Brown to Yanks for Weaver, 2 prospects, and 3 million.

yuppers

I really hope that trade happens

If Brown can remain healthy for an entire season + postseason the ball is back in Boston's court.

Well looks like its a done deal. Good move for the Dodgers because they get to unload browns contract. He was due 30mil over the next 2 years plus they get weaver who is still young and has a lot of upside.

Kevin Brown RHP LAD Signed Dec 1998 - 7 years/$105M

1999: $10.0M (+$5.0M signing bonus)

2000: $15.0M

2001: $15.0M

2002: $15.0M

2003: $15.0M

2004: $15.0M

2005: $15.0M

Jeff Weaver RHP NYY Signed Jan 2002 - 4 years/$22M

2002: $2.4M

2003: $4.1M

2004: $6.25M

2005: $9.25M

-Possible $700,000 in bonuses during the contract

Does this mean the ARod trade will happen this week?

that's great!!!! Weaver sucks and Brown is one of the best pitchers in baseball!!!

maybe he just needs a change of scenery

no idea yet on the 2 minor leaguers is there?

 

Great trade for the Dodgers IMO. Moving that contract was big for them. Maybe they can get a few bats now.

NO NO NO NO!!! I guess if one is okay with gluttony, you can think it is like paying only 7.5 million a year subtracting Weaver's salary, but the Yankee Payroll has to be close to 210,000,000 dollars after we finally sign Sheffield for real. Its a shame, the Yanks already had a great starting rotation. Here's what it is now:

 

Mussina

Brown

Vasquez

Contreras

Lieber/Wells

 

All of these guys could be 1 starters (Well Lieber was.) This is just insane, and I think Bartolome de Las Casas said it best:

"Ill acquired wealth will make Spain the poorest country on Earth."

 

Will Yankee fans be able to tolerate non-all star teams in the future? It can't keep going on like this, it is far too inefficient. Its crazy.

I hope it does not happen.

Kelvin Brown was my favorite Dodgers player.

:thumbdown :thumbdown :w00t :hat :hat

Is open the door for the Dodgers to go after Vlad, Pudge or Carlos Beltran. They want a bat...they need a bat Shawn Green can't do it all.

are you saying Cesar Izturis' bat isnt good enough ;)

maybe he just needs a change of scenery

Possibly.

 

He was an adequate pitcher in Detroit, but I don't know. He changed his whole approach and style in New York, and when I saw him pitch at Yankee Stadium in July, he was AWFUL. Weaver could be good in LA I guess, but I doubt it.

:lol :lol

He's on his way to 500 homers he so good!
