Reports indicate Erv Santana wants 100 mill, Nolasco 80 mill For slightly above average guys. No doubt the Twins will pass, and go for rehabs and bargain bin guys at these prices.

Reports are out the Cards will try and improve their SS spot,pursue Tulowitzki/Andrus/Provar. Must be nice to have depth and a team that sees a need and actually will try to fill it with REAL talent.

Cool: As if winning the World Series MVP wasn't enough, Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz is becoming a producer of his own MTV television show. MTV Networks and Major League Baseball said Monday they are collaborating on a weekly 30-episode series that melds pop culture and baseball. Ortiz and Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star outfielder Andrew McCutchen are both executive producers of the series, set to begin next spring around the start of the new season. The untitled series will likely air on MTV2, which tends to have a higher proportion of male viewers than its sister station. It will be shot at the MLB Fan Cave, a facility built at an abandoned Tower Records store in Manhattan that has fan features, interactive elements and occasional pop music concerts. MTV had expressed interest in Ortiz after seeing a fan cave feature depicting him walking through enemy territory in New York asking Yankee fans for a hug, said Tim Brosnan, MLB executive vice president for business.

Unbelievable: The Braves announced Monday morning that they'll abandon Turner Field, which opened in 1997, and play at a new facility starting in 2017. I was just at Turner Field on July 4. It's a nice stadium. I guess the issue is they built it in the wrong part of town, which is probably true. But I really did like Turner Field despite its location. Weird, though, that they will build the new stadium 19 miles north of downtown. That's a departure from the trend of building new ballparks downtown.

They're describing Josh Johnson as low-risk high-reward at 8 mill for the season. TRyan probably puked in his mouth at "that kind of money".

[:-][:-][:-][:-][:-][:-][:-] The Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers agreed to a deal sending Tigers first baseman Prince Fielder to Texas for second baseman Ian Kinsler, reports CBSSports.com’s Jon Heyman.

8:23pm: Detroit will be sending $30MM to Texas, tweets Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports. With that cash, Texas will effectively be paying Fielder $138MM over seven years. From the Tigers' side of things, they'll have a total savings of $76MM.

With that trade you may as well take Sherzer off the Market. Tigers wont let him get away now.

Great trade for the Tigers. Fielder's contract is going to be an albatross in short order. Arlington should make it look decent for the Rangers for a few years, but $24 million per for Fielder 5-7 years from now? Yikes.
