A pretty entertaining debate going on over at NYYFans over my admittedly vague rumor that there was a "head-spinning deal." I always enjoy being called a bozo, but occasionally, I deserve it. I'm still not sure on this one and I'm still trying to figure out when to bring out the stuff I hear. Should it be the same standard here as it is on BP? I still don't have enough to bring out the full rumor - and it is just rumor, from a decent source - but I'll confirm that it's a free agent move and does not involve Giambi, except tangentially.
I'll also spell things out on my Giambi comment ... later this week over at BP. Remember, all my injury info goes there.
Interesting article at the Times today on Rose. I think we all see where this is ... well, I'm not sure either anymore. The deal's done, but Selig still has enough wiggle room to NOT complete it. 500k books printed is Grisham territory and I'm not sure anyone can hype something that much with nothing behind it.
