Eli's MLB Rumors:
- The Tigers have placed Kenny Rogers on waivers and hope to trade him to a contender before the September 1st deadline. However, no contender is desperate for starting pitching, so he might be hard to trade. The Mets and Yankees make some sense, but any trade is unlikely.
- Braves outfielder is drawing interest from the Phillies and Red Sox. The Braves are probably more familiar with the Phillies farm system, so a trade there makes a little more sense. However, don't rule out the Red Sox out of desperation.
- Blue Jays fans argue whether or not to keep GM J.P. Ricciardi. He deserves the right to finish out his contract and see his smart draft choices develop into major leaguers. They could be the surprise team in 2010, lead by prospects Travis Snider and J.P. Arenciba, both whom drafted by Ricciardi.
- Giants Beat Writer Andrew Baggarly thinks the Giants should take a chance on Mark Mulder. A one year, incentive base contract could really help the Giants. Don't forget they would reunite Mulder and Zito.
- The Mets, Brewers, and Cubs are all possibilities for Mike Lamb, who was designated for assignment.

Namely, its mistakes. Rogers, who once threw a cameraman to the ground for having the temerity to, yes, videotape him, also said the rush to [...]

Bite your tongue Tim, I say this in jest because one of my favorite sites is MLBTR and Tim Dierkes does a wonderful job. But Today he posted about Kenny Rogers being placed on waivers and if he makes it through, he might be a good fit for the Mets with Maine down. From a baseball point of view it makes sense but as a Mets fan I want to see Rogers back in a Mets uniform as much as...

Mike Lamb was placed on waivers by the Twins to make room for everyday Eddie Guardado. Lamb signed a two year deal during the off season and has struggled in his return to the American league in which he's only hitting .233. Lamb was much more successful in the National league with the Stros where he hit around .280 over four years. The 33 y/o left handed hitting player is a...
