LUIS VALBUENA RUMORS
Kelly Johnson Accepts Arbitration From Blue Jays, Might Play LF?
Okay, so it looks like we’ve got ourselves a 2nd baseman. Sorry, Luis Valbuena.
While this decision from Johnson would have seemed very unlikely earlier this week (it seemed he would probably have gotten a multi-year deal from one team or another), things turned headed to last night’s arbitration acceptance deadline, with GM Alex Anthopoulos acknowledging that Johnson was, in...

Filling A Void? Blue Jays Acquire Luis Valbuena From Indians
I’m sort of playing a bit of catch-up here, but this move slipped by me over the weekend.
In any case, maybe acquiring Valbuena for cash wasn’t exactly the ideal need-filler for the Blue Jays here, but with Kelly Johnson likely to sign elsewhere, it was a good no-risk move to make. The 26-year old Valbuena stood to see little to no playing time in Cleveland, being stuck behind...

Could it Be? Luis Valbuena Drawing Interest from Seattle Mariners
For more than a month now, I’ve been trying to think of some scenario in which the Cleveland Indians would be able to pawn second baseman Luis Valbuena off on some other poor, unsuspecting team. But I haven’t come up with any ideas for who would want him, or a worthwhile return package that another GM wouldn’t think was a joke.

Do the Indians value Luis Valbuena?
When the Cleveland Indians acquired Luis Valbuena from Seattle in December of 2008, it was believed that the front office had answered the call to acquire middle-infield talent for the near-future. Valbuena brought from the Mariners a nice bat, an improving defense, a strong work ethic and a friendship with Asdrubal Cabrera. So, when Valbuena backed all of that up with a solid...
