Sabean, on Yoenis Cespedes: “Price tag is beyond what his talent is”

According to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, outfielder Yoenis Cespedes will not be putting on the orange and black anytime soon.
The Giants had previously been rumored to possibly be in on Cespedes, who defected from Cuba...

Malware Contracts Continue to Infest the Giants' Hard Drive in 2012
The 2012 baseball season will be an economic crossroads for the San Francisco Giants. On the contract and player payroll front, two uncontrollable fiscal freight trains headed in opposite directions will soon merge onto the same tracks in an expensive explosion of greenbacks, champaign, and Texas Instruments calculators. On the Oakland A's relocation front, the Giants brain-trust...

He has one year left on his contract and the Giants still owe him 12 million for the upcoming season (minus the major...

Triptoe Through the Transactions
The MLB transaction wire is always a fun place in the off season.

Hot Stove News: Dontrelle To Phillies, Aramis To Brewers, Rowand To Marlins
A major-league source confirmed that the Phillies have agreed to a one-year deal for under $1 million dollars with Dontrelle Willis pending a physical.

Anyway, I’d be remiss if I didn’t pay my own tribute to Torres, as he’s a personal favorite of mine. So here goes…

With the Winter Meetings wrapping up, what is left for the Mets?
Although the Mets didn't chase after Reyes, they didn't lie down and do nothing this Winter. They brought up their back up plan (or first plan, unclear at this point) which is to 1) have a competitive team in 2012 (basically a team that doesn't give up) and 2) prepare to make a run at strong contention...
