Guest Summaries:
Perry discussed the Yankees naming Joe Girardi as their new manager, the rumors of Joe Torre going to the Dodgers, possible A-Rod destinations, and reviewed the ATL/DET trade yesterday. Abraham broke the story about Joe Torre possibly becoming the new Dodgers manager and he discussed that possibility, as well as the Girardi signing in NY, and the negotations between the Yankees and Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera. Bowman analyzed the Braves trade with Detroit. Despite Edgar Renteria being a significant loss, the acquisition of Jair Jurrjens is great for the Braves by adding youth and pitching depth. Baumbach talked about Girardi being a good decision by the Yankees and how it has spared the potential ruining of the legacy of Don Mattingly in NY. He also talked about the various pieces the Yankees can afford now that they don't have A-Rod's contract. Jackson analyzed the Dodgers' side of the Joe Torre as manager rumors, saying that while some sources have said it's almost a certainty, others have flat out denied it. He also talked about A-Rod being a good fit in LA. Benjamin gave her impressions of the Boston Rolling Rally held this afternoon, as well as Jonathan Papelbon's dance maneuvers in front of the crowd.
