Hardy-for-Carlos Gomez trade, most of you said that you didn’t like the deal because Hardy should have brought more in return, or at least a starting pitcher for next season. For the past week or so, we’ve heard rumors that Hardy could’ve [...]

The Minnesota Twins didn't wait very long after being knocked out of the 2009 playoffs to begin working on their 2010 team. They made a trade that not only alleviated the surplus of outfielders on the roster but also may have filled their shortstop position for years to come when they sent Carlos Gomez to the Milwaukee Brewers for J.J.

The Bucs offered Matt Capps to the Brew Crew. Gomez, Hardy, and Capps are all coming off down seasons, so I suppose it [...]
