JJ Putz ('00) was involved in that big three-team trade last year that sent him from Seattle to the New York Mets...an injury-shortened 2009 with the Mets. There are a pair of new items over the weekend that pertain to the former Rattler. Neither are surprising. Item #1 As expected, the Mets declined reliever J.J. Putz's $9.1 million option for 2010 on Friday, opting instead to buy out his contract...

Look, you’re being too short-sighted here. Getting a big bat would be great, but this is a contract year for Josh Beckett and we don’t know what we’ll have in Daisuke Matsuzaka. Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz are great, but two guys does not a rotation make. What are we gonna do if Beckett flies [...]

Colleague Larry Stone had on the fact that Felix Hernandez was blanked in Players' Choice Awards voting by his fellow ballplayers. They chose Zack Greinke, Roy Halladay and C.C. Sabathia as the three finalists for top AL pitcher.My first reaction was: this is why they don't let players pick the major awards.I mean, we've seen coaches mess up the Gold Gloves for years.For all the grief the BBWAA writers...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – All this Cy Young talk is wearing on Zack Greinke. Even when it comes from the hometown fans, Kansas City's attention-shy ace doesn't want to hear it.
