The Braves offered an offer and we accepted!

The Braves want to get a little speed and get some cap space so they offered Daisuke Matsuzaka for Emilio Bonfifacio. There will be a notification on who will take the 3B spot. Daisuke Matsuzaka had a few control problems in '08 and '09 and had an injury and put him on the DL last year. Now he has to prove that he is still a good pitcher. He will take over number 3 in rotation. Now Sean Hill the previous number 5 pitcher will be sent down to triple a in the regular season.

Red Sox and Nats go down to Business

Red Sox accepted an offer, the fourth transaction for this young Nats team. Nats exchange Veteren CF/RF Ken Griffy Jr. and rookie elidgible CF Sam Flud for RF/LF Jack Cust. This was a move the manager commented "We needed younger veterens so we traided our forty year old and rookie 28 year old for a 30 year old." The Nationals should be pleased with the traids and hopefully they can compete in the season better than last year.
