Some big news for other AL Central clubs today:
Terry Ryan named interim GM of Twins, replacing Bill Smith | MLB.com: News
This was a shock, especially given the timing. Usually a GM is canned either towards the end of the regular season or right after it. The Twins had their first losing season under Smith in 2011, but apparently the 63-99 record (with a $113M payroll) was horrible enough to justify removing Smith. Terry Ryan, who was Minnesota's GM from 1994-2007 will take over on an interim basis.
Royals get Sanchez from Giants for Cabrera - KansasCity.com
The Royals dealt Melky Cabrera for talented but wild Jonathan Sanchez and Ryan Verdugo, a left-handed relief prospect. Both Cabrera and Sanchez are one year away from free agency. The Royals will probably use Lorenzo Cain to replace Cabrera in the outfield next season. Sanchez struck out 9.1 per 9 innings in 2011, but also walked 5.9 per 9, and spent time on the DL.

Apparently the Phillies are close to signing Ryan Madson to what seems like a crazy large, 4yr-$44M deal with a 5th year vesting option ($13M). That has to help the trade market for any of our reliever, right?
Concerning RoY, I’m still pissed at Acta for needlessly undermining Kipnis’ rookie status for next year (for my fantasy team, among other reasons) by playing him every game and doubleheader down the stretch. Could he not have skipped 7 ABs to keep his rookie status alive?
If sms abbreviations were permitted I would insert one here. I’m still laughing.
Can we strike this one from the books?
Ah well – will take it when deserved.

Oops, my bad! We have a new member over at DBN named Doc’s Kid (who happens to be a real-life friend of mine) and I just kind of skimmed over the username.
