Rays Close In On Deal With Pat Burrell

According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, the Tampa Bay Rays and outfielder Pat Burrell are getting closer and closer to reaching a deal possibly worth two years and $16MM.

Burrell who is 32 years old, batted .250 for the World Champion Phillies last season, and tallied 33 homeruns and 86 total RBIs overall in 2008. Burrell has never played for another team except the Phillies in his 9-year career.

If Burrell does eventually reach a deal with the Rays, he will be accompanied in the outfield by players such as Carl Crawford and B.J. Upton. The Rays may also use Burrell at the DH position.

As a Phillies fan, it will be sad to see him leave..and life goes on.

Five Best Records in MLB…. Who and Why?

An article written by the bleacher report.

In a division in where the Mets, Phillies, and possibly the Braves were supposed to battle it out, the Marlins are winning with a team salary of $22.65 million. 

Do you know what other teams have chosen to do with that kind of money?  Let’s start with the Yankees.  We all know that Alex Rodriguez is making more money this year than the whole Marlins squad, but did you know that Jason Giambi was too? 

Giambi is scheduled to collect $23.48 million this year.  That is crazy! 

What would a team like the LA Dodgers do with $22.65 million? I’m glad you asked. 

Nice article guys!!
