SILLY SEASON - 11/2

**The Yankees have declined the option on Damasco Marte. I guess $6 million was too much for a lefty reliever. Yeah, like they're falling off the trees out there. They could still resign him, though.
**Rumor has it that the Yanks will throw 6 years at $23 million/year at Sabbathia. The Brewers immediately offered CC the ownership of Miller Park Field.
**Scott Boras is Teixeira's agent. With the Yanks, Red Sox, Angels & Orioles extremely interested in Mark, Boras reportedly drooled so hard, he drowned two assistants.
**After a totally disappointing 2008 season, The Colorado Rockies say they are willing to trade everyone including Larry Walker, who retired 3 years ago.
**Rumors persist that Manny wants to go to the Yanks, just to hurt the Red Sox. Didn't he do that last year?
**The "World Series Neutral Site in a warm climate" talk is starting up again. Picasners opinion: NO!! There is a much better solution; start earlier.

The winter General Managers meetings start tomorrow. Expect nothing major to come out of it since there is so much money involved, I'm sure the owners will want some input. We may see some minor trades but that's about it.
