Sheldon doesn't have the stones to report it until the physical is done.

Re: Ludwick Contract Offer/ Ludwick has deal with the Reds.

I'm hearing that the deal may or may not be done. More later. Or maybe not.

Re: Ludwick Contract Offer/ Ludwick has deal with the Reds.

Walt just said on the radio that it's very close, hopefully early next week (2 year deal).

In other words, it's done, but he hasn't taken a physical yet.

Re: Ludwick Contract Offer/ Ludwick has deal with the Reds.

Is Mark Sheldon's typewriter broke? That guy's new nickname is "Day Late, Dollar Short Sheldon."

Does he have email? Has he heard of the company Apple?

Mark, if you are reading this on your Commodore 64, it's time to upgrade, bud.

Good news! Now look at bolstering center.

Michael Bourn (not likely)
Jacoby Ellsbury (more likely, but not much)
Dexter Fowler
Coco Crisp
Gerardo Parra
David DeJesus

If Bruce to CF were a possibility:

Justin Upton
Shin-Soo Choo
Michael Morse

I've got no problem with that. Seems like a good deal for both sides.

Man.........Ludwick for 2.5 more per season than Gomes. I thought he'd get more.
