Thursday's Rumorfest and Some Facts
Apparently no one told the Seattle Mariners that they would be calling up Adam Jones to be the every day right fielder. Word came out earlier in the week that Jones would be up, Jose Guillen would move to left, Raul Ibanez to DH, and Jose Vidro to the bench. Except the M's have no plans to do that right now. "I haven't heard anything about Jones coming up," manager John McLaren said. "I haven't heard anything about it at all."
The Mets have fired hitting coach Rick Down. This guy just takes a beating in the Big Apple, having been fired 3 times combined between the Mets and Yankees. Rickey Henderson has been added as a full-time coach, but there's no official word as to his exact position (playing in the clubhouse card games?).
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the A's are ready to scrap their plans to have Mike Piazza back behind the plate because the preparation is taking too long. The A's would then likely try to deal Piazza.
The New York Post is reporting that the Mets will recall Lastings Milledge this week and install him as the every day left fielder for the time being.
Roy Oswalt has told the Houston Astros that he would waive his no-trade clause if moving him would be in the best interest of the team. You can bet there will be a big time bidding war for Oswalt's services. Source.
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported yesterday that the Indians and DH Travis Hafner have agreed on a 4 year contract extension worth $57 million.
