GM Mets Unlikely To Sign Cano - RealGM Wiretap

The New York Mets have acknowledged meeting with Jay-Z and his associates about Robinson Cano on Monday night adidas stan smith dámské , but Sandy Alderson says the likelihood of signing the second baseman is extremely low.

"They requested a meeting," Alderson said. "We had a nice dinner. They made a presentation. We talked generally. And that was it. As I said, we were approached."

On the other hand, we are committed to improving the team. And we will explore whatever possibilities arise, however remote the eventual outcome."

Smoltz Suggests Braves Save Hudson Medlen For Division Series - RealGM Wiretap

John Smoltz knows the thought is unconventional adidas supercolor ruzove , but he thinks the Braves should save Tim Hudson and Kris Medlen for the National League Division Series.

The problem is that as a likely Wild Card entrant, Atlanta would have to win a one-game playoff in order to advance to the NLDS.

Smoltz theorizes that the risk is worth taking because the Braves stand a better chance of winning a World Series with Medlen and Hudson lined up to pitch in the first round.

"I know it's unconventional," he said. "I know it's outside the box, and I know I'd get fired if I was the manager. But this is what I would do if I was the Atlanta Braves."
