Winter Meeting Rumblings

Quick notes from Tuesday's news:

It appears as if CC Sabathia will be going to New York to the tune of 160 million dollars. No way the Dodgers could match that offer, and no reason they should attempted to.

The Dodgers were aware of Jason Schmidt's injury problems before signing him. While every players certainly has nagging problems you don't want to mess around with a pitcher who has elbow or shoulder problems. Dodgers should have seen this one coming.

Also noted in the same article is that the Dodgers offered Furcal a contract; however, not for the four years that he is hoping for. Colletti declined to reveal the terms.

Additionally, Colletti has made it public that a few teams are inquring about Andruw Jones, although according to Colletti, "they'd ask for us to pick up the vast majority of his salary." Jones is currently owed $22 million dollars this season. How much is reasonable for the Dodgers to eat to rid themselves of Jones? If another club shells out $6 million dollars then I say ship him away and use that $6 million towards Manny.
