Bradley

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->The Rays have become the "clear-cut favorite" to acquire Milton Bradley from the Cubs, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
The two parties have been linked for a while, with Pat Burrell-for-Bradley as the rumored swap. Bradley is owed $21 million over the next two seasons while Burrell will make $9 million in 2010. The difference in contracts has reportedly been the biggest stumbling block on a deal. Nov. 19 - 12:47 pm e<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->The Yankees are "quietly" letting teams know that Nick Swisher is available, says Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
Swisher is owed $15.75 million over the next two seasons, with a $10.25 club option for 2012, a pretty reasonable contract considering what he was worth in 2009. The 28-year-old outfielder batted .249/.371/.498 with 29 homers, 89 RBI with a career-high .869 OPS. Remember, the Yankees dangled Swisher in trade talks after acquiring him last winter, so it's no surprise to see his name come up again. We're a long way from seeing him being dealt, but the Yankees could have a say in Matt Holliday or Jason Bay after all.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Bradley for Swisher? Just to give Butch an annyuerism.
