It can't be straight up. There has to be something other than Carlos Silva coming back.

I hope so, but I don't see it happening. Their salaries are basically a wash.

Larry STone

Not really sure who exactly he is, but he's reporting it out of Seattle.

Here's another report of it:

I can swallow this if we're getting Lopez. Otherwise, point me to Hendry's home so I can firebomb it.

[Fella]

We have to be saving some money, Silva is owed more than Bradley. If it was a straight deal we would have been better off just cutting Bradley.

agreed. I would actually like the deal if Lopez was included.

So does this mean that we don't even have the payroll to sign Byrd? I'm struggling to envision a worse outcome to this entire debacle

Am I missing something here? I haven't seen anything indicating Lopez may be included in the deal. Also, Lopez doesn't seem very impressive to me. He's got a career .303 OBP.
