I'd say no chance but teams are going crazy.

Who needs a closer?

I wonder what his 12 teams are?

Steaks said it is 12 teams, not 8.

He likely had to stipulate those teams after the season so at least they have knowledge of where he would go. I'm sure he could be given incentives to accept anyway.

Heyman says some people want him out of the clubhouse.

12 teams?

YEAH ME

Wherever he goes he'll win Rolaids Relief Award

I don't think it's a coincidence that the rumblings about clubhouse issues started after Papelbon came to Philly. The guy is a piece of shit.

Approved. If the team is love is going to blow (and this team is going to blow), I'd prefer it be with people who don't completely hate.

Morrison for Paps! Problem solved for both teams.

This news can only be considered great.

That said, I doubt it happens because I don't see Smug willing to eat the dollars or give away the player, at least one of which would be required. It's too much like admitting he made a horrible, obvious mistake.

Send him to the Yankees, they have money to spend.

I totally could see the Yankees trading for Paps. I'd pretty much give him away if they took the money

Who is their closer?

I think he goes to the Yankees. Half to fuck with Boston, half because the Yankees probably think he's mental enough to not care that he's following Rivera.

Rube would probably take back Vernon Wells or Ichiro.

That's hysterical... was just writing the same thing.
