12/17 - THT Live: What’s the matt» by Jeremy Greenhouse

Saturday, February 28, 2009

News: Cruz has signed a two-year, $6 million deal with the Royals, Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports.

Analysis: As a team with one of the 15 worst records in the league last season, the Royals didn't have to give up a first-round draft pick as compensation and they'll give Arizona a second-round selection instead. Cruz and Kyle Farnsworth provide the Royals with a strong duo of set-up men in front of closer Joakim Soria.

Monday, February 23, 2009

News: Cruz remains in limbo as there hasn't been any significant progress in a proposed sign-and-trade deal with the Twins, the Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis: "It is unique," general manager Josh Byrnes said. "As much as there's always been discussion of trading draft picks, if we get to that point if would be two clubs at least sort of comparing the value of draft picks to something with names associated with it." A trade where the league allows the D-Backs to sign and trade the free agent pitcher to bypass the fact that they may not receive compensation otherwise would open up a large can of worms, so it's possible that this rumored trade won't happen at all. Stay tuned.
