Leadoff Spot Leads Carpenter Down Leadoff

Tracy took over for Clint Hurdle during the 2009 season and went on to win National League Manager of the Year after leading the Rockies to a 74-42 record the rest of the way.

 

In November 2009, he agreed to a three-year contract extension that runs through the end of this season.

 

Fort Myers, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox have acquired pitcher Chris Carpenter and a player to be named later from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for a player to be named later. The Red Sox also placed right-handed pitcher Bobby Jenks on the 60-day disabled list as he recovers from back surgery, which took place on December 30.

 

Originally selected by the Cubs in the third round of the 2008 draft, Carpenter has a 21-19 record with two saves and a 3.62 ERA in 96 career minor league games (60 starts) in Chicago's system.

 

Lake Buena Vista, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Atlanta Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson suffered a mild concussion after being involved in a one-car accident on Monday. Hanson was on his way to the club's spring training camp in Florida on Monday when a tire blew out on his vehicle. He may have hit his head on the steering wheel, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said.

 

Hanson was 11-7 with a 3.60 earned run average in 22 starts last season, but missed most of the final two months because of shoulder problems.

 

Other candidates that were reportedly in the mix were former Yankees Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui.

 

The Yankees were able to free up some money to add a bat this past weekend when they finalized a trade that sent pitcher A.J. Burnett to Pittsburgh.

 

In 1,817 games over 16 seasons with Seattle, Kansas City and Philadelphia, Ibanez has 252 homers, 1,054 runs batted in and a .280 batting average. He was an All-Star for the first and only time with the Phillies in 2009, and appeared in the playoffs with Philadelphia each of the last three years.

 

"I am pleased that the Cubs and Red Sox have resolved this matter," said baseball commissioner Bud Selig in a statement. "It has always been my preference that clubs resolve matters like this amongst themselves, as they understand their unique circumstances better than anyone else could."

•    Seeing the Cubs trade a real player for Theo is pretty weird. Do the Red Sox come out ahead in that deal? Maybe.
