I wonder if location had any effect, other than the crazy salary, on Zio's decision. Not telling anyone anything they don't already know, but SF is right across teh bay from oakland and he may just like to be there.
Now, as far as trading for another pitcher, who really is available. Obviously, almost anyone can be had, but there is such a thin level of great starting pitching that no team will part with an Ace. Oswalt is goign no where. Zambrano same thing. they signed Soriano and hired Pinella as their manager, they need him. Willis, may be had, but I just do not thinks so.
But, the real shocker of this whole thing is that the Foot was scooped. I can see if a guy like Gammons got him, but Galt?
