Pirates Reportedly Could Send Cash To Padres To Finish Ryan Ludwick Deal

Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune says that the Padres might just take cash from the Bucs to complete the Ryan Ludwick trade, rather than grabbing a player to be named later. Not that we thought it would be otherwise, but this looks like evidence that, if the Pirates do give up a player, it won't be a prospect.
Also, he notes that the Padres might pursue Paul Maholm.

Speaking of which
Who the hell IS getting Fielder? I know alot of the big market clubs aren’t pursuing him because they already have a 1B and i’ve heard the Mariners a few times.

I’ve got the same feeling, sadly. I know they don’t have the money, but I can’t kick the idea.

Nats huh? Interesting.

Tom Boswell wrote a rare, coherent column today noting that the Gnats will soon have Mike Morse, Bryce Harper and Jay$on Werth in the majors. None of them is really suited to CF and there are a bunch of CFs coming on the market next year. If they sign Prince, they have no place for overflow. (Morse has already played some at first.)
Occupy MLB! Down with Seligula!
Boswell actually wrote a column blasting the Nats’ owners for refusing to let Rizzo make any big signings or—and he specifically said this—trade prospects for veterans. Literally within hours after the column was published, the Nats traded for Gio. The next day Boswell wrote a column that never admitted he was wrong, but that implied that the Nats made the trade because of his first column.
Occupy MLB! Down with Seligula!
Hmmm.
I bet Bob Nutting is upset, he was going to use that cash to buy another ivory backscratcher!

Completely unrelated to baseball
But a friend is a large animal vet who was recently in Africa. Among other things they were cutting horns off of some rhinos to deter poachers. He linked a photo of about a 3-inch spike of rhino tusk and claimed that the streat value of that piece to be around $2.2 million. I had no idea that ivory/large mammal tusks were SOOOOOOO valuable.
Lots of screwheads in Asia think they’re aphrodisiacs. The same primitives think ground up tiger bones make men more virile. That’s why there won’t be any tigers or rhinos in the wild soon. A game warden in India can make more than a year’s salary selling one tiger to poachers.

You can easily find countless references to this online, starting with wikipedia. There’s even a book about it entitled Tiger Bone & Rhino Horn. Empty-headed Asian “medicinal” superstitions are the primary reason these species are doomed.

Was McKenry just cash too?
I think the 6 months has already run out on that trade. Didn’t hear anything so I assume it was.
They
didn’t give us Mike for free?

No cash or a PTBNL
From wikipedia:
On June 13, 2011, he was traded to the Pirates for cash or a player to be named later

Since 6 months has now passed...
and we haven’t seen any players move in that direction…we can assume that the Pirates sent the Red Sox some cash.
I always wanted to see Kevin Cash chosen as a PTBNL.

Correction, it should read Not free cash or a PTBNL
