It might not happen until sometime during spring training, but the Wilpons simply aren't going to pay. I only care a little, because I have the feeling that Bruce, despite the power numbers and all-star appearances, is essentially a net-neutral in a lineup. I have no faith that we'll be getting much out of Granderson this season, and I really don't want to watch them both going all or (mostly) nothing all season. I also don't believe for a minute that Sandy will be bringing in any new position players this offseason. My sincere hope then is for a breakout year for Lagares. There is little hope of this, however, since TC will undoubtedly be trotting Grandy out there vs all righties, even if he's hitting .150 through August - which is not entirely out of the question.

It's almost as if some teams WANT to improve their rosters to prepare for the upcoming season.<br /><br />Given that thankfully every other GM is not Sandy Alderson, perhaps the market for Bruce is bigger than originally thought. Trumbo set the bar at $12.5 million per season for 3 years. Bruce at $13 million for one year might be palatable for someone looking for a short term solution.
