Around the majors, SB Nation style!

We know our New York Yankees are the only team that really matters. There are, however, 29 other major league teams out there.
I thought that, throughout the off-season, we should tour the other SB Nation baseball blogs and see what is going on with those other teams who are trying to catch up to our World Champion Yankees.
- Lookout Landing has information on the Seattle Mariners signing of Chone Figgins in posts here and here. SBN's Angels blog, Halos Heaven, has posted a Figgins Appreciation Thread. Personally, I'm glad the guy is out of Anaheim.
- Athletics Nation analyzes the team's trade for Jake Fox. Maybe I'm out of touch, but I had never even heard of the guy.
- BlueBird Banter is polling its readers on Edgar Martinez' Hall of Fame worthiness.
- Over The Monster discusses Mike Lowell, whom the Red Sox seemingly aren't sure what to do with.
- Bleed Cubbie Blue says Mike Cameron is drawing interest from the Cubs.
- Don't forget to frequent MLB Daily Dish to keep up with the latest rumors and transactions from the Hot Stove.

So yet another year where the Sux don't know what to do with Lowell
there’s a shock.
So the M’s got Figgins? Thats the first big move (sort of) of this offseason. It took until December 4th to happen. Thats longer than usual (although the CC/Burnett signing was late last year too). Sad too. I wish Figgins could have stayed on the market for a bit longer, because he would have been a nice option to have for LF if Damon doesn’t return.
It's a depressed market
as evident of the Polanco and Scutaro signings. Chone Figgins took long-term security (4-yrs. + 1 yr. option) for less money than he would otherwise get for a shorter contract. His bat would’ve been nice in the Yankees’ lineup but his LF defense is suspect and wouldn’t be much of an upgrade over Johnny Damon’s.

If I remember correctly,
Jake Fox was one of the Cub’s “Super-prospects”….. well… it all depends on your definition I guess, because they thought Felix Pie was a super-prospect too…
well it is the Cubs...
as long as it’s been since they’ve won, at this point they could someone with the talent of Nady looks like the second-coming of Mickey Mantle.

Mike Lowell
I love how they keep trying to get rid of him even though he’s produced every year they’ve had him.
An actual good thread
on Halos Heaven trying to pay tribute to their departed player (to another team). Too bad they have jerks that ruin their site’s atmosphere.
