Red Sox acquire closer Andrew Bailey

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

The Boston Red Sox have found a replacement for closer Jonathan Papelbon.

Who are the top free agents, where are they most likely to land, and which players have already landed a deal?

His name: Andrew Bailey.


The Sox have acquired Bailey from the Oakland Athletics in a multi-player deal.


The Red Sox also obtained outfielder Ryan Sweeney, while giving up coveted outfielder Josh Reddick, third-base prospect Miles Head and pitching prospect Raul Alcantera.


Bailey, 27, is entering his first arbitration year and remains under club control for three more seasons. He will join fellow right-hander Mark Melancon in a revamped Red Sox bullpen.


The Sox lost Papelbon to the Philadelphia Phillies in free agency and plan to move right-hander Daniel Bard to the rotation.


Bailey was 24-for-26 in save opportunities last season, finishing with a 3.24 ERA after missing the first two months with a strained right forearm.




PSG to combat Chelsea for Brazilian goal machine

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

PSG remain the one other club that could currently face Chelsea for the signature of Brazilian hot shot Hulk.


The 25 year old has only just suggested that he would love to be reunited with his former Porto manager Andre Villas Boas at Stamford Bridge but with the club currently mulling over a move for Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Higuain, and a deal very much in place to bring Milos Krasic from Juventus, any move for the goal scorer will have to wait until the summer.


PSG’s new found wealth has unsettled the market somewhat with certain players now choosing the cash on offer in Paris as more of a incentive than joining a side in the hunt for top trophies. PSG were also the side who were able to tempt Chelsea target Javier Pastore into a Paris move last summer when it seemed almost certain at one stage that he would be heading to London.


Hulk’s admission though that he would like to join his old manager though will add weight to Chelsea’s chances regardless of how big a carrot the Parisian’s decide to dangle in front of him. A possible stumbling block will also be the transfer fee which Porto will demand and although he has a clause of close to £80m, a figure of £35m would seem more realistic.


Although both Chelsea and PSG would be able to pay that type of money purely as a transfer fee his wages will also add some uncertainty and his availability is likely to receive interest from other clubs too.




Chelsea defender could be used as makeweight in playmaker deal

Sunday, December 25th, 2011

Chelsea FC may use current centre-back Alex as a makewight as they try to land Krasic from Serie A side Juventus.


The Brazilian defender recently handed in a transfer request, rumoured to be due to fancying a warmer climate and with the West London side keen to land the Juve playmaker, Turin could be tempting to Alex for a switch.


Although Turin is perhaps not the warmest of Italian cities it could suit the player and with Chelsea looking to land 27 year old Krasic it would seem to make sense.


The agent of Milos Krasic has already claimed that he will be leaving the club this January with interest confirmed by both Chelsea and some fellow Italian sides. Although his value is not of the meteoric levels one has expected with Chelsea over the years his ability will be considered as required with the Stamford Bridge squad.


With Chelsea close to sealing a move for Bolton’s Gary Cahill, and Krasic’s arrival very likely, the New Year may bring better fortunes for Andre Villas Boas than the first hald of the season.




Arsenal still on the trail of international playmaker

Sunday, December 25th, 2011

Arsenal are still ready to move for France interntaional Yoann Gourcuff and have not ruled out a potential offer next summer.


The 25 year old has always been a player of interest to the Gunners but offers and possible moves have always failed to materialise in one way or the other. It believed that Gourcuff remains on the wanted list and should Lyon be prepared to sell the attack minded midfielder then a serious offer would be forthcoming.


Gourcuff first joined Lyon in 2010 from Bordeaux but has featured for the international side since 2008. His ability on the ball is something that would help Arsenal on a long term basis but with their squad cuurently larger than usual a January move is out of the question.


With Arsenal currently making their main aim in January to find a striker and a left-back, any move for Gourcuff will be put on ice until the summer transfer window reopens. Arsenal fans are likely to get a good chance to see the Frenchman in action when England arrive in the Ukraine for the Euro 2012 competition, France being one of England’s opponents in the group stage
