Royals/Diamondbacks agree to deal.

[Colby]

Anthony has resigned from Franchise GM, so the Bloomquist extension will be a 1-year deal.

 

[Colby]

Anthony will have to sign MI Bloomquist, Willie RFA to $500k for 1 or 2 years.

The Royals give:
MI Bloomquist, Willie RFA
5th round pick in the 2010 entry draft

The Diamondbacks give:
P Parker, Jarrod, $0.5m (P-n/a)

 

This deal forces Anthony into the same situation that I was in with Huff.  He will have the option of replacing one of his other RFA or signing Bloomquist to an extension based on the new values (not finalized yet).

I'm thinking Parker is still going to be a great pitcher, but

I'll approve. Better to have Andrews than, say, Kevorkian.
