Phils to agree to terms with FA Marlon Byrd (reportedly 2 yrs./$16M)

The oldest team in the NL just got older. Think the Brewers contending in 2014 is unrealistic? At least the Brewers lineup is mostly guys in their prime. Wonder what they'd offer for Ramirez?

EDIT 2: That deal is just... insane imo. Guess it kinda sheds light on the kind of trade value a guy like Gómez might have.

This signing has nothing to do with steroids or big market money power. It's just a stupid GM adding to his many already stupid mistakes.
