Astacio

Mark Lancaster, the Reds beat writer for the Cincy Frontier, posted on his blog this afternoon that the Reds have dropped out of the running for Pedro Astacio. According to him, Wayne Krivsky (the Reds' new GM) said that some unidentified other team (Krivsky didn't know who) other team had entered bidding for Astacio and drove the asking price way above what he was willing to pay. The only way this could have more of Dave Littlefield's handwriting on it would be if Littlefield publicly acknowledged he entered the bidding for Astacio (which, of course, he can't do because he's still busy pretending Wells might be back this year).

Thanks to the ever generous Red Hot Mama for the tip.
