Blog Kiosk: 5/4/2012

Welcome to the Blue, Bobby Abreau.  Obviously, he won't be a everyday starter like he wanted to be with the Angels.  Maybe the general lack of interest caused him to reevaluate his position, or maybe he just wanted out of Anaheim.  Via a Dodgers Press Release:
The Los Angeles Dodgers today announced the signing of outfielder Bobby Abreu to a one-year contract and optioned infielder Justin Sellers to Triple-A Albuquerque. General Manager Ned Colletti made the announcement.
“Bobby has consistently performed throughout his career and brings his winning experience to the clubhouse,” said Colletti. “He gives us a left-handed bat off the bench and will also see time in the outfield. He has been a very good hitter throughout his career, he knows how to work a count and has been a run producer.”

  • Maury Brown at the Biz of Baseball tells us how much Selig disliked McCourt. (Hat Tip: 6-4-2)

For those counting, that’s seven all-too-clear comments about Selig’s dislike for McCourt. Along with the comments, there is the absence of any positive statements about McCourt, something that Selig and the league nearly always do when there is an outgoing owner.
