Tonight on The Baseball Show, co-host Clint Evans of Diamond Hoggers and I have a relatively short show. As always, we bring the solid and hardcore baseball talk for your enjoyment.

Topics of discussion:
–Jayson Werth‘s new contract
-Thoughts on Cliff Lee
-My thoughts on the White Sox offering Gordon Beckham for Adrian Gonzalez
-Reaction to the Prince Fielder rumors
-Who is the safest man in baseball (in terms of being traded)?
-Have we seen the last of Garry Sheffield and Manny Ramirez?
