The first article is about Red Sox outfielder Mike Cameron. There are some rumors going around that the Red Sox might trade the veteran outfielder for a cheaper option or a younger, fourth outfielder. On the first day of spring training, Cameron was asked his thoughts on the possibility of him leaving Boston after just one year. Cameron came out and said that he does not want to leave. He doesn't want to go to a worse team and have the same role that he has there in Boston. Cameron went on to say that Boston has treated him right and that he doesn't want to miss out the chance to win a championship with the new look Red Sox. The Red Sox have aquired two All Stars in Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez. Cameron wants to stay in Boston, have a good year, and hopefully, win a championship with the team. Rumors have been floating around on the possibility of Cameron being traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks who have not had a good season in years. When asked about the possibility of him going to Arizona, Cameron responded with,"Why would I want to go there and have the same role that I have here in Boston?" Basically, Cameron is saying that he doesn't want to go to a bad team, such as Arizona, and do the same exact thing that he had been doing in Boston. Who knows what will happen the Cameron. He knows that baseball is a business and sometimes you have to do what you have to do to win.
Last night at about 11 o'clock at night a blockbuster trade was done in the NBA. The highlight of the trade was Carmelo Anthony. Melo, had been looking to get out of Denver since the start of the season. Melo knew that his chances of winning a championship in Denver were slim and he really wanted to go. For the past couple weeks, rumors have been flying around of Melo going to the Nets, then the Lakers, and now a deal has been done. But it is not with either of those two teams. Melo was dealt to the New York Knicks last night. Along with Melo going to New York is Denver teammate Chauncey Billups. Melo and Billups will be teaming up with the new Knick in Amare Stodimare. Billups is way past his prime but with those 3 teaming up, teams in the east have a reason to be concerned. In my opinion, I don't think this was a good deal on the Knicks part. After this trade, they now have no one to back up Melo, Amare, or Billups which could cause for a problem. These players might get tired quickly and it could affect their play. We will jsut have to wait and see how the Knicks turn out to be in a few months and possibly, see them in the playoffs?
