Coco Crisp

The New Year has truly rung in with Jon Heyman of CBS sports reporting our alleged interest in free-agent outfielder Coco Crisp (http://jon-heyman.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/33714192/34168175).

Mr. Heyman notes the Orioles may be a strong candidate in the Crisp sweepstakes as well as a plausibility in the Cards and Cubs, but who is the very first team Mr. Heyman denotes? Clearly there are leaks in the MYSTERY TEAM front office to let such matters be made public to Mr. Heyman.

However as the most active and prolific front office in Major League Baseball, MYSTERY TEAM understood it was only a matter of time before our team was linked to another free-agent to kick off the new year.

We hope Mr. Crisp makes a swift and just choice in his team selection. Be rest assured Mystery fans that we will be awaiting diligently by our phones if this outfield commodity chooses to return our call.

O's/Fielder

So being a diligent front office of the highest magnitude, MYSTERY TEAM stumbled across the rumblings of MASN Sport's Roch Kubatko. Of interest he noted the Orioles don't feel like being used for leverage to basically up the price for Prince for the Nationals.

Now let me say this, if anyone is going to be used by the media or Scott Boras to drive prices up on players, it's going to be us. Random, speculation driven interest is the biggest market MYSTERY TEAM plays in. That is our bread and butter.

So well kudos to the O's for possibly not wanting to be a part of price hiking tactics, but shame on them for playing our part. That's what we are here for and trust me, we will continue to be the basis of all agent tom-foolery and sports media speculation.
