Lefty reliever Ron Mahay is drawing plenty of interest from contenders seeking to bolster their bullpen. He improved to 4-0 and lowered his ERA to 2.13 by pitching two scoreless innings Monday night when the Royals rallied for a 6-5 victory over the Orioles in 11 innings. The Tigers, Yankees, Red Sox, Marlins and Rays are all known to be shopping for relievers. The Yankees made a strong run last winter to sign Mahay as a free agent before he chose the Royals.

He's a cheaper version of Brian Fuentes.

I'd take him in St Louis in a heartbeat. Anything is an improvement over Ron Villone and Randy Flores.

Detroit being a contender is yet TBD...

I know I was feeling stressed until I saw that picture of Mahay above. What a relief...

Sounds like someone doesn't want the pressure of pitching for a contender.

Or.....maybe he just didn't want to pitch in NY

Once again, the Royals aren't looking to trade away talent. They are serious about building a winning team. I don't look for them to trade any talent unless they are very deep in that position.

I hope you are correct about that..... I'd hate to see KC start unloading talent. As I've said before on these threads, I don't think they are far away, andn KC deserves a contender.

Detroit trade for Mahay? Seriously? did I miss something or did my club just get to .500 the other day? What would we trade to the Royals?

His record and low ERA look good, but he walks a lot of batters at the wrong time....at least he did when he was with ATL last year.
