Jon Heyman's Daily Scoop has an out-loud question regarding Ed Wade's extension:
Maybe I'm being cynical, but I'm wondering if GM Ed Wade's two-year extension through 2012 is a clue that the Astros may be about to sell. It might be Drayton McLane's gift to Wade for being a good soldier (as opposed to a good GM) right before McLane unloads the team (and Wade). McLane has been in talks about selling the team to Harvey Schiller and Marc Isaacson.
What do you think?
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
