Dec. 6 -- ABOUT SCHMIDT

Jason Schmidt, one of the top pitchers available on the free-agent market, has agreed to a three-year, $47 million contract with the Dodgers. Makes you wonder how much money Barry Zito is going to get, doesn't it?

Also, more relevant to the Phillies: Another reliever is off the market after LHP Alan Embree has signed a two-year contract with the Athletics; the Indians put an end to the Joe Borowski situation by signing him to a one-year deal with a club option for 2008; as expected, OF David Dellucci finalized his three-year contract with the Indians.

Oh, and Barry Bonds is here. I guess his agent wanted him to make an appearance so that maybe some people will start talking about him.

Phils GM Pat Gillick (or one of his deputies, if he can't talk) will address reporters at 5 p.m. I'll have more after that.
