A Tidbit
Sources say 3B Chone Figgins takes his physical tomorrow and will be a Mariner by the evening. Also, don;t be surprise if the M’s target John Lackey and Jason Bay.
Reliever Rafael Betancourt is going to finally accept the Rockies arbitration offer.
The Marlins are exploring dealing closer Matt Lindstrom. Lindstrom went 2-1 with a 5.89 ERA. He struggled mid-season closing for the Marlins. The Rays are rumored to be the interest.
If the Yanks choose to non-tender SP Chien Ming-Wang, the Dodgers will be interested in signing him, says Ken Davidoff. The Red Sox fan in me wants Wang to stay around after watching his meltdown last season.
The Mets have interest in OF Josh Willingham. Maybe that would be a move worth making, Omar?
The Royals are attempting to strike a deal with Cuban defector Noel Arguelles. The deal would be worth $7M/5yrs. Arguelles has a great fastball (94MPH).
This week should pick up with winter meetings starting tomorrow. I’m hoping for my Sox to make some big strides in the pen and outfield. I think the Phillies may get a reliever, but that would be it. The Mets should be poised to get something big because signing Coste and Blanco sure as hell didn’t make the team any better.
