Odds and Ends: Jose Lopez, Green, Silva, Fukumori

By Tim Dierkes [December 4, 2007 at 4:47pm CST]

Let's round a few more rumors up, because they just don't stop coming.

Says Jim Molony: no less than 10 teams have expressed interest in Carlos Silva. Weak - 11 have expressed interest in Bedard, loser.

Other guys in the 10 interested teams club - Livan Hernandez and Kazuo Fukumori. At least, that's where their agents would like everyone to think.

The Padres can only afford one of Mike Cameron and Kosuke Fukudome. They think Fukudome can play an adequate center. Kevin Towers is still in talks with Cameron.

The Mariners are shopping Jose Lopez, who Jeff Passan names as a possible non-tender. However Lopez already is already all tendered up through 2010 on a long-term pact. So to ditch him the Ms would have to trade him or else cut him and eat the money, Russ Ortiz style.

Passan suggests the Rays might prefer to go with Shawn Green for their right field vacancy, as Geoff Jenkins and Brad Wilkerson want multiyear deals. The Giants also like Green, for some reason. Nick Cafardo suggests Trot Nixon could be the guy behind the guy for the Rays.

It's really remarkable that we have such a historically strong trade market and pathetic, awful free agent market.

It was a joke.

I know very little about Jose Lopez outside the fact that he just turned 24 about a week ago.

Query - why do teams seem to give up on so many players when they are only 23 or 24? Its not like these guys are in their prime or anything.

Just a dumb joke man

The White Sox should get Jose Lopez and then have Lopez and Danny Richar duke it out for the second base spot. It isn't ideal but itd be cheap and could end up working out well. They could probably get him for David Aardsma or something like that
