Odds and Ends: Zimmerman, Tulo, Hawpe, Wang

Some bits and pieces from today...

• Damian Miller is leaning toward retirement, leaving Johnny Estrada as the one halfway viable catching option out there.
• Talks continue with Ryan Zimmerman on a long-term deal.  The Nationals and Zimmerman reportedly discussed this a year ago.
• Padres GM Kevin Towers is upfront about his inquiries on Matt Murton and Xavier Nady.  The Cubs aren't done, by the way.
• Troy Tulowitzki is able to void his contract if he'd traded.
• The Rockies have had preliminary talks with Brad Hawpe about a multiyear deal.  Tracy Ringoslby says they might aim for a four-year deal, buying out one year of free agency.  The 28 year-old hit .291/.387/.539 in '07.  He was a lot better at Coors and against righties.
• Anthony McCarron says a long-term deal with Chien-Ming Wang looks unlikely, and the Yankees may have to go to a hearing with him regarding his '08 salary.
