« Pirates Make Offer To Snell | Main | Heyman's Latest: Crede, Ethier, Teixeira »

Odds and Ends: Garland, Linden, A-Rod

Time to round up various tidbits and rumors.

• Jon Garland says that unless his agent kept him in the dark, a long-term deal was never discussed with the White Sox.  But in the unlikely event the Sox pursue Garland this winter, he'll listen.  Here's a look others who will be free agents after this season and under 30 years old for '09.
• We've heard the Brandon Inge/Joe Crede rumors regarding the Dodgers.  Tony Jackson speculates that Wes Helms or Jeff Cirillo could also be options.
• Paul Sullivan says Aaron Rowand was the Cubs' Plan B to Kosuke Fukudome.
• ShysterBall can't figure out why the Cubs would go after Coco Crisp.
• Todd Linden is mashing so far this spring, but he gets the feeling he won't make the A's.  The 27 year-old switch-hitter has a Major League line of .231/.303/.335 in 502 ABs.
• Jon Heyman has an inside look at Alex Rodriguez's offseason adventure.
• In addition to the aforementioned Brandon Medders and Dustin Nippert, Arizona's Edgar Gonzalez is out of options and has drawn interest.
