Odds and Ends: Jacque, Lee Hak-ju, Tavarez

By Tim Dierkes [May 14, 2008 at 8:51am CST]

Here's today's collection of links.

The Tigers weren't able to trade Jacque Jones; he'll become a free agent tomorrow. The Marlins are expected to make an offer.
The Cubs signed a Korean high school shortstop named Lee Hak-ju. Aaron Shinsano, who works for the Cubs as a scout, says the team believes he'd have been a first round pick in the states.
Giants owner Peter Magowan is expected to step down Friday.
Troy Renck says the Rox still want Julian Tavarez but won't give up pitching prospect Brandon Hynick. Baseball America ranked Hynick eighth among Rockies prospects, they describe him as a command guy with a decent splitter. The Sox are talking to two or three teams about Tavarez.
Not a surprise, but Jon Garland isn't likely to sign back with the White Sox.

Ya know, with so many teams releasing guys its rather shocking to me that teams are still holding out for semi-desirable parts in return for players they are cutting. How can the Tigers not work out a deal for basically anyone knowing they get nothing if they hold their ground? Same goes for the RedSox over Tavarez… Seems rather foolish…

I am interested to see where Garland goes. The Angels don't need him. Perhaps San Diego or Boston?
