Odds and Ends: Alvarez, Kotsay, Street

Time to round up today's links.

• Hank Steinbrenner admits Barry Bonds' name will be mentioned at today's meeting of Yankees execs.
• Mark Cuban is a finalist to buy the Cubs.
• Pirates president Frank Coonelly expressed frustration with the Pedro Alvarez negotiations, in the first public comments on those talks.
• Dejan Kovacevic's source says the Pirates aren't requiring two prospects for Xavier Nady or Damaso Marte.  One elite prospect would work.
• Mark Kotsay wonders if he'll be traded this year.  As with Mark Teixeira, it'll depend heavily on the next week.
• Richard Justice takes Drayton McLane to task.
• DRays Bay relays a Peter Gammons report that the A's are shopping Huston Street to the Red Sox, Rays, and White Sox.
• David Weathers doesn't remember which teams are on his limited no-trade clause.
• Tom Henke's Army is back, with reinforcements.
• Sam Mellinger thinks the Royals should sign Rafael Furcal this winter.  I concur.
• Joe Posnanski believes that the Royals should try Tony Pena Jr. as a pticher, all kidding aside.  He bemoans the lack of "outside the box" thinking in baseball.
