Sherman's Latest: Bay, Nady, Holliday, Fuentes, Blake

The New York Post's Joel Sherman is working hard today, filing blog posts here and here.

• Multiple teams are in the hunt for a right-handed hitting outfielder: the Mets, Rays, and maybe the Yankees.  The Pirates are asking for too much for Jason Bay and Xavier Nady, while the Rockies are waiting to see what Bay costs so they can ask for more for Matt Holliday.  The Rays' might find their solution internally, with Rocco Baldelli.
• Holliday as a replacement for Manny Ramirez this winter?  Right now it's just a couple of execs speculating to Sherman.
• The Rockies want either Jon Niese from the Mets or Ian Kennedy from the Yankees for Brian Fuentes, but the two New York clubs aren't having that.
• Nolan Ryan doesn't want to punt on '08 with the Rangers.
• Sherman wonders if the Marlins could match up with Texas on a catcher.
• Juan Rivera is not available at this point.
• Casey Blake is likely to be traded, partially because the Indians probably wouldn't offer him arbitration after the season.  The Mets and Yankees are said to have "at least mild interest."
