Odds and Ends: Ibanez, Dunn, Blake, Stewart

Let's kick off the morning with some random links.

• Live chat here today at 2pm CST.
• Brian Matusz is hopeful about striking a deal with the Orioles by Friday's deadline.  Roch Kubatko has a source saying it's likely.
• Baseball America's Jim Callis warns us not to listen to the posturing - he still expects all the first-round draft picks to sign with the possible exception of Allan Dykstra.
• Should the Mariners offer Raul Ibanez a three-year deal at $10-11MM per?
• No word yet on possible Rays acquisitions in wake of the Carl Crawford and Evan Longoria injuries.  Marc Lancaster wonders if Kenny Lofton or...don't say it...Barry Bonds would make sense.
• The Mets had no interest in Adam Dunn.  They wonder about his passion, according to Joel Sherman.  Did you know he doesn't like baseball?
• The Phillies were more interested in Casey Blake than Manny Ramirez.
• Athletics Nation looks at some free agent options for '09.
• Shannon Stewart didn't understand his latest Blue Jay Experience.
• The Yankees, Mets, Angels, and Padres have scouts at the Olympics to watch Hitoki Iwase, Koji Uehara, Kenshin Kawakami, Yu Darvish, and Kyuji Fujikawa.
