Hairston, Weathers To Test Market

By Tim Dierkes [November 12, 2008 at 4:22pm CST]

MLB.com's Mark Sheldon has the latest on free agents Jerry Hairston Jr. and David Weathers.

Hairston expressed gratitude toward the Reds for giving him a shot this year. The Reds made progress with his agent on contract talks, but don't expect an agreement with Hairston or any of their other free agents to be reached by Friday. Based on his quotes, it sounds like Hairston will at least listen to offers from other teams. He posted a career-best .326/.384/.487 line in 297 plate appearances this year.
Weathers says he's "flipped the page" on the Reds. Talks never became serious, and the Reds never made an offer. He's looking forward to testing the market, and doesn't expect to return to Cincinnati. Walt Jocketty says he still wants to talk.

I dont blame them for wanting to test the market. I wouldnt want to play for Dust bag either...

I could see Weathers landing in Cleveland.

The Cubs could take a flier on Hairston for insurance.

Hairston might be a nice fit for AZ at 2nd

Why not have Hairston go to San Diego to reunite with Scott? I know they're reducing payroll to some extent but that doesn't mean they won't sign ANY free agents.

If Escobar goes to San Diego in the Peavy deal, would the Braves have an interest in Hairston? One wonders...

I imagined him playing second in San Diego.
