Heyman On Andruw, Pedro, Crede, Grudz

The latest from SI.com's Jon Heyman...

• The Yankees offered a minor league deal to Andruw Jones, which he turned down.  Other teams "thought to have interest": the Rangers, Phillies, Braves, and Mets.
• Heyman thinks Pedro Martinez makes a lot of sense for the Dodgers.  However, Dylan Hernandez of the L.A. Times learned from Ned Colletti on January 6th that the Dodgers weren't among the teams pursuing Pedro.
• Jason Varitek's camp (ie, Scott Boras) apparently has no regrets about rejecting arbitration since it wouldn't have been a guaranteed contract.
• Chad Cordero's next showcase is scheduled for February 19th.
• Heyman has the Twins as favorites over the Giants to sign Joe Crede.  More on Crede here.
• Heyman says the Yankees feel they're more likely to find a deal for Nick Swisher than Xavier Nady.
• Add Mark Grudzielanek to the list of right-handed hitters the Phillies are considering (Nomar Garciaparra, Rich Aurilia, and Moises Alou being the others).
