Odds & Ends: Chapman, Indians, Mulder, Royals
More links for Friday...
- Adam Rubin of the New York Daily News says the Mets are meeting with Aroldis Chapman today in New York. Rubin also passes along the bio Chapman's representatives have prepared.
- The Angels have given the Indians permission to interview bench coach Ron Roenicke for the club's managerial opening, according to Mike DiGiovanna of the LA Times.
- ESPN.com's Buster Olney says Don Mattingly is a frontrunner for the Indians job and, as Brian Costello of the New York Post reports, the Nationals have interest in Mattingly, too.
- Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel agrees with Buster Olney. Mark Mulder makes sense for the Brewers, who had interest in the lefty earlier this year.
- Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star assumes the Royals won't bring Tony Pena Jr. back. The shortstop-turned pitcher chose to become a free agent earlier in the week.
- Tony Massarotti of the Boston Globe says the Red Sox have enough organizational pitching depth to focus on adding a big bat this offseason. Massarotti expects the Red Sox to target Jason Bay and, possibly, Matt Holliday. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the team sign either player. Check the article out to see a breakdown of the club's financial commitments for the next couple years.

Saito grossly overpaid, maybe. Mazz how about Varitek, 5 million for someeone who IF he hits .240 again is an ALL-STAR caliber year for him.
Again last year, he was spearding all over the air waves the importance to sign a .209 hitter. 1 HR, 13 RBI'S after AS break.

Targetting J.Bay does NOT add a big bat. It re-signs a big bat on the 25 man roster since mid-2008. Adding a big bat would mean picking up AGon. AGon + Bay = 75HR, 220RBI, 200R, .950OPS. That's what addition does for ya!
Mazz exaggerates the amount of pitching the Sox have to trade. Having just traded Masterson and Hagadone, lost Wagner and maybe Saito, plus Beckett's contract year, they will have little depth if they give up two of Buchholz, Bowden, Bard, MDC for AGon.

Mark mulder would be great for the brewers and not exspensive either.
