« Padres Designate Steve Garrison For Assignment | Main | Red Sox Prepared To Pick Up Ortiz’s Option »

Odds & Ends: Garrison, Red Sox, Werth, Cubs, Burnett

Labor Day linkage..

• Corey Brock of MLB.com (via Twitter) thinks that the Padres would like to keep Steve Garrison, who they DFA'd earlier today.  The lefty was protected by the club last winter.
• Having Lars Anderson and Anthony Rizzo waiting in the wings won't necessarily preclude Boston from retaining Adrian Beltre and/or Victor Martinez, says Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com (via Twitter).
• Jerry Crasnick of ESPN tweets that he's hearing a lot of speculation about Jayson Werth taking Scott Boras on as his agent.  However, he also tweets that players tend to follow their teammates and he may be drawn to Arn Tellem as the agent secured Chase Utley's seven-year, $85MM deal with the Phillies.
• It may be time for the Cardinals and manager Tony La Russa to part ways, writes Scott Miller of CBSSports.com.
• A recent move by Cubs manager Mike Quade may have scored points with GM Jim Hendry, opines Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune.
• Jayson Stark of ESPN (via Twitter) wonders aloud when A.J. Burnett will rank as a "full-fledged crisis" for the Yankees.  Burnett is set to earn $16.5MM each season until 2013.
• It will be an active offseason for Boston, tweets Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com.
