Quick Hits: Theriot, Aoki, Nakajima, Orioles

By Zachary Links | December 31, 2011 at 9:31pm CDT

Links for Saturday night..

  • Congratulations to MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith on being named among the 100 most influential Canadians in baseball by Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun. Luke Adams and Mark Polishuk picked up honorable mentions.
  • The Rays' interest in Ryan Theriot, presumably as a backup, has been preliminary to this point, writes Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.  The Mets and Braves are also said to be interested in the infielder's services.
  • Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker breaks down the pros and cons of Japanese import Norichika Aoki.  Earlier this month, the Brewers won the negotiating rights to the speedy outfielder and have until mid-January to work out a deal.  Milwaukee reportedly started negotiations with an offer in the $1-1.5MM range.
  • Meanwhile, the Yankees and Hiroyuki Nakajima are said to remain far apart in their talks, tweets Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.  The Bombers won the exclusive right to negotiate with the shortstop with a bid around $2MM earlier this month.  The deadline to reach a deal is on Tuesday.
  • Just as they were at the beginning of 2011, the Marlins will begin 2012 on the prowl for a starter, writes Juan C. Rodriguez of the Sun Sentinel.
  • Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com wonders if a new year will mean a new DH for the Orioles.  For the time being, it seems like the O's will look for an in-house solution to fill the gap.
