Winter Meetings Review: Day 2

By Luke Adams 2 | December 11, 2013 at 4:00am CDT

After a relatively quiet Monday in Orlando, the second day of 2013's Winter Meetings brought a little more excitement, as a couple of notable trade candidates found new homes. Let's round up Tuesday's top MLB headlines…

Transactions:

  • The Diamondbacks, Angels, and White Sox consummated the biggest deal of the week so far, working out a three-team trade that sends Mark Trumbo to Arizona, Adam Eaton to Chicago, and Hector Santiago and Tyler Skaggs to the Angels. The D-Backs will also receive a couple minor-leaguers in the swap.
  • The Rockies landed a starter they'd been linked to frequently in the last week, agreeing to acquire Brett Anderson from the Athletics, along with $2MM in cash, in exchange for Drew Pomeranz and Chris Jensen.
  • After we heard on Monday that he was nearing a deal, Rajai Davis agreed to terms with the Tigers on a two-year pact that will pay him $10MM.
  • Shortly after non-tendering him, the Mets re-signed the rehabbing Jeremy Hefner to a minor league contract.
  • Ryan Webb passed his physical and finalized his deal with the Orioles.
  • The Rangers officially announced the signing of J.P. Arencibia.
  • The Marlins finalized their signing of Garrett Jones.

Rumors:

  • The Phillies are willing to discuss Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels in trade talks, but it sounds like they'll only consider move one of their aces if they receive a huge return and shed significant salary.
  • Having acquired Trumbo, the Diamondbacks have shifted their focus to landing a front-line starting pitcher. That deal also allowed the Angels to free up some money to pursue pitching.
  • The Orioles are currently viewed as the frontrunners to land Grant Balfour.
  • As the top second baseman still available on the free agent market, Omar Infante is seeking a contract worth $8MM+ per season.
  • The Indians are open to listening to offers for Asdrubal Cabrera in addition to Justin Masterson.
  • Danny Espinosa is drawing trade interest from the Yankees and other teams, but so far the Nats are balking at moving him.
  • The Dodgers and Rangers seem increasingly unlikely to trade for David Price, opening the door for the Mariners. Nonetheless, Seattle remains reluctant to include Taijuan Walker in any offer.
  • The market for Shin-Soo Choo is up in the air, since Tuesday's developments reduced the likelihood of him landing with the D-Backs or Tigers. Meanwhile, at least one report suggested the Rangers believe Choo may be too expensive for them.
  • Any team interested in acquiring Domonic Brown may have to send the Phillies two or three young players in return.
  • The Blue Jays reportedly offered Colby Rasmus to a pair of teams in an effort to bolster their starting rotation.
  • The Red Sox appear to be out on Matt Kemp, but the Tigers and Mariners may still be involved.
  • Jason Bay has an offer from NPB's Yomiuri Giants, and may play in Japan in 2014.
  • The Rockies had been pushing hard to acquire Reds reliever Sean Marshall, but concerns about Marshall's health may ultimately kill those negotiations.
  • Though it seemed as if we may get a decision from free agent Corey Hart Tuesday night, it looks like we'll have to wait until at least Wednesday for word on Hart.
  • No updates on the Masahiro Tanaka front — the Rakuten Golden Eagles are still undecided on whether or not to post him.
  • Former Athletics ace Mark Mulder is making a comeback bid.
  • While Brett Gardner has been the subject of some trade rumors this week, the Yankees are more likely to keep him and try to move Ichiro Suzuki.
  • The Pirates have resumed talks with free agent first baseman James Loney, but are probably out on Bronson Arroyo. The Twins, Mets, and Reds remain in the mix for Arroyo.
  • While the Twins don't have an offer out to Arroyo or Johan Santana, they've reportedly made a proposal to Mike Pelfrey.
  • Joba Chamberlain allegedly has a one-year, $3MM offer in hand. It doesn't appear to be from the Diamondbacks, despite the fact that they're eyeing Joba. The Astros also like the righty as a buy-low candidate.
  • The Brewers, Pirates, Mariners, and Orioles are among seven teams in on Logan Morrison.
  • Kevin Youkilis is receiving some interest, but prefers to sign with a west coast team close to his California home.
  • The Pirates are open to listening to offers for southpaw Justin Wilson, and the Nats could be a suitor.
  • The White Sox are "determined" to leave Orlando with a catcher.
  • Bartolo Colon is being eyed by the Rangers and Orioles.
  • Although the Mets are in play for Stephen Drew, at least one exec expects him to return to the Red Sox.
  • The Dodgers, Marlins, and White Sox all have some level of interest in Juan Uribe, though various reports suggested neither Miami nor Chicago is a serious suitor.
  • The Royals haven't ruled out the possibility of trading Billy Butler.
  • At least seven teams have interest in Eric Chavez.
  • The Cubs, Pirates, Royals, and Braves are in the mix for Jason Hammel.
  • Michael Morse, Jesse Crain, and Chad Gaudin are a few of the names on the Astros' radar. Morse is reportedly seeking a $7-8MM salary for one year.
  • The Mariners are interested in Fernando Rodney.

      Unsure why Seattle would do that.

    That $2 million in the Brett Anderson trade went to, not from Colorado.
