Cory Sullivan Rumors

Rosenthal On Sheets, Cruz, Cabrera, Reyes

The latest from Ken Rosenthal... Rosenthal recommends the Yankees sign Ben Sheets and Juan Cruz, partially because they'd pay less of a cost in draft picks than any other team. One exec predicted Sheets would require a $6-8MM base with the potential to earn at least $14MM, and possibly a "lucrative club option." Despite Rosenthal's recommendation, the Yanks remain focused on Andy Pettitte (who is not weighing an offer from the Astros). Industry sources tell Rosenthal that the Red Sox have kept their payroll flexible in case mid and low-revenue teams need to dump contracts. The A's probably cannot afford...   Continue Reading

Mets Sign Cory Sullivan

According to Troy Renck, the Mets signed outfielder Cory Sullivan to a Major League deal worth $600K with $300K in incentives. Sullivan is known as a strong defender, but his plus/minus numbers in 1123 center field innings don't support it.   Continue Reading

Renck On Redding, Fogg, Jennings

Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post weighs in on various free agent pitchers. The Rockies are a long shot for Tim Redding following their Jason Marquis acquisition. The Mets and Orioles still like him; he may command $2.5-3MM. Josh Fogg would like to return to Colorado, but has drawn interest from other teams as well. The Rangers and D'Backs are interested in Jason Jennings. Jennings missed most of the season after signing with Texas for $4MM. He had surgery in May to repair a torn flexor tendon in his forearm. The Mets are one team with an eye on...   Continue Reading

Marquis Unlikely For Rockies

6:47pm: Troy Renck says the Rockies told the Cubs they didn't have room in the budget for Marquis. The Rox may attempt to acquire a starter via trade, using Huston Street and Luis Vizcaino as chips. Other notes from Renck: the Padres and Rangers have interest in free agent outfielder Cory Sullivan. And interest in Willy Taveras is minimal given Friday's non-tender deadline. 5:13pm: According to MLB.com's Thomas Harding, the Rockies have internally discussed the possibility of acquiring Cubs' starter Jason Marquis. However, Marquis isn't exactly the front-rotation type they seek. Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald heard from Cubs...   Continue Reading

Rockies Rumors: Fuentes, Embree, Taveras

Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post has a few Rockies tidbits today... It deserves another mention - Brian Fuentes has scheduled a visit with the Mets. If he signs there, the Rockies will add the Mets' #25 pick to their own #11 pick in the first round while also snagging a sandwich pick. The Rockies want two lefties, probably from the pool of Glendon Rusch, Alan Embree, Brian Shouse, and Joe Beimel. Renck says the Tigers are aggressively pursuing Beimel, while Embree might have extra appeal if he can be had on a one-year deal. The Rockies hope to...   Continue Reading

Rockies Rumors: Sullivan, Hudson, Fogg

Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post takes a break from his vacation to bring us a few Rockies rumors. About a dozen teams, three of them serious, have expressed interest in Rockies center fielder Cory Sullivan. Sullivan is known for his defense, but the plus/minus system puts him slightly below average. He's in his arbitration years. The Rockies have not been aggressive going after lefthanded relievers, even though they seem to be dropping off the board quickly. Renck speaks of "chatter" the Rockies might go after free agent second baseman Orlando Hudson. Renck is skeptical of the rumor. The...   Continue Reading
