Heyman On Street, Indians, Pedro, Davis

Jon Heyman of SI.com lists his mid-season award winners, led by Albert Pujols and Joe Mauer. Here are Heyman's latest rumors: Huston Street alone is worth more on the trade market than Matt Holliday. Dan O'Dowd must be happy with his return, which also included Carlos Gonzalez. Jhonny Peralta, Kerry Wood and Carl Pavano are all available. Indians GM Mark Shapiro believes he can still get a fair return for Cliff Lee if he deals him a year from now, a few months before the lefty is scheduled to become free agent. One executive says the Royals are "pushing" Brian...   Continue Reading

Could Cardinals Be Interested In DeRosa?

Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com says that Cardinals GM John Mozeliak is seeking help at third base with Troy Glaus out with ligament damage. "And in describing what he's looking for to reporters earlier today, he might as well have just said, 'Mark DeRosa.'" Castrovince continues: "The Indians, as you know, have had DeRosa basically on the block for a couple weeks now, because his value to them isn't anywhere near what it was before Jhonny Peralta moved to third base. So this could be an interesting situation to watch in the next couple days." The Indians want Major League-ready pitching...   Continue Reading

Edes On Francoeur, Nick Johnson, Valverde

8:10pm: David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on the Red Sox-Francoeur rumor: Talked to someone in Braves organization who sort of dismissed the Red Sox rumor.

Odds And Ends: Jones, Peralta, Liriano

Lins for Saturday morning... As ESPN.com's Buster Olney reports, Adam Jones is pleased that the Orioles have so much pitching approaching the majors, but he wants to win now. SI.com's Tom Verducci calls Jones baseball's most improved player and breaks down the outfielder's hot start. Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Jhonny Peralta is playing third base for now. Rob Neyer of ESPN.com writes that there are no guarantees for Francisco Cervelli once Jose Molina and Jorge Posada are fully healthy.

Tim Brown's Latest: Peralta, McPherson, Putz

Yahoo's Tim Brown posted a new column this evening. The Nationals got an OK return for Jon Rauch, acquiring second baseman Emilio Bonifacio. That could set the pace for reasonable reliever prices. The Indians are listening on Casey Blake, Paul Byrd, and Jamey Carroll, as you know. Jhonny Peralta isn't off-limits either. Here's a new name of interest for the Dodgers: Marlins minor league third baseman Dallas McPherson. He'll be 28 soon, and carries a .287/.400/.650 line with 32 home runs in 314 Triple A at-bats. This could be the second time McPherson blasts 40 home runs in a minor...   Continue Reading

Ocker On Blake, Marte, Dellucci, Borowski And Lee

Sheldon Ocker of the Akron Beacon Journal does some speculating on the Indians' third base, left field, and closer situations. Casey Blake's contract expires at the end of the season, and at age 35, Ocker doesn't believe that Indians' GM Mark Shapiro will re-up for him. Ocker points to two reasons why Andy Marte probably won't work out as the in-house solution to Blake's potential absence: he could be lost on waivers if he doesn't make the team as a utility man coming out of Spring Training, and he shows no sign of figuring things out and becoming an impact...   Continue Reading

Rolen For Glaus Finalized

UPDATE, 1-14-08 at 5:44pm: And it's official, news conference Wednesday. UPDATE, 1-14-08 at 2:15pm: Both players passed their physicals, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. This could be officially a done deal later today. By the way, the Belleville News-Democrat discusses some of the failed Rolen scenarios here (including one that involved Jhonny Peralta, Cliff Lee, and Anthony Reyes). UPDATE, 1-14-08 at 10:57am: A small amount of money will change hands - the Jays will send $1.8MM to the Cards, pending commissioner approval. Given that Rolen has more money on his contract, it's surprising to see the..   Continue Reading

Globe and Mail: Jays After Peralta?

You owe me for this. I got an email about a sweet Jhonny Peralta trade rumor in Toronto's Globe and Mail newspaper. I found the article and got ready for some juicy rumormongering. Unfortunately, they only gave me a little taste and made me register (for free). OK, whatever. But then, to read this particular article, I was forced to submit credit card information for a free 14 day-trial. Can someone please remind me to cancel this before July 30th? Thanks. Anyway, here's what Jeff Blair had to say on this topic: "A contending team could do some serious one-stop..   Continue Reading
