Jose Guillen Rumors

Heyman's Latest: Lowe, Teixeira, Guillen

SI.com's Jon Heyman recently published several new blog posts. Free agent outfielder Garret Anderson has a new agent: Scott Boras. Click here for our full list of Boras clients. Rangers starters Vicente Padilla and Kevin Millwood are drawing interest from the Braves, Dodgers, and Mets. Padilla is owed $12MM in 2009 with a 2010 option for the same ($1.75MM buyout). Millwood gets $23MM over the next two seasons and has a limited no-trade clause. Heyman says rather than battle for A.J. Burnett, the Red Sox and Yankees may duke it out for Derek Lowe. Other suitors for Lowe: the Mets,...   Continue Reading

Royals Payroll Could Reach $70 Million

Sports Radio 810 in Kansas City talked to Royals GM Dayton Moore recently. Moore hopes to sign Zack Greinke long-term. Greinke, however, is comfortable going year to year to maximize his earnings. Moore named three free agent bats he ranked above Mike Jacobs: Mark Teixeira, Manny Ramirez, and Bobby Abreu. He implied those three are out of the Royals' price range. Moore feels that Jacobs will continue to improve. Moore says he has flexibility to extend payroll toward $70MM or even higher. He notes that last year the Royals tried to sign Jose Guillen and Torii Hunter, which would've pushed...   Continue Reading

Odds and Ends: Hughes, Tigers, Affeldt

Links for Monday... I'm working on this year's Top 50 Free Agents list, with predicted destinations. It's always a tough puzzle to assemble. Anyone have educated guesses on where Ben Sheets, Oliver Perez, Braden Looper, and Jon Garland might sign? MLB.com's Mychael Urban believes Mark Mulder would like to return to the A's, but the team may not be interested. Plus, Mulder isn't even considering destinations until he is healthy. Japanese free agent pitcher Kenshin Kawakami hired American agent Tony Attanasio. The Red Sox may be interested. Joel Sherman of the New York Post takes the Yankees to task for...   Continue Reading

Sherman's Latest: Gonzalez, Guillen, Castillo, Martin

Let's take a little break from Peavy-mania and look at some other situations around the big leagues, courtesy of Joel Sherman. Padres GM Kevin Towers can't see any circumstances under which he'd trade first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. He's signed cheaply, and the Padres already have offensive problems. Sherman knows that it will be extremely difficult for the Mets to move Luis Castillo this offseason, but offers one scenario that has been discussed before: Trade Castillo to the Royals for perennial hothead Jose Guillen. Guillen would bring the Mets a power bat and arm to put in left field, while Castillo...   Continue Reading

Odds and Ends: Alvarez, Williams, Tazawa

Today's links... Chat today, 2pm CST. Great stuff on the Pedro Alvarez situation from Baseball Prospectus' Kevin Goldstein. Goldstein's source says the union will claim that the Pirates and MLB engaged in a premeditated conspiracy, perhaps designed to take Scott Boras out of the picture by negotiating past midnight. The article is subscription-only. At $40 a year, BP is well worth it. It seems that Type B status is slipping away for Tigers reliever Kyle Farnsworth. Ivan Rodriguez recently fell from A to B, but the Yankees may choose not to offer him arbitration. Baseball America's Jim Callis says Mariners...   Continue Reading

Perrotto's Latest: La Russa, Offseason Moves

John Perrotto at Baseball Prospectus has his Every Given Sunday column up. Here's the highlights from the Rumors and Rumblings section (with some added speculation here and there from yours truly): There's a growing rumor that Cardinals manager Tony La Russa could step down after this season and pursue a job as a general manager. We all know Seattle's looking... The Diamondbacks love Adam Dunn's production so much that they are considering re-signing him and possibly having him play first base. Dunn's racked up a .474 OBP since coming to Arizona... what's not to like about that? The Padres seem...   Continue Reading

Jose Guillen Denies Report

WEDNESDAY: Joe Posnanski writes that while the ESPN report wasn't exactly true, it "did not completely miss the target, either." GM Dayton Moore admitted that "Jose Guillen likes attention." But, Moore knew what he was getting into. TUESDAY, 6:13pm: Guillen denied the report entirely. 2:50pm: According to ESPN's Enrique Rojas, Royals outfielder Jose Guillen is unhappy in Kansas City and wants out. He is reportedly not on speaking terms with manager Trey Hillman. He also doesn't think the Royals are doing enough for build a contender for 2009-10. Guillen would even defer some of the $24MM owed to him for...   Continue Reading

Stark's Latest: Teixeira, Padilla, Sheffield, Beltre

ESPN's Jayson Stark has a new Rumblings and Grumblings up. You may want to grab a glass of water or something, because this is a beast of a column. If the Braves have a bad weekend and decide to trade Mark Teixeira, a deal could come together quickly. Stark says the Braves have already touched base with the Rays, Red Sox, Dodgers, Angels and Yankees. Where Tex fits on the Rays, I'm not sure. Additionally, interest in Will Ohman is said to be "massive." A Jorge Posada move to first base could affect the Yankees' interest in Teixeira this winter....   Continue Reading

Royals To Stand Pat

Bob Dutton of The Kansas City Star doesn't expect the Royals to move anyone before the deadline because all of their pieces are under contract beyond this season and/or integral to their plan to contend in the future. The Royals 2-prospect pricetag is too steep for Jose Guillen who's signed through 2010 and leads the team in HR and RBI. Gil Meche has a no-trade clause and even so, the Royals feel he's a key piece to their future chances. Even though the team isn't discussing any long term deals with him, Zack Greinke is under control through arbitration through...   Continue Reading

Rosenthal's Latest: Sabathia, Burnett, Fuentes, Guillen

Ken Rosenthal has a new column up. I updated the second bullet about Burnett - I had omitted an interesting rumor accidentally. The Dodgers could've gotten CC Sabathia, Casey Blake, and Jamey Carroll without giving up Matt Kemp. Owner Frank McCourt may have killed the deal, though he denies it. Rosenthal describes the Dodgers as a "near-impossible trading partner." Rosenthal reminds us that A.J. Burnett can veto trades to 15 teams and would probably require compensation to waive that right or his opt-out rights. Rosenthal also says the Jays offered Burnett to the Brewers for J.J. Hardy, but the Brewers...   Continue Reading

Odds and Ends: Adam Jones, Weaver, Jocketty

You know how it works...random rumors and links to clear out my inbox. Adam Jones left winter ball early, perhaps as a prelude to a trade. The Cardinals' interest in Jeff Weaver is "at best, tepid" according to Derrick Goold. However, Goold thinks they should bring him back. Walt Jocketty said on XM Radio: "I don't want to be a GM again." I guess that settles that, Wayne Krivsky can rest easy. This is kind of funny. Mark Teahen on meeting Jose Guillen: "For the most part he didn’t rub me the wrong way - he seemed like a good..   Continue Reading

---

Odds and Ends: Guillen, Crede, Hamilton, Boone

Rounding up some of the day's random rumors and tidbits... Jose Guillen might get a light suspension for his exploits. There was a report that the Brewers were close to obtaining Joe Crede, but it was published last night. The BBWAA approved a new resolution for 2013. Any player with a contract provision linked to a major award of theirs will not be considered for that award. Makes sense - to repeat Curt Schilling's situation. Curt Schilling could get a million bucks by netting one Cy Young vote in 2008. The BBWAA would rather preserve its right to have members..   Continue Reading

Odds and Ends: Peavy, Ellsbury, Montero, Fukumori

More random rumors to devour... The Braves are looking at adding Damian Miller as their backup catcher. The Nats are known to have interest and more playing time for Miller. The Padres are considering him as well; Miller will definitely play in '08. Jake Peavy will get a three-year, $52MM extension with a $22MM option for 2013. Who knows how the Padres will feel about that option when they get there. Peavy will earn $15MM in 2010, $16MM in '11, and $17MM in '12. The '13 option has a $4MM buyout attached. Jacoby Ellsbury signed on with the Scott Boras..   Continue Reading

Braves Offer James For DeJesus?

UPDATE, 12-4-07 at 4:21pm: Debunked! David O'Brien says the Braves aren't in talks about DeJesus, and the Royals have a negative opinion of James anyway. FROM 12-4-07 at 2:09pm: According to the KC Star's Bob Dutton, the Jose Guillen signing puts the Royals in a better position to trade David DeJesus or Joey Gathright. The Rangers and Braves are on DeJesus' trail. Dutton believes the Braves offered up lefty Chuck James for him. It seems a little light, as I'm not sure James could be effective in the American League. Royals GM Dayton Moore, of course, came from the Atlanta..   Continue Reading

Marlins/Tigers Cabrera/Willis Blockbuster

UPDATE, 12-4-07 at 2:41pm: Joe Capozzi agrees - separate deals if anything. UPDATE, 12-4-07 at 1:29pm: MLB.com's Joe Frisaro has a source indicating that the Tigers are interested in Willis or Cabrera and not necessarily both. UPDATE, 12-4-07 at 12:23pm: According to Danny Knobler, the Tigers feel they're being used by the Marlins to jack up the price for other teams like the Angels. The trade talks between Detroit and Florida are characterized as discussions rather than trade negotiations. Knobler says Dombrowski doesn't want to trade Maybin, but I can't see this happening otherwise. FROM 12-4-07 at 11:02am: Ken Rosenthal..   Continue Reading

Odds and Ends: Guillen, Patterson, Clark, Andruw

Let's keep things rolling along with a morning Odds and Ends collection. U.S.S. Mariner is not amused with the Ms' decision not to offer arbitration to Jose Guillen. Andruw Jones hasn't been getting much player, and his camp initiated contact with the Royals yesterday. The mutual interest may have been what pushed Guillen to sign. With the David Riske to Milwaukee signing not official, the Orioles apparently had talks with his agent yesterday. He'll be too pricey for them, anyway. By the way, the Cubs checked in on Brian Roberts, but nothing is really stirring right now on that front...   Continue Reading

Royals Sign Jose Guillen

UPDATE, 12-4-07 at 12:31am: After some twists and turns, the Royals got their man on a three-year, $36MM deal. UPDATE, 12-3-07 at 11:52pm: Not so fast, says the KC Star's Bob Dutton. Dutton says talks with Guillen are currently stalled - the Royals don't want to go past two years. Instead they've been in close contact with Andruw Jones. They don't want to exceed two years on him either but will pay extra for the shorter term. Their offer might not be much more than two years, $32MM though. Even crazier: if the Royals miss out on Hiroki Kuroda, they..   Continue Reading

Royals Willing To Pay Up For Guillen

It's always dangerous to commit to acquiring one specific player, because then he has all the leverage. Kind of like buying a house I guess. The Royals are dead-set on signing Jose Guillen, who wants a four-year contract despite his steroid issues. Bob Dutton believes Guillen is just posturing, as the Mets are the only other interested club. It still seems like Guillen can't get more than three years, but you never know. Dutton notes that the Mariners accurately judged the interest in Guillen to be weak, and preferred to abandon a sandwich pick rather than risk getting stuck with..   Continue Reading

Mariners Rumors: Kuroda, Affeldt, Guillen

Let's talk Mariners rumors, aside from their questionable interest in Johan Santana. David Andriesen breaks it down. The Ms will acquire at least one solid starter, and hopefully two. They've got a four-year offer out to Hiroki Kuroda, which is pretty aggressive. It's possible that if they land him they could look internally for the #5 starter. One interesting rotation option is Jeremy Affeldt, who grew up in Washington about four hours away from Seattle. Affeldt said he'd consider starting again, which is probably the only way the Ms would have interest in him. His agent is already talking to..   Continue Reading

---

Rosenthal's Latest: Peavy, Guillen, Barrett

Ken Rosenthal checks in with another fine rumor-filled column. Johan Santana doesn't seem a great fit for the Angels, partly because he'll be very expensive and the Halos actually do have a payroll limit. Jake Peavy knows he'd have to take a discount to stay in San Diego...but even a $15MM per year type deal would be unprecedented for them. He's under the Padres' control through '09. Rosenthal's sources are divided on whether the Mets will go after Jose Guillen. Such a scenario is possible if Lastings Milledge and/or Carlos Gomez are dealt. It's said that the Mets are still..   Continue Reading

Zrebiec On O's and Free Agents

The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec was recently named Rumor Royalty for the Orioles. Jeff answered a few questions for MLBTR. MLBTR: Andy MacPhail has said he doesn't expect to be in on many free agents, but there was a rumor that the O's are entertaining Jose Guillen [note: written prior to debunking]. Do you expect them to spend any money on free agents this winter? Zrebiec: First, the Guillen report was inaccurate. He's exactly the type of player the Orioles are not interested in at this stage. As for other free agents, I see the Orioles making a couple of..   Continue Reading

Stark's Latest: Edmonds, Pierre, Guillen, Santana

ESPN's Jayson Stark always cranks out a bunch of new rumors when he writes a column. This week is no exception. Jose Reyes: going nowhere. Probably since they hope to include him in a Johan Santana deal, the Red Sox won't trade Coco Crisp until that situation is resolved. The Rangers liked Crisp, but are considering interesting alternatives: Rocco Baldelli, Jim Edmonds, and Juan Pierre. If only Ned Colletti could get someone to take his Pierre contract. Then he could sign another one almost equally as bad. Then he could trade Aaron Rowand a year from now and repeat the..   Continue Reading

Orioles Not Interested In Jose Guillen

Back on November 18th, ESPN's Enrique Rojas said that the Royals and Orioles the leaders among eight clubs competing for the services of Jose Guillen. However, the Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec said today that the O's do not have interest in him. It didn't make much sense from the start. Andy MacPhail has already stated his lack of interest in free agents. Guillen would bring more steroid stigma to a franchise with plenty. And Guillen plays the same position as Nick Markakis   Continue Reading

---

Odds and Ends: Riske, Bedard, Wolf

And now for your daily jumble o' rumors. More to come. The Twins cleared several spots on their 40-man roster...will they be active next week? The Yankees have "reached out" to free agent reliever David Riske. Troy Percival and Ron Mahay have also been linked to the Yanks this offseason. The Dodgers have an interest in Tony Clark, which has to bum out James Loney. Dylan Hernandez also notes that the Dodgers' talks for Erik Bedard have stalled because the Orioles want to see what happens with Miguel Cabrera first. Ned Colletti expects Jeff Kent back, by the way. The..   Continue Reading

Royals, Orioles In Lead For Jose Guillen

According to Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes, the Royals and Orioles are the frontrunners to sign free agent outfielder Jose Guillen. That link is in Spanish so feel free to correct me if my translation is off. The article was published on November 18th. Rojas reports that eight teams have shown interest in signing Guillen to a multiyear deal. We knew the Royals were dead set on Guillen; the Orioles part is new to me. The O's already have Nick Markakis in right, so perhaps Guillen would be used in left. Sounds like he's pretty popular despite the steroid revelations...   Continue Reading

Royals Pursue Guillen, Reportedly Set With Yabuta

The Royals were in on the Torii Hunter sweepstakes, having offered five years and $70 million, with every intention of going higher if necessary. Now that the Angels have locked him up, Jose Guillen has become the "indisputable No. 1 on the Royals’ list of off-season targets." “Obviously, our objective remains the same,” general manager Dayton Moore said. “We do want to acquire a right-handed bat to hit in the middle of our order, and we’ll keep working through every opportunity imaginable.” Bob Dutton thinks that losing out on Hunter could have added benefits. In addition to acquiring the cheaper..   Continue Reading

---

Odds and Ends: Garcia, Greene, DeJesus

With so many rumors, there's a need for a daily Odds and Ends post to catch 'em all. Buster Olney talked to Freddy Garcia's agent. He's looking at a June return from shoulder surgery. Indians GM Mark Shapiro made an offer on Brad Lidge. The Astros didn't even reply. They did hear back from the Marlins on their Miguel Cabrera inquiry. The price is seemingly too high for talks to continue. Peter Gammons says that before the Astros got Michael Bourn, the White Sox pushed for a Chad Qualls for Ryan Sweeney swap. Evan Grant notes that the Rangers have..   Continue Reading

---

Royals Rumors: Cordero, Silva, Guillen

Some good info surfacing regarding the Royals, as usual courtesy of the KC Star's Bob Dutton. While Joakim Soria will remain in the pen, the Royals want to add more relief help. They could re-sign David Riske, and even plan to contact Francisco Cordero's agent (Bean Stringfellow). Bringing back Octavio Dotel is also being considered, though Soria would remain the closer. Ron Mahay is on the radar. It's thought that he'll require something close to a three-year, $12MM deal as one of the better southpaw relievers out there. Riske wants a deal like that too. Dayton, just take the draft..   Continue Reading

Jose Guillen Busted For Steroids

Say it ain't so, Jose. Free agent right fielder Jose Guillen just saw his stock plummet, as the Game of Shadows guys nailed him for prolonged HGH and steroid use. Well, at least for purchasing almost $20K worth of various performance-enhancers from May 2002 to June 2005. He actually had steroids shipped to him at the Oakland Coliseum. Matt Williams and Ismael Valdez were also implicated, sadly. All three used the same dentist Paul Byrd did, calling his story into question a bit. Guillen spoke out against steroid use earlier this year, saying he "never considered" using them. He might..   Continue Reading

---

Royals Interested In Guillen, Jenkins, Hunter

I was waiting for someone to name a few players of interest to the Royals, and Bob Dutton came through tonight with some names. Specifically, the team is after a run-producer, ideally a right-handed hitter. That puts Jose Guillen atop their list. Dayton Moore might need to go a little north of three years, $30MM to get him. Failing that, the left-handed hitting Geoff Jenkins is on the radar. He'd probably go for a one-year, $6-7MM contract in my estimation. Dutton notes that the Royals have interest in Torii Hunter, but he's likely to be priced out of their range...   Continue Reading

Mariners Decline Option On Jose Guillen

UPDATE, 11-3-07: There had been conflicting reports of this, but Cot's Baseball Contracts had it right. Guillen's player option is for $5MM, and he's already said he's declining it. The Mariners pretty much wasted $500K in declining the club option. FROM 11-2-07: The Mariners are saying they put the ball in Jose Guillen's court, but they really didn't. They declined his one-year, $9MM option. Now Guillen can choose to exercise an option for 2008 for $5MM or elect for free agency. Seems pretty clear he'll pass on that. It figured to be this way from the start; the $9MM team..   Continue Reading

---

Odds and Ends: Lincecum, Wakefield, Schilling

More random rumors. You know you love it. Tracy Ringolsby has some hot stove musings. It's a fairly sloppy article with one new tidbit: "Tim Lincecum can be had for a quality bat." Either Ringolsby is misinformed, or Brian Sabean has lost it. Lincecum has Cy Young potential. A couple of Red Sox mainstays will stay for '08 - Tim Wakefield and Julian Tavarez. Wake was a no-brainer at his perpetual $4MM, while Tavarez was debatable at $3.85MM. Tavarez expected it to be declined, since the team left him off the World Series roster. The Ms will decide very soon..   Continue Reading

---

Odds and Ends: Hunter, A-Rod, Bedard

Sunday morning minor rumor collection... There's always some skepticism from readers regarding Charley Walters rumors. Nonetheless I'll report that he names the Nationals, White Sox, Braves, Yankees, and Dodgers as teams that will bid for Torii Hunter. I don't see the Braves getting involved at $15MM per. And are the Dodgers ready to move Juan Pierre to left field already? The other clubs named seem reasonable. As expected, the Cardinals interviewed Chris Antonetti for their open GM position. No doubt it's an attractive position but you have to wonder what kind of autonomy he'd have with Tony La Russa around....   Continue Reading

Mariners Hot Stove Chatter

John Hickey of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer discusses the Mariners' offseason situation in today's column. Let's summarize. Jose Guillen will probably decline his $9MM option for '08, no surprise there. An "inside source" of Hickey's doesn't expect him back with Seattle. That puts Ichiro in center and Adam Jones in right, which hopefully makes up for the unpleasantness of Raul Ibanez in left. Hickey sees the Mariners having about $15MM to spend this winter. If $10MM of that went to Guillen the Ms would be severely limited in pitching acquisitions. Instead they should and probably will just spend all of it..   Continue Reading

Jose Guillen Likely To Reach Free Agency

Nothing unexpected here - Jose Guillen's agent, Adam Katz, indicated tonight that the player will decline his option for 2008. The Mariners can exercise it at $9MM, but then Guillen has the right to void it and forfeit the $500K buyout. That makes sense - at the bare minimum he's looking at two years and $20MM. More likely he gets three years from some team, despite his mercurial nature. Mercurial is the word most often used to describe Guillen. I'm not kidding - there are 430 Google results for "jose guillen mercurial." The Mariners may yet give Guillen an extension;..   Continue Reading

---

Odds and Ends: Wakefield, Guillen, Lowell

Some random rumorage not quite worthy of individual posts... Jeff Goldberg of the Hartford Courant speculates that Tim Wakefield could be making his final start for Boston tonight. With Wakefield, the Red Sox possess one of the most lopsided contracts in baseball history. They have a perpetual $4MM club option with him, one that never goes away until they decline it. But $4MM is nothing to the Sox, and Wakefield was certainly worth that much in '07. They'll exercise it. The Mariners were once close to an extension for Jose Guillen, but currently it's on the backburner. Even if the..   Continue Reading

---

Mariners Close To Extension With Guillen

According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Mariners are close to completing a three-year contract extension with right fielder Jose Guillen. The deal would replace Guillen's '08 option, running from 2008-10. Guillen's bounced back from Tommy John surgery to hit .293/.360/.467 with 19 HR and 83 RBIs so far this year. Geoff Baker said recently that the Eric Byrnes contract might serve as a model, so Guillen might be in line for about $30MM. As I mentioned in this post, Wladimir Balentien seems to be the odd man out in Seattle's outfield. And in order to give Adam Jones a regular..   Continue Reading

Odds and Ends

Some random rumors and links for Tuesday afternoon... The Rockies signed Mark Redman to a minor league contract. It makes sense to add some depth, but I like the team's plan of using high-octane arms Ubaldo Jimenez and Franklin Morales instead of the safe veteran options. Rick Sutcliffe's thoughts on showboating. At one time, it seemed that Jason Jennings would be primed for a big payday this winter. He still could get a Marquis contract despite his 6.45 ERA in 18 starts. But prospective buyers have to be concerned that he replied "I don't know" when asked if he is..   Continue Reading

Mariners Still Talking Extension With Guillen?

According to Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times, the Mariners are offering something like two years plus an option to right fielder Jose Guillen. Guillen is hitting .286/.357/.439 as the Mariners' #3 hitter. Back in mid-July, I speculated that it might require something like three years and $36MM to retain Guillen. Guillen still has a decent shot at 100 RBI. I think that still holds some weight among decision-makers, like it or not. Guillen's actually probably a touch below average offensively for a right fielder. I'm not sure what to make of Guillen's platoon split - he's been far better..   Continue Reading

Decision Time On Jose Guillen

Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times spoke to Jose Guillen yesterday about his contract situation. The 31 year-old right fielder was hesitant to discuss it, but Baker managed to extract some info. Basically Guillen wants to stay with the Mariners past just 2008. He would like to finally stay in one place. Some kind of decision should come before month's end. Guillen signed with the Mariners back in December of '06, receiving a $1MM signing bonus. His base salary for this year is $4MM, and he can make another $2.75MM in playing time incentives. The 2008 situation: basically a $9MM..   Continue Reading

Forgotten Trade Candidates

Amidst all the Buehrle/Jacque rumors floating around this week, we've neglected to write about the many other players who could be traded in July. Let's give a little press to three forgotten players who could be on the move. Kyle Lohse, SP, CIN - I was pretty high on Lohse after April, thinking he was about to go all Bronson Arroyo on the NL. Good Bronson, that is. But Lohse followed up his first four starts by going 2-10 with a 6.27 ERA and 4.4 K/9. And that actually included a shutout against the Pirates. It's hard to see how..   Continue Reading

Guillen Signs with M's

Angels. Check. A's. Check. Now Jose Guillen can add one more AL West team onto his list of teams he's played for. The Seattle PI is reporting that the Mariners have signed Guillen to a one-year $5.5MM contract, $3MM of which will be incentives. There is also an option for 2008 at $9MM. Seems like a decent deal for a guy who, when healthy, can hit somewhere between 25-30 homers. Of course the reason he wasn't signed long-term is because 1) He's a malcontent, and 2) He had reconstructive elbow surgery during the summer. All indications are though that he..   Continue Reading

Mariners To Sign Jose Guillen

I consider this to be one of the winter's better free agent signings: the Mariners are close to getting Jose Guillen for one year and $5MM. The deal includes incentives for 2007 and an option for '08. Here's U.S.S. Mariner's take. The signing could leave Chris Snelling without full-time work next year, despite decent work in 100 ABs   Continue Reading
