Mark Reynolds Rumors

Nightengale On Holliday, Sheets, Yankees

USA's Today's Bob Nightengale is cranking out the tweets...put this stuff in a column, Bob! He says the Red Sox met with Scott Boras about Matt Holliday, as a Jason Bay contingency. Brewers GM Doug Melvin told Nightengale no one has heard from Ben Sheets or his agent. Back in October, assistant GM Gord Ash told the AP, "There's been once and a while conversations with his agent to remind that we still have that ongoing interest." Yankees GM Brian Cashman told Nightengale he didn't sit down with a single agent. Seems kind of weird. Talking to Mariners GM Jack...   Continue Reading

Cafardo On Drew, Reynolds, Gonzalez

In his piece on Don Mattingly's interest in a managerial position, the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo brings us some nuggets of information from around the majors: Stephen Drew is expected to be shopped by the Diamondbacks this offseason and "there should be" discussions with the Red Sox. Cafardo wonders if hitting in a more patient lineup could boost his OPS (.748 in 2009). More on the D-Backs as Mark Reynolds fell three days shy of being classified as a Super Two. Reynolds will earn $425,000 in 2010 instead of something in the neighborhood of $5MM. Cafardo suspects that Boston will...   Continue Reading

Odds & Ends: Reynolds, Gammons, Orioles

Some late night links after Jake Peavy allowed three runs in five innings in his first start for the White Sox... Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic notes that Mark Reynolds is likely to fall short of qualifying as a Super Two, meaning he'll have to wait until after 2010 to become arbitration eligible. He also says that it "does not appear there have been any discussions about a long-term deal with Reynolds, but the club does not seem averse to the idea of an extension." ESPN's Peter Gammons writes about how great Victor Martinez has been for the Red...   Continue Reading

D'Backs Looking At Second Base Options

Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic talked to Diamondbacks GM Josh Byrnes, who says the team will explore second base options rather than move Mark Reynolds from third base. One option is Ramon Vazquez, whose agent has spoken with the D'Backs. Vazquez seeks a two-year deal. The 32 year-old hit .290/.365/.430 in 347 plate appearances, but struggled against lefties. He's played mostly third base in recent years.   Continue Reading

Blocked Prospects: Joe Koshansky

25 year-old first baseman Joe Koshansky played for the same University of Virginia team as Ryan Zimmerman and Mark Reynolds. Like Reynolds he was drafted in 2004, falling (to the surprise of some) to the sixth round (pick 190). He's moved steadily through the Rockies system and in 2005 was named Baseball America's Rockies Minor League Player of the Year after hitting .291/.373/.603 with 36 home runs in 453 A ball at bats. He's maintained similar averages at Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Colorado Springs, although his power has steadily declined. On top of that, Koshansky plays at the highest elevation...   Continue Reading

Dan Haren Rumors: Wednesday

UPDATE, 12-5-07 at 11:20am: Joel Sherman says Stephen Drew, Mark Reynolds, and Tony Pena are also off the table in the Haren talks. UPDATE, 12-5-07 at 8:09am: Susan Slusser adds that the A's aren't being unreasonable with Arizona - they haven't asked for Justin Upton or Chris Young. Slusser also notes that Billy Beane wouldn't sit down with the Tigers unless they'd discuss Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin. That's when the Tigers turned to the Marlins. Beane downplayed the chances of trading Haren, but what else is he going to say? FROM 12-5-07 at 12:09am: Technically it's Wednesday now, and..   Continue Reading
