Odds and Ends: Mussina, Proefrock, Cuban

Links for Monday…

• Pitcher Kelvin Jimenez was claimed off waivers by the White Sox.  The Blue Jays had claimed him from the Cardinals previously.
• The Yankees hope Mike Mussina decides whether he’s retiring soon. He says it might be this week.
• Aaron Gleeman runs through the more affordable middle relief options.
• Roch Kubatko had the scoop yesterday – Scott Proefrock, formerly of the Orioles, is the new assistant GM for the Phillies.
• Trey Hillman is familiar with Kenshin Kawakami, but it’s not known whether the Royals are interested.
• Peter Abraham is wary of five free agents the Yankees might consider.
• Mark Cuban is in hot water for alleged insider trading.
• Ben Davis is apparently pitching these days, and he’ll try to crack the Reds’ Double A rotation.
