Odds & Ends: Gregerson, Hanley, Strasburg

By Tim Dierkes | March 23, 2009 at 11:56am CDT

Links for Monday…

  • Matt Eddy of Baseball America has the minor league transactions, including the Dodgers' signing of J.D Durbin.
  • Marc Lancaster of the Tampa Tribune says Rays Rule 5 pick Derek Rodriguez, a reliever, has been returned to the White Sox.
  • Yahoo's David Brown talked to Carlos Pena about many topics, including his agent Scott Boras.
  • According to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Padres received pitcher Luke Gregerson as the player to be named later in the Khalil Greene deal.  The other player the Padres received, the now-injured Mark Worrell, was also a minor league closer.  Given the state of the Padres' pen, Gregerson could reach the Majors this year.  UPDATE: Here is Paul DePodesta's take on Gregerson.
  • MLB.com's Ken Gurnick noted yesterday that the Dodgers cut pitcher Shawn Estes, and he's yet to decide whether to accept a Triple A assignment.  UPDATE: Estes will head to the minors and attempt to reinvent himself as a lefthanded specialist.
  • Sean McAdam of the Boston Herald quizzed Hanley Ramirez about Boston's attempt to reacquire him in November.
  • MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan wonders about Frank Catalanotto's future.  Useful player, but the Rangers would have to eat most of his $6MM to move him.
  • Dave Sheinin of the Washington Post talked to Nationals president Stan Kasten about the six-year, $50MM Stephen Strasburg rumor.  We all know how Boras works…if he wants $25MM for Strasburg, he starts at $50MM.
  • South Side Sox and Sox Machine comment on the Gavin Floyd extension, as well as the offers to John Danks and Carlos Quentin.
  • Talking to David Lennon of Newsday, Tom Glavine responded to Pedro Martinez's distaste for signing a "Glavine-like" contract.
  • Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun spoke to Aubrey Huff, who "doesn't even understand the concept of a contract push."
  • Ivan Rodriguez explained to MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez why he didn't sign with the Marlins.
