Week In Review: 11/22/09 – 11/28/09

By Steve Adams | November 29, 2009 at 5:52pm CDT

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrated this week! Here's your weekly look back at all things Hot Stove from MLBTR:

  • The Blue Jays signed not one, but two shortstops this week, inking Alex Gonzalez to a one-year, $2.75MM contract with a $2.5MM club option, and re-signing John McDonald for two years and $3MM total.
  • The White Sox also made two signings this week, inking Andruw Jones on a one-year deal for $500K and Omar Vizquel for one year and $1.375MM.
  • Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum is sticking to his desire to go year-to-year with the Giants, and will only seek a one-year deal this offseason. Is it possible that Lincecum and his agent could submit a number as ridiculous as $23MM? It's been discussed, believe it or not.
  • Onto the Roy Halladay front, the Blue Jays reportedly want a young, controllable arm and bat for their ace, plus prospects. This week we heard that the Cubs are unlikely to deal for Doc for payroll reasons, and that the Dodgers are a long shot as well due to their unwillingness to include Chad Billingsley. The Angels, on the other hand, are resuming their pursuit. Halladay's preferred locations at this point are the Yankees, Red Sox, Angels, and Phillies.
  • Sticking with the "ace" topics, the Marlins apparently aren't looking to deal Josh Johnson this offseason. Johnson's under team control for two more years, and can still fetch a haul at the July trade deadline or following the 2010 season.
  • Twins fans could be in for the best gift of all this holiday season, as the Twins are looking to finalize a contract extension for 2009 AL MVP Joe Mauer by Christmas. We also heard this week that the Twinkies may be looking at Rich Harden; not surprising really, they'd been connected to him at the August trade deadline.
  • One of the more entertaining stories I've seen since joining MLBTR: Jason Grilli signed with… well, someone this week. We just don't know who, aside from the fact that it's not the Yankees.
  • We learned the Elias numbers for Type-A free agents this season, conveniently located here for your viewing pleasure.
  • This week Tim covered the Rockies in his Offseason Outlook series. He also covered righty relievers in the final installment of his Trade Market series. Here's the recap of the whole thing.
  • Ben also made his final installment in the Trades of the Decade series, covering the deal that sent Alex Rodriguez to New York in exchange for Alfonso Soriano. Here's a recap of the whole series, feel free to check it out and discuss.
