Twitter Rumors: Mulder, Pie, Torrealba, Sheets

By Tim Dierkes | December 8, 2009 at 4:20pm CDT

Random rumors collected from Twitter…

  • The Brewers will meet with Mark Mulder's people today, says SI's Jon Heyman.  Ken Rosenthal tweets that a meeting with the Royals already occurred today.
  • Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star says the Royals like Felix Pie, but are "finding it tough to meet Baltimore's needs."
  • The Brewers are working to re-sign pitcher Claudio Vargas, MLB.com's Adam McCalvy learned.  They view him as a reliever.  UPDATE: McCalvy says the Brewers think they're close.
  • Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets that Ben Sheets' agent Casey Close will meet with both New York teams, among others.  A throwing audition appears unlikely.  MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan says the Rangers would like a medical update on Sheets, who they almost signed before the season. 
  • Newsday's David Lennon says the Mets met with Yorvit Torrealba's agent this morning.  He could be an alternative to Bengie Molina, if the Mets and Torrealba can settle their grievance.  Torrealba had a signed term sheet with the Mets two years ago for a three-year, $14.4MM deal, but the Mets pulled out over concerns with the player's shoulder.  Lennon's colleague Ken Davidoff says the Giants are still involved on Torrealba.
  • The Brewers have a meeting with minor league free agent/knuckleballer Charlie Zink this afternoon, says Amalie Benjamin of the Boston Globe.
  • MLB.com's Brian McTaggart says LaTroy Hawkins will meet with the Astros today in hopes of getting a deal done soon.
  • ESPN's Jerry Crasnick finds the Brewers likely to tender a contract to righty Dave Bush on Saturday.  Despite a rough year Bush could get a small raise on this year's $4MM salary.
  • WEEI's Alex Speier says five to six teams have checked in on free agent outfielder Brian Giles, the Red Sox not among them.
  • Joe Crede doesn't expect to sign until late in the offseason, reports Kelsie Smith of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press.
