AL East Notes: Yankees, Ortiz, Red Sox, Reynolds

By Zachary Links | November 13, 2011 at 1:15pm CDT

Here's a look at some items out of the American League East..

  • The Yankees remain unlikely to pursue David Ortiz, writes Alex Speier of WEEI.com.  General Manager Brian Cashman reiterated that the team's focus is on shoring up the starting rotation and also noted that the team has a number of internal candidates for the DH spot.
  • More from Speier as Cashman says that he's intrigued by the possibility of finally being able to have trade talks with Theo Epstein now that he is in charge of the Cubs.
  • The Red Sox will have to address the back of their rotation this winter and Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe outlines the different avenues that GM Ben Cherington can explore.  Abraham writes that even though the Sox will look into lefthanders C.J. Wilson and Mark Buehrle, a major deal is unlikely.
  • Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com wonders if Mark Reynolds' name will come up at this week's GM meetings in Milwaukee.  The Orioles hold an $11MM option on Reynolds' contract for 2013 and he isn't eligible for free agency until the following year.

                It’s hard to tell sarcasm when you’re talking about a team that was two games away from being in the world series being a shoe in by adding a good third baseman. Not as obvious as you make it sound. Should have said the Bucs.

                  Its obvious when you lose a guy like Fielder and were to add a guy like Reynolds

                    Fielder has not left yet. He’s a free agent. He hasn’t signed anywhere yet.

      Milwaukee can trade for Mark Reynolds, but they cannot sign him.

      However, if the Brew Crew and you are truly interested in Reynolds they could acquire Peter Angelos as well along with the rest of the Oriole front office with exception to Duquette oh for maybe Ryan Braun. I could go for that. Yes!

      So let me lay it out for you.
      Brewers get:
      Mark Reynolds
      Peter Angelos
      Oriole Front Office sans Duquette
      And just to sweeten the deal a bit because Kranitz thinks he’s wonderful Kevin Gregg

      Orioles in return get:
      Ryan Braun

      If Duquette takes my advice and pulls off this trade, his name would be legend in “Charm City” forever!

        Even if the Orioles got nothing in return they’d still ‘win’ that trade.

      Reynolds could be on the Cubs next year too.

      1B Fielder
      2B Pujols
      3B Reynold
      SS Castro
      C Soto

      Pretty soild infield if you ask me.

        Cubs4ever where did u come from? i mean your trade/signing ideas are starting to get ridiculous!!! Tell me why the Cubs would sign 2 1b to 100mil+ contracts over 7-10 years? not to mention Pujols will leave St.Louis for the cubs… and then to play a new position 2b? you should explain yourself!!

    I thought it was very apparent that David Ortiz and the Yankees will never be a good fit.  Why does this keep getting brought up?  Cause it’s a Sunday?

    I was at the event mentioned in Speier’s article – Theo, Neal, and Cashman were suprisingly frank and it was a great event for a great cause.

    Team sources indicate that the Tampa Bay Rays are highly unlikely to pursue free agents Albert Pujols or Prince Fielder, citing the risk associated with expensive long term contracts as the main reason.

    I cant wait to see Cardinals fan faces when the Cubs trade for Pujols. There will be a new #1 in the central and no doubt will Theo coach us into the World Series next year!

                    Dude Albert is a free agent.  But yeah, you can trade for him if you want….I am sure Theo would do that.  He’s a real sharp character.

      i can’t wait to see the look on cubs fans faces when the cubs trade away everything valuable in their farm, Castro, and 500million dollars along with Rickett’s left arm to trade for Pujols.
