Quick Hits: Phillips, Kuroda, Ortiz, Wood, Counsell

By Luke Adams 2 | November 15, 2011 at 10:39pm CDT

It's been a busy first day of the GM meetings, but we don't want to let anything fall through the cracks. Here's a collection of assorted links from throughout the day:

  • The Reds don't intend to make Brandon Phillips available in a trade, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.
  • Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers confirms a rumor we'd heard about previously, telling MLB.com's Ken Gurnick that his team has interest in Hiroki Kuroda.
  • The Red Sox aren't the only team meeting with David Ortiz's agent tonight. Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe tweets that the Orioles will also meet with Fern Cuza, and could be interested in Ortiz as well.  GM Dan Duquette noted that Cuza also represents Vladimir Guerrero, tweets Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com.
  • Former Angels pitching coach Marcel Lachemann has rejoined the team as an assistant to new GM Jerry Dipoto, says Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times.
  • Earlier this week, we heard the Angels were eyeing right-handed relief help. DiGiovanna has more details on their search, naming Octavio Dotel, Todd Coffey, and Matt Capps as some possible targets.
  • Cubs GM Jed Hoyer will explore the possibility of bringing back Kerry Wood, says MLB.com's Carrie Muskat.
  • At U.S.S. Mariner, Dave Cameron explains why he doesn't think the Mariners should open their wallets to sign Prince Fielder.
  • Craig Counsell is open to both playing and "non-playing" offers, tweets Tom Haudicourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Counsell isn't necessarily leaning toward retirement, but would seriously consider it for the right non-playing opportunity.

    Capps would be a nice pick and the best pick for Angels

    Marcel Lachemann rejoins the Angels. I am not surprised by this. Hale and Hearty @ 70.
    I believe in him. Now if the Orioles could come to their senses and get a decent pitching coach…..

      I’d rather have Buehrle in a dbacks uniform.  Our starting rotation really needs some veteran presence, and not to say that Kuroda doesn’t have a nice wrap sheet behind him all ready, but Buehrle is someone that the young dbacks staff could look up to.

    I hope the Cubs bring Wood back. We need a Veteran in the pen. Not to mention bringing back a fan fave on a low cost 1 year deal would eases some pain during the season.

    I agree with Cameron.  If none of the Mariners position players get better over the life a Prince Fielder contract he definitely would not be worth the money. 

    Also, the M’s would continue to be terrible.

    Of course the Mariners are not going to go after Fielder!  The owners are very much like big corporations of today.  They will do anything to get more cash for the executives.It has worked for Tampa Bay but it won’t work for the Mariners.  As loyal as the M’s fans are, if they don’t pick up a big hitter in free agency then they will see their revenues go way, way down in 2012.  Being cheap is going to backfire on them.

      There’s a difference between being cheap and being smart enough not to make crippling, long-term investments. Don’t confuse the two.

        There would be nothing crippling to the Mariners with signing Fielder.  It’s even reported by the Seattle Times that the team has “enough cash to fund payrolls in the game’s top tier for several years”

        Ichiro’s contract is over after this next season and that will provide another boatload of cash. 

        For the first time in three years I agree with Geoff Baker when he said, “Those arguing against even trying — citing price as the ultimate reason
        — have to understand that the consequences of inaction could be far
        worse than the cost of overspending on this one bat.”
