AL East Links: Kazmir, Orioles, Epstein, Wakefield

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | February 16, 2012 at 9:08pm CDT

The Red Sox announced minor league deals with Ross Ohlendorf and Mauro Gomez earlier today. Here are the rest of the links from their division…

  • The Red Sox will not be one of the teams in attendance for Scott Kazmir's workout tomorrow, reports Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe (on Twitter). The southpaw's audition was supposed to be today, but it was pushed back.
  • Korean pitching prospect Seong-Min Kim originally agreed to a $575K deal with the Orioles, Ben Badler of Baseball America reports.
  • Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun hears that while MLB hasn't approved the contract between the Orioles and the 17-year-old left-hander, MLB didn't technically void it. In any case it seems the deal for Kim will not go through as originally announced.
  • A Red Sox official expects compensation for Theo Epstein to be finalized "very soon," Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe tweets. The Red Sox and Cubs recently sent briefs to the commissioner's office explaining their perspective on the issue of how to compensate Boston for Epstein's departure to Chicago.
  • Agent Barry Meister didn't comment on whether Tim Wakefield will accept a minor league deal from the Red Sox, Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com tweets. It doesn't appear that Wakefield will accept the offer, Edes writes.

    With Wakefield being one of my favourite players, it’s difficult to watch him struggle. He wasn’t Lackey-bad, but he certainly wasn’t much better. He deserves plenty of respect for his career, but I think it’s time he hangs up his spikes and takes an administrative or special assistant/consultant role with the team.

    The Theo Epstein stuff is more annoying than the Oswalt and Burnett stuff combined.

    Please Cubs just send J. Baker to Boston so this can end and the Cubs can move on.

    Guys we’re missing the really big news here: Ross Ohlendorf!!!

    (I think it’d be hilarious if he plays a role in the bullpen though. Aceves, Melancon, and Ohlendorf shutting down the Yankees for 4 innings in a game would be the coolest thing)

    This is going to be a blast when the compensation decree is handed down by Selig.  Make it fair, Commissioner.  People are going to be unhappy whatever you do, so you might as well do it soon, and let the two teams adapt afterwards.

    No way, the Sox aren’t in on a pitcher that’s trying to prove himself??

    Boston’s compensation will be Alfonso Soriano and his contract.

        Obviously that was a typo, I meant Trey.
