Jamey Carroll Close To Signing; Nats, Indians In The Mix

By Steve Adams | January 9, 2014 at 11:50am CDT

11:50am: Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reports that the market for Carroll is indeed heating up, and the Nationals and Indians are in the mix (Twitter link).

11:17am: Veteran utility infielder Jamey Carroll is finalizing a deal with an unspecified team and expects to complete the deal today or tomorrow, reports ESPN's Jerry Crasnick (via Twitter). The soon-to-be 40-year-old is represented by Millennium Sports Management.

Carroll struggled in 2013 and was unable to replicate the solid numbers he posted for the Twins in his age-38 season. After slashing .268/.343/.317 in 537 plate appearances and playing solid defense at shortstop, second and third for Minnesota in 2012, he hit just .211/.267/.251 in 249 PAs between Minnesota and Kansas City this season. He did reach a career milestone by collecting his 1,000th base hit.

      Funny! Maybe they can get a special on rocking chairs for the clubhouse…

    Very well could be with NYY, they need more IF depth.

      Yankees seem to be more vocal about their signings. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was a depth move for the Red Sox. They might have passed on Drew and signed Carroll if they want a veteran presence to back up Middlebrooks and Boegarts.

      Certainly fits their criteria for never having played 1B in his career…

    If the Jays get another elderly utility player (since they’re rumoured to be in on Carroll), success will not be immanent. At least one could expect Carroll wouldn’t ever be batting clean-up like Mark DeRosa did last year 😐

    I hope Jamey finds out before the season starts.

    I hope it’s not the Dodgers…This news has made me want the Dodgers to sign M.Young for that backup slot now.

      I wouldn’t mind if the Indians got him back as a utility man if Aviles is going to start every day at SS (if Asdrubal is traded) or starting or platooning with Santana at 3rd (if they pull the plug on Chisenhall)

        Chisenhall will get the majority of starts at 3B with Aviles taking 3B against harder lefties and spelling Asdrubal at SS. I find it unlikely that Santana will see much time at 3B this year. I don’t see a spot for Carroll on this team unless Asdrubal is traded.
