Dodgers Sign Casey Blake

By Tim Dierkes | December 9, 2008 at 8:55pm CDT

8:55pm: There’s also a club option for a fourth year.

7:51pm: Tony Jackson says it’s $17.5MM over three years for Blake.

TUESDAY, 12:28pm: ESPN’s Jayson Stark says the Dodgers have reached an agreement with Blake for three years and slightly more than $17.1MM.  The Twins apparently offered two years, $14MM.  He adds that Mark Loretta’s deal is for one year and $1.25MM.

MONDAY, 11:09pm: Jackson has Colletti saying there’s no agreement in place, and they’ll meet again with Blake’s agent Tuesday.  Ken Rosenthal says a three-year, $17MM deal is close.

9:47pm: Jayson Stark says the Dodgers are inching toward a Blake deal, but only have two guaranteed years on the table.

8:05pm: Jackson now says a three-year, $17MM deal with Blake could be announced tonight.

7:09pm: Tony Jackson says the Dodgers are not close to signing Blake, though Colletti sounds more hopeful.  Dylan Hernandez says the Dodgers offered Blake three years at nearly $6MM per, and could get an answer tonight.

4:40pm: Colletti hinted to MLB.com’s Ken Gurnick that his offer for Blake is for three years.  Also, second baseman Orlando Hudson is apparently not on the Dodgers’ radar.

3:10pm: Yahoo’s Tim Brown says the Dodgers raised their offer to three years and are nearing an agreement with Blake.

12:55pm: According to Ken Rosenthal, the Dodgers are waiting to hear back from Casey Blake about a recent offer.  They should hear his decision today.  Blake is reportedly seeking three guaranteed years.

Rockies Rumors: Redding, Gonzalez, Turnbow, Blanco

By Tim Dierkes | December 9, 2008 at 8:40pm CDT

8:40pm: Rosenthal says the Rockies and Nats are discussing a Redding for Taveras swap.

4:06pm: Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune says the Rockies have had internal discussions about Henry Blanco.  I imagine they’d have to ship out Yorvit Torrealba first.

3:17pm: Troy Renck learned from team sources that the Rockies will not trade Gonzalez this winter.

1:25pm: MLB.com’s Bill Ladson says the Nats and Rockies met for a half hour yesterday, talking about Redding and Carlos Gonzalez.  At the trade deadline, the Nationals wanted Dexter Fowler for Redding.  Really?

1:57am: Rockies rumors for Tuesday…

  • According to Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post, the Rockies have discussed trading for Nationals starter Tim Redding.  Redding is under team control for two more years.  On one hand the last thing the Nationals can spare is pitching, but on the other Redding is getting pricey and is a back-end guy anyway.
  • Renck contends that the Nationals maintain some interest in Willy Taveras.  Ken Rosenthal wrote recently that the Nats "aren’t terribly enamored" of the speedy outfielder.
  • The Rockies are one of three teams confirmed to be in on Derrick Turnbow, who will work out for teams in January.  The Pirates and Giants have also expressed interest.
  • Sometime in January, the Rockies will look into a long-term extension for starter Ubaldo Jimenez.

Delmon Young Rumors

By Tim Dierkes | December 9, 2008 at 8:22pm CDT

8:22pm: Doesn’t sound like the Rays will acquire Delmon Young, but Aaron Gleeman does believe the Twins will move him.

5:49pm: Renck said below that the Rockies had not spoken to teams about Atkins, though LEN3 says they’ve talked to the Twins about him.  Seems that the price is too high for the Twins, anyway.

4:40pm: MLB.com’s Kelly Thesier talked to a source who said it’s highly unlikely the Rays reacquire Young.

3:18pm: Troy Renck says the Rockies have not spoken to teams about Atkins.  But it should be noted that Stark has only speculating with the Rockies portion of the below rumor.

10:53am: ESPN’s Jayson Stark is now speaking of "indications Monday night that Tampa Bay was still talking to the Twins about a deal that would bring outfielder Delmon Young back to the Rays."  Stark speculates that it could be a three-team deal where the Rays ship out Andy Sonnanstine or Edwin Jackson, maybe to Colorado as a means of getting Garrett Atkins to Minnesota.  Stark had a source yesterday saying the Rays would "never" take Young back, but that has apparently changed.

Yesterday, there was quite a bit of chatter about the Phillies doing their homework on Young.  And keep in mind the Rockies had interest too.
