Doug Melvin

Odds and Ends: Teixeira, Giles, Beimel

By Tim Dierkes | November 19, 2008 at 3:00pm CDT

Links for Wednesday…

  • You can hear me on Lenny Melnick’s radio show at about 7:15pm CST.
  • The Marlins could be an interesting long shot for Raul Ibanez, but he’d have to leave significant money on the table.
  • Indians manager Eric Wedge really wants the team to bring in a closer.
  • George King likes Jason Giambi for the Rays; Cork Gaines imagines the negotiations.
  • Jesse Spector talking to Brewers GM Doug Melvin, who wasn’t in a revealing mood.
  • Tony Massarotti expects the Red Sox to make a huge offer to Mark Teixeira.
  • Padres outfielder Brian Giles doesn’t expect to be traded this winter.  If the team is in the tank next summer he might approve a deal, perhaps contingent on a contract extension.
  • Jacob Jackson says Kevin Towers has handled the Jake Peavy negotiations poorly so far.
  • Former Reds GM Wayne Krivsky could end up in Baltimore’s front office.
  • Bernie Williams is still not ready to retire.
  • Derrick Goold believes the Cardinals have $17-21MM to spend.
  • At least six clubs are in on Joe Beimel.  The Tigers are one, while the Cardinals, Rockies, and Mets may be others.

Brewers Keep Melvin As GM; Sveum Out As Manager

By Alejandro Leal | October 18, 2008 at 9:33am CDT

Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that the Brewers have decided to let interim manager Dale Sveum go after his 12-day tenure following Ned Yost’s firing.

GM Doug Melvin, however, has been extended for three years.

According to Haudricourt, the Brewers are considering Buck Showalter, Bob Brenly and Ken Macha.

Melvin Extension Near Complete?

By Tim Dierkes | October 17, 2008 at 9:36am CDT

According to Tracy Ringolsby of the Rocky Mountain News, "Doug Melvin is finalizing details on a new three-year deal in Milwaukee."  Melvin is already signed through 2009.

If Melvin stays on board, he’ll first determine the team’s manager.  After that, like many GMs, he has all kinds of personnel issues.

Heyman’s Latest: K-Rod, Furcal, Blalock

By Tim Dierkes | October 15, 2008 at 5:59pm CDT

Non-Manny notes from Jon Heyman’s latest…

  • The Angels and Mets "appear hesitant" to give Francisco Rodriguez five years.  There’s not an obvious suitor to overpay K-Rod, but the Mets are the closest.
  • Heyman sees Brian Fuentes getting about $11MM per year.  Ken Rosenthal recently suggested even more money.
  • Doug Melvin could become a candidate for the Mariners job if the Brewers aren’t able to extend him.  Doesn’t seem to make sense since Melvin is signed through 2009.
  • Heyman believes Chris Antonetti in Cleveland is contractually guaranteed the GM job in the future.
  • The Dodgers will try to re-sign Rafael Furcal, no surprise there.
  • A scout sang the praises of Hank Blalock’s second-half hitting (.281/.324/.532 after the break).  Blalock may be on the trading block.
