Grady Sizemore

Odds & Ends: Rangers, Wang, Indians

By Mark Polishuk | February 13, 2010 at 10:35pm CDT

A few links to pass along….

  • Jon Daniels says "it's less than 50-50" that the Rangers make any more moves before spring training, reports Jeff Wilson of The Dallas Morning News.  Wilson adds that Rod Barajas and Rocco Baldelli have been connected to Texas this winter, and the Rangers might also be interested in a platoon partner for Chris Davis.
  • Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Cardinals are out of the Chien-Ming Wang sweepstakes.  We've already learned that the Nationals are the favorites to sign the right-hander.
  • Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer answers some reader mail that covers such topics as a possible Grady Sizemore trade and Omar Vizquel's somewhat surprising criteria for picking a new city.
  • Orlando Cabrera and Aaron Miles aren't exactly the first two names that leap to mind when you're thinking about October baseball, but Reds GM Walt Jocketty said that the duo's playoff experience was a factor in their acquisition, reports John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
  • Larry Stone of the Seattle Times provides a general recap of the 2009-10 offseason.

Odds & Ends: Brewers, Cubs, Looper, Baer, Wigginton

By Tim Dierkes | February 8, 2010 at 5:23pm CDT

Links for Monday…

  • MLB.com's Adam McCalvy posts an unofficial list of Brewers' players who are out of options. Joe Inglett and George Kottaras appear to be the players most on the bubble.
  • In a mailbag, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat says that the Cubs are still looking for righthanded relief help.
  • MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince explains that Grady Sizemore's 2012 club option becomes a player option if traded.  He also notes that the Indians are not in on Felipe Lopez.
  • Braden Looper will not settle for a low base salary or a minor league deal, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.
  • The Biz of Baseball now has Opening Day and year-end payroll data by team.
  • Giants president Larry Baer mentioned MLBTR in a recent KNBR interview with Ralph Barbieri and Tom Tolbert.
  • Roch Kubatko of MASN believes it's possible the Orioles will trade Ty Wigginton.  Wiggy has $3.5MM coming in 2010.
  • Benjamin Kabak of River Ave. Blues ponders the benefits of the Yankees bringing Gary Sheffield back on a minor league deal.
  • Dave Cameron of FanGraphs would like the Mariners to spend a few million on Jarrod Washburn, provided he'd be willing to pitch out of the bullpen when Erik Bedard is ready.
  • ESPN's Tim Kurkjian explains why the Reds should sign Johnny Damon.

Indians Notes: Nakamura, Sizemore, Acta

By Luke Adams 2 | November 1, 2009 at 9:44am CDT

A few Cleveland Indians-related links to sort through this morning. Let's take a look….

  • The Indians will sign Japanese right-hander Takafumi Nakamura to a minor-league deal, according to Patrick Newman at NPB Tracker. Newman suggests that the Chuo University pitcher isn't one of the more "high-profile" draft prospects, but that he has shown he can strike out college hitters. An official contract should come sometime soon.
  • Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer answers fans' questions in a Tribe-centric mailbag. One reader asks about the possibility of the Indians dealing Grady Sizemore to the Chicago Cubs. Hoynes opines that if the team's trading patterns stay consistent, after the way they dealt with Cliff Lee and Victor Martinez, then they probably wouldn't consider moving Sizemore until 2011.
  • Within a mostly football-focused piece, Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer shares a few thoughts on the Indians as well. He thinks that Terry Francona would be a good role model for Manny Acta, given that Francona made appropriate adjustments after an unsuccessful initial managerial stint. Pluto also writes that one of Acta's main goals will be to get a bounce-back season out of Jhonny Peralta in 2010.

Odds & Ends: Brewers, Sizemore, Gomes

By Mike Axisa | September 11, 2009 at 6:46pm CDT

Curious about how untouchable Grady Sizemore is? I had to create a category for him just for this post. In the entire history of MLBTR, no one ever bothered to write any rumors about him…

  • ESPN's Keith Law writes that the Brewers "are closer to noncontention than contention, and trying to prop the playoff window open for another year or two could lead to a miserable bottoming-out not far down the road." He suggests they trade megastar Prince Fielder to help fill other holes, and build the team around Ryan Braun and Yovani Gallardo.
  • Jim Ingraham of The News Herald believes that the recent trades of Cliff Lee and Victor Martinez have effectively shortened the Indians' window to win with Grady Sizemore. Sizemore's contract runs through 2011 with a dirt cheap option for 2012, but Ingraham says there's "no reason to believe when Sizemore becomes a free agent after the 2012 season he won't leave whatever team he is with and sign a monstrous contract with one of the big-market teams."
  • Jonny Gomes is open to returning to the Reds next season, but says he'll "go where I can get the most at-bats," according to Hal McCoy of The Dayton Daily News. Gomes is making $600K this season and is arbitration eligible next year, so he can expect a hefty raise thanks to his .281/.355/.555 batting line.
