Ken Takahashi

Odds and Ends: Halladay, Lopez, Glavine

By Tim Dierkes | November 24, 2008 at 5:00pm CDT

Links for Monday…

  • The Cardinals still don’t have a deal with Trever Miller.
  • Is a multiyear deal coming soon for Jamie Moyer?  Ken Mandel’s source says it’s been delayed only because of scheduling conflicts.
  • The D’Backs released infielder Jamie D’Antona, who is headed to Japan.
  • J.P. Ricciardi says trading Roy Halladay hasn’t even crossed his mind.  Dan Graziano wrote last Wednesday that some continued to insist the Jays would explore trading their ace.
  • River Ave. Blues considers Ben Sheets a better investment than A.J. Burnett for the Yankees.
  • Jim Allen profiled the five Japanese players who plan to come over to MLB.  He’s not high on Junichi Tazawa, Ken Takahashi, or Ryoji Aikawa.
  • I never mentioned this, but the Braves released Rodrigo Lopez earlier this month (thanks to Jeff at Cot’s for the link).
  • Dave van Dyck of the Chicago Tribune talked to White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen about various hot stove issues.
  • Murray Chass talked to Tom Glavine about his future.  Chass’ blog is an oddity – a veteran journalist writing and researching newspaper-style articles for his personal site.
  • Joel Sherman believes the Angels are the Yankees’ biggest threat for C.C. Sabathia.  Ken Davidoff agrees.
  • In another article, Davidoff summarizes the situations of the ten big-name players.
  • Ken Rosenthal talked to an agent who says the market is moving slowly right now.
  • Viva El Birdos assesses the trade value of Ryan Ludwick.
  • South Side Sox offers more thoughts on Dayan Viciedo.

Odds and Ends: Holliday, Takahashi, Lincecum

By Tim Dierkes | November 12, 2008 at 4:00pm CDT

Links for Wednesday…

  • Richard Justice says the Astros should offer Andy Pettitte $7-8MM to come back.
  • Joe Christensen doesn’t see Huston Street landing in Minnesota.
  • Larry Beinfest dismissed a "cyberspace rumor" that the Marlins are planning a run at Manny Ramirez.
  • Gordon Wittenmyer says the Cubs could fit both Jake Peavy and Ryan Dempster into the payroll, and that the Peavy situation will be resolved first.
  • Today is the deadline for MLB.com’s Free Agent Frenzy.  You have until 4pm CST to submit your picks for 15 free agents.  Here are my predictions from November 3rd…I would change the Furcal and Sheets ones for starters.
  • Who had the Matt Holliday scoop?  SI.com’s Jon Heyman broke the story, while Yahoo’s Tim Brown was the first to name the players involved.
  • Holliday figures to be a three to six month rental for the A’s.  Over at FanGraphs, Dave Cameron takes a closer look at Carlos Gonzalez and Greg Smith.  ESPN’s Keith Law says the Rockies received a "fair return" for Holliday.
  • Athletics Nation suggests the A’s sign Derek Lowe.
  • Ken Davidoff looks at the Yankees’ seesawing philosophy. 
  • Japanese southpaw Ken Takahashi intends to sign with an MLB club, and the Mets may be interested.  Nikkan Sports says the Cubs, Padres, and Giants are also in on him.
  • River Ave. Blues looks ahead to Derek Jeter’s next contract.
  • Andrew Baggarly reminds us that Tim Lincecum intends to go year to year.
  • ESPN’s Buster Olney talked to one GM who expects "a whole lot of bargains" in late January, given the nation’s economy.
  • Rany Jazayerli didn’t like the Royals’ acquisition of Mike Jacobs, but doesn’t think it’s the end of the world.
  • Braves GM Frank Wren on Jeff Francoeur: "We haven’t talked about him at all.  It’s not to say that we wouldn’t."
