Shawn Estes

Odds and Ends: Sabathia, Loretta, Patterson

By Tim Dierkes | December 7, 2007 at 2:13pm CDT

You know the drill, here’s a roundup of some rumor nuggets.  I’ll update the  post continuously throughout the day.

  • Corey Patterson wants a multiyear deal, which probably isn’t something the Rangers want to do.
  • The Indians met with C.C. Sabathia’s agent on Thursday, but have yet to submit an extension proposal.  That will happen this month, most likely.
  • Check out how excited Pirates Rule 5 pick Evan Meek was.  Pretty cool.
  • The Astros expect Mark Loretta to accept their offer of arbitration.  The deadline is midnight tonight for players to decide.  Despite what Ed Wade says I doubt they really want a $4MM utility player.
  • David Wells, Jon Lieber, and Brett Tomko are the types of names the Reds are considering.  Tomko came up a Red but went to Seattle in the Griffey deal.  Boomer is also a former Red.
  • The Padres signed Shawn Estes, but it sounds like they’ve only made an offer to Milton Bradley.
  • Andy MacPhail didn’t say no when asked whether he had interest in Eric Gagne and Octavio Dotel.  Didn’t say yes, either.

ESPN’s Latest: Sosa, Prior, Kuroda, Reyes

By Tim Dierkes | December 4, 2007 at 11:20pm CDT

UPDATE, 12-4-07 at 11:19pm: Ah, the truth comes out.  Sammy Sosa’s people approached the Royals, but they weren’t interested.

FROM 12-4-07 at 3:17pm:

ESPN has a huge team at the Meetings; here are some tidbits that haven’t appeared elsewhere on MLBTR.

  • Enrique Rojas says the Royals have interest in Sammy Sosa.  Could that indicate a Mark Teahen trade is in the works also?  Teahen is expected to move to first base to accomodate Jose Guillen, which would push Billy Butler to DH.  But Sammy can only DH.
  • Buster Olney says the Rangers and Padres are in on Mark Prior.
  • The Padres also like lefties Glendon Rusch and Shawn Estes, and may sign both after the Rule 5 as a means of adding starting depth.
  • Jayson Stark says the Mariners made an offer to Hiroki Kuroda in the range of four years, $45MM.
  • Jerry Crasnick says Anthony Reyes is generating a lot of interest.  The Cards, by the way, are open to trading Rick Ankiel, Chris Duncan, or Jim Edmonds.
  • The Rockies have gotten in touch with Marcus Giles’ agent.
  • The Astros aren’t interested in Jon Lieber, despite previous reports.  They liked Matt Clement a bit among the injury guys but are over him now.
  • Ryan Howard’s agent and the Phillies will sit down soon to talk about a long-term deal.
