Cable Guy Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 By Ben Nicholson-Smith [November 10 at 5:01pm CST]If you've had a busy couple days, you're probably overwhelmed by the number of rumors that have surfaced. But worry not - here's a summary of what's happened at the Chicago GM Meetings so far: * The Twins are considering verteran starters, including Carl Pavano. * Nick Green and Joey Gathright became free agents. The Red Sox prevented Victor Martinez from reaching free agency, when they picked up his 2010 option, and they reached a two-year deal with the ageless Tim Wakefield. Jason Varitek's future with the Red Sox is still uncertain. If he hits the open market, the Mets won't pursue him. * Meanwhile, the Rays made some option decisions of their own. They picked up Carl Crawford's option, but declined their options for Gregg Zaun and Brian Shouse. * The Yankees are likely to check in on Jason Bay, Matt Holliday and John Lackey, but they're focusing on Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui and Andy Pettitte for now. * Holliday and Bay may be too pricey for the Mets. * The Dodgers aren't pursuing Aroldis Chapman. * The Mariners have offered Russell Branyan and Jack Wilson contracts, but Branyan has rejected their offer. * Randy Winn won't be back with the Giants, but there's still a chance Bengie Molina will return. * The Cardinals would like to re-sign Matt Holliday, but they're prepared in case he signs elsewhere. * The Cubs are looking to unload Milton Bradley, and the Rangers would consider re-acquiring him. Texas should be active on the trade market, but won't pursue top free agents. * The Blue Jays won't settle for anything less than elite talent if they deal Roy Halladay. * The Phillies are looking for a third baseman, but don't seem likely to pursue Halladay aggressively. Their division rivals, the Mets, will at least inquire about Doc's availability. * John Smoltz will pitch again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
