The Rangers are willing to give up Juan Dominguez in return for Shawn Chacon.

Colorado is still hoping for Ian Kinsler, but that's unlikely to happen. Dominguez would be a candidate to act as Colorado's fifth starter if dealt. Dec. 12 - 2:39 pm et

The Mariners' offer for Adrian Beltre is worth $62 million over five years, the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Beltre reportedly wants a seven-year, $90 million contract. Both the Dodgers and Mariners seem to be growing increasingly frustrated with agent Scott Boras, who has little interest in getting a deal done anytime soon. Dec. 12 - 2:58 pm et

Way too much money for a one year wonder. :headshake

Wow, 12.4 Mil a Year for Beltre...he MIGHT be worth it, but way to risky.

Boras is pissing people off. Imagine that.

Shagar, I'd give up BMac too if we got Hudson, but ONLY if we could sign him to an extension.

of yea, definitley. if we cant sign him to an extension itd be stupid to give up Bmac

According to ESPN's Peter Gammons, Toronto could have Corey Koskie signed this afternoon.

It's going to be a three-year deal worth about $17 million. Dec. 12 - 3:04 pm et

 

Free agent Steve Kline ranks right behind Corey Koskie and Matt Clement as a priority for the Blue Jays.

With the Yankees and Red Sox deciding to go in different directions, the market for Kline hasn't been nearly as strong as expected. That may change after the teams that fail to land quality starters decide to spend their money elsewhere. Dec. 12 - 3:01 pm et

Jays are gonna overpay for Clement.

 

 

I can see it now. :headshake

signing koskie means that the jays will be more likely to trade hinske. how bout hinske, wells, batista, for crede, lee, diaz, and borchard

just say no to hinske -- there's a reason they're trying to get rif of him.

i think he could be a change of scenery guy. and same with crede.

Two former Cubs farmhands is enough for me.

Jason, get off the drugs.  There is NO way a GM would or should make such a trade unless they KNOW they can re-sign Hudson.

Why not. If you know his price is about 12 mill a year and if KW gets the approval to make such and offer I see no reason why not.

 

Hudson is an absolute ace. I love BMac and would absolutely hate dealing him, but I am confident the Sox could reup with Hudson (JR would have to approve giving big money to him prior to making the deal).

 

Hudson also gives the Sox an absolutely KILLER rotation. All I know is the Sox can do better then Jackson/Perez. Thats an awful trade from the A's perspective, I don't care what anyone tells me.

 

A pitcher of Hudson's ability is not a guy you give up for one upper echelon pitching prospect.

i could see KW hearing that Vazquez for Burnett is close and i can see him running to cashman making a solid offer to get him

Why not offer Contreras and cash for Burnett

How's this for a rumor? Seems like a relatively quiet winter meetings for all the pre-meetings hype.

I was thinking the same thing YAS.

i think i speak for more people then just myself... but proper grammer isnt the first thing on your mind when you are typing at about 60+ WPM on a blog of a msg board about a baseball team... this isnt a physics thesis or anything like that 

Easy tiger.

 

Chisoxfn's grammar is a running joke at Soxtalk.

12 million a year for Hudson would be a steal.Gammons said Clement will probably sign with the Angels for $9 million a year.

Don't know how much truth there is to this, but on the Dodgers board someone posted that Gammons was on ESPNEWS saying the Angels were close to signing Clement to a 3 year $27 million deal (SAME AS GARCIA.)

 

Talk about overpaying :headshake

I disagree in the sense that I think Clement is one of the better pitchers out there. I'm a huge Clement fan and he's going to be a good AL pitcher or NL pitcher.

 

He's on the brink of turning a corner too and with the Angels offense things should pick up for him.

When you have the money you can over pay anytime you want. What dodger board you talking about?

With the angels offense i think 18 games is a possibility for him to win.

Then I went to the Angels board and they have a big thread on how they don't like the Clement signing.

Jas, do you think there is a chance now that Washburn will be non tendered?? I think he'd be a very good pickup if the sox can't find another starter out there.
