Sources: Hanley Ramirez on #RedSox's radar. Willingness to play LF or 3B adds to his appeal. Possible alternative to Sandoval.

#Athletics are looking at Asdrubal Cabrera and Stephen Drew as shortstop replacements. Story via @jaspsch: http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2014/11/10/718...nd-stephen-drew …

 

 

Forgot about Cabrera. With the Cubs (Castro/Baez/Russell), Lowrie, Drew and then Punto/Sogard as internal options, Alexei Ramirez has some competition.

The Orioles offered Nelson Cruz a three-year deal before he went into free agency. They're positioned to wait out as he talks w/ other teams

Orioles remain in negotiations with outfielder Nick Markakis on a multi-yr. deal; one of the unresolved issues is deferred dollars.

Ok I take back saying I want him. No thanks. Not at that price.

That's a tolerable deal for the Pirates and they ought to pay it.

#Cubs in talks to acquire Jordan Zimmermann from the #Nationals, per @GDubCub

Didn't think the Nat's would consider trading Zimmerman. Cubs must be making quite an offer.

Wouldn't shock me if it's for Castro. If Cubs get Zimmermann and then sign Lester/Martin....well, they have a chance to be damn good

Could very well be Castro. I'm sure its more than Castro but he makes sense. Zimmerman, Lester and Arrieta is a pretty formidable front 3.

Going off of last year's stats, it would easily be the best in baseball. Hopefully it's not for Baez, as I don't think he's a difference maker.

Apparently the cubs are taking with Masterson as well. Look out, here come the cubs.

Zimmerman is a monster.

 

How many years does he have until FA?

 

I would ask for more than Castro if I was the Nationals...Castro and CJ Edwards, maybe. They definitely can't afford to accept Baez and Edwards alone after what happened last year with those two guys. Even if Alcantara was added as a sweetener.

1 year before free agency, but sounds like Cubs will only do the deal if they can extend him.

Too many Zimmermans, haha.

 

If they can get an extension (see F.Garcia 2004) agreed to, then he's worth the equivalent of Reed/Morse/Olivo, essentially.

 

If I was the Cubs, it would be Castro and Edwards, with Russell taking over SS.

Heard on MLB Network that an unknown tean offered Billy Butler 3years $30M. Any thing on twitter about this ?

Sullivan is now saying names were never exchanged and there will not be a trade between the cubs and Nat's.

Zimmerman is worth way more than Castro. Nats need to dig deep if they are moving Zimmerman

Among possibilities #Braves are considering: Trading a reliever for a back-end starter.

I wonder what kind of ridiculous package it'd take to get Cashner.

Tyson Ross seems like a guy the Sox would go after.

Couldn't be that much, right? Good-not-great starter with two more years of cheap control before free agency.
