AP Photo White Sox GM Kenny Williams always seems to have some deal in the works, so it's no surprise that the Sox are involved in some of the early trade chatter during the off-season. His boldest move last season was landing Jake Peavy from the cash-strapped San Diego Padres, and he might use the Padres' financial situation to try to land another of their star players. Preliminary talks suggest...

Talking to Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune, free agent DH Jim Thome reiterated yesterday that he'd be willing to return to the White Sox for the 2010 season.

Ken Griffey Jr. is returning for what figures to be his swan song, a second straight season in Seattle that figures to see him serve strictly off the bench. Junior is receiving a $2 million base salary with incentives that could bring in another million. Some are stunned that general manager Jack Zduriencik would make this move: 'Z' has proven over the last year to have a very astute mind and is a...

Athletics general manager Billy Beane is looking at possible third base acquisitions, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. The A's face uncertainty with hot corner options Eric Chavez, Adam Kennedy, and Brett Wallace. Slusser says the A's are emphasizing youth and "unlikely to spend much money on free agents." So you have to question my earlier guesses that the A's will...

Here goes: 1. Brett Myers will not be back with the team. According to this report in the Philadelphia Inquirer , the never-dull righty will not be offered a contract. There could be many reasons for this -- that the Phillies have doubts about his health, his maturity, clubhouse chemistry, or his ability to pitch consistently. This would have been more of a surprise had Myers not had a dust up with...
