The Angels, Red Sox, Yankees, and Mets are all in interested in signing free agent John Lackey this winter. According to a report from MLB.com's Bill Ladson, you can add the Washington Nationals to that list as well. Ladson writes that the Nationals are looking for a veteran ace who can tutor pitchers such as John Lannan, Ross Detwiler, and Stephen Strasburg. Washington also flirted with signing a...
Meet the Mets Toby Hyde provides the valuable AFL update . Here's Part 2. While I'm pleased with the strong performances by guys like Ike Davis and the optimistic stories about Jenrry Mejia, I'm keeping the closest watch on the guys who have a legitimate shot at being Mets in 2010 (Josh Thole, Chris Carter, and Nick Evans). Two for three isn't too bad. The Mets will open their Grapefruit League schedule...

Hardy 's estimated arbitration salary likely somewhere around $6 million Minnesota will have approximately $17 million to shell out to their arb-eligible players.

Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic brings home a bunch of Diamondbacks hot stove buzz from the GM Meetings... The Diamondbacks would have to give up their second-round pick if they sign a Type A free agent who turned down arbitration. GM Josh Byrnes told Piecoro he'd consider it if the player came at a discount. You can check our free agent list to see all the types. Piecoro wouldn't be surprised...
Realistic Free Agent Options: Third Base Projecting which free agents the Twins will go after is difficult because their pursuit of low-cost options depends upon how the market shakes out and who drops into their price range. In the past five years they've also wasted money on a lengthy list of washed-up veterans like Tony Batista , Livan Hernandez , Ramon Ortiz , Craig Monroe , Juan Castro , Sidney...
Right-ho, let's do it again. 2:45 am: That's right, I get an early start! • It sounds like the Reds will need to cut payroll. With the Twins still in "adding" mode, would they take a hard look at starters like Aaron Harang or Bronson Arroyo? Or would they attempt to take a run at second baseman Brandon Phillips? • We already knew that Carl Pavano would test the free agent market...
Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports that the Diamondbacks may be interested in free agent right-hander Livan Hernandez. The 35-year-old posted a 5.44 ERA in 31 starts with the Mets and Nationals last season, but as Piecoro notes, Hernandez's primary role in Arizona would be to serve as both a positive clubhouse influence and to eat some innings at the back of the rotation. If Hernandez did...
Livan Hernandez? Livan Hernandez? Per Nick Piecoro, "The only thing we can give you at this point in the day is a fifth-starter possibility: familiar face Livan Hernandez. We’ve heard the Diamondbacks are considering bringing him back, most likely more for his role in the clubhouse and how he can help young players than for his potential performance." "it’s clear the club...
We’ve all wanted to go back in time at certain junctures in our lives: I often imagine myself traveling back to 2002 to try and talk some sense into Dusty Baker before Game 7 of the World Series. Or just to be sure, go to 1975 to prevent Livan Hernandez from being born. But here’s [...]

According to Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com's Twitter page, "Livan Hernandez's agent says his client 'would be interested in returning to the Nationals.'" Hernandez's agent said the Nationals also like Hernandez. It does raise the question: should they? Hernandez got off to a strong start with the Mets in 2009, but was released after tossing 135 innings with a 5.47 ERA. Picked up by Washington,...

I've always said that I became a writer to avoid having to speak, so Arthur Krystal 's essay in the New York Times makes perfect sense to me .

I don't really enjoy this Steve Phillips story. My schadenfreude doesn't really extend to innocent wives and children. I can at least be grateful in the fact that he will not be on television for a little while. Meet the Mets So, Steve Phillips had an affair . Again. Let's bring this back to him hating on Carlos Beltran . Howard Megdal joins the fun. You remember that profit that the Mets might have...
