Off to Nashville!

Tuesday, December 4, 2007

For those of you that have not heard, I will be going to Nashville tomorrow for the Baseball Winter Meetings. They are very busy, so I expect to be very busy bringing you updates as I hear them. If you notice the side bar on the left, it says "Live from Nashville," that is where the most up to date rumors will be coming from tomorrow. I have contacted GM's, Agents, and Reporters all week so I expect to meet with all of them and get whatever I can. Wish me luck!

To close out the night, lets wrap up what is going on:

- The Dodgers, Mariners, and Diamondbacks are all offering just about the same amount for Hiroki Kuroda. This would be a great time a for a sleeper team to make a big offer and sign him.

- The Brewers are looking for a closer, but do not want to give up too much for him.

- The Padres and Astros have broken off for the night on Luke Scott but plan to keep working tomorrow.

- The Padres have made an offer to Kosuke Fukudome.

- The Reds are interested in Erik Bedard and are willing to shop Joey Votto.

- The Rockies will turn to Marcus Giles.

- The Orioles are showing even more interest in Michael Barrett.

- Omar Minaya is desperate to make a move.

- The Red Sox will wait to trade Coco Crisp.

- The Nationals and White Sox are talking a trade that would send Juan Uribe to the Nationals for possible Saul Rivera and a minor leaguer.

- The Rangers are meeting with the agents of Eric Gagne.

More tomorrow...from Nashville!

Joey Votto would only be the starting point in the Reds quest for Bedard. Are they willing to part with Jay Bruce, because that's what I think it would take. The competition would be just too strong for Votto alone to get it done.
