According to sources familiar with the negotiations, the Red Sox’ initial contract offer to free agent catcher Jason Varitek this offseason was for one year. It was not determined what the monetary worth of the offer would be, although indications were that it didn’t approach the annual average commanded by Jorge Posada ($13.1 million).

There is some speculation of Inge moving to SS, and Larish taking over at 3rd base. Inge was a SS before coming to the Tigers organization.

ANOTHER old guy in San Fran?
ANOTHER old guy in San Fran?
I hadn't heard that one yet ....
How good is Larish in the field ....
Mike Hessman is the 3b in Toledo, very god D and a power hitter.
What do we know about Larish so far ?

OH OH! The Angels may be letting a big fish get away...and landing the BIG KAHUNA!!!!!
Angels' attention shifts from Mark Teixeira to CC Sabathia - Los Angeles Times

Maybe this is the contract that Sabathia is holding off for! He's originally from Vallejo, Cali and all his family still lives there. I'm sure he'd love to head west.
Bitter? None. I've already gotten over the fact that he won't be returning to the Indians. As long as he doesn't go to a divisional rival, I'm fine with it.
That makes no sense. I didn't think pitching was a FA priority for the Angels...

I REALLY wanna see him in the NL so I can watch that big ol' boy hit!
Didn't he play in Toledo? I was hoping you knew more about him. All I know is what I saw here in Detroit. The Free Press had his total stats for the year (including the Arizona Fall League) and they were pretty impressive. Not sure about the glove.
Mets Rumors: K-Rod, Dye, Vazquez

6:22pm: According to SI.com's Jon Heyman, Minaya has reached out to K-Rod and Fuentes. He says the Mets prefer free agency to trading.
We also have a rumor from Joel Sherman of the New York Post. He says the Mets offered Aaron Heilman to the Rockies for Street shortly after Colorado acquired him. The Rox wanted the Mets to add Pedro Feliciano, and the Mets refused. MetsBlog has more insight into the team's plans.

1:33pm: Rounding up today's Mets rumors...
- On Friday, David Lennon of Newsday said the Mets had received Francisco Rodriguez's medical records. He also had Omar Minaya saying the club's doctors were looking it over. However, Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post writes today that the Mets did not receive the records until yesterday afternoon. According to Hubbuch, the Mets told Paul Kinzer they'll get back to him after Thanksgiving regarding K-Rod.
- Hubbuch names five other Mets targets: Brian Fuentes, Kerry Wood, Trevor Hoffman, J.J. Putz, and Huston Street.
- Adam Rubin of the New York Daily News talked to Minaya, who said the Mets have not made offers to any free agents yet.
- In case you missed it, Ken Rosenthal had several Mets nuggets in today's column. He said the Mets balked at Chicago's asking price for Jermaine Dye, and aren't enamored with Javier Vazquez. Rosenthal believes the Rays' Andy Sonnanstine "represents a more desirable target" for the Mets.
- SI.com's Jon Heyman rattles off a list of the Mets' free agent targets, which does not include Manny Ramirez.
Yes,
He did play in Toledo, but I was not paying close attention to them much this year as I concentrated on the Big League team more this year...
I'll have to dig up some info on him.

I could see this happening ....CC to the Angels, I would like to see that, as long as he doesn't go to the Yankees, I don't care.
The union won't tell him where to play, this is NOT a Alex Rodreguiz situation.
ANGELS AFTER CC AND PEAVY????!!!!!!
