Daily Rumors from MLB Trade Rumors
- The Diamondbacks signed first round pick Daniel Schlereth.
- If Ryan Church comes back, the Mets might focus on a right handed outfielder; Raul Ibanez is a lefty, and the price for Matt Holliday, Xavier Nady, and Jason Bay appears too high.
- The Mets feel the asking price for Brian Fuentes is also too high.
- Look for the Mets to promote Jon Niese and/or Fernando Martinez if a deal isn't made.
- People close to Pedro Alvarez expect him to come to terms with the Pirates soon.
- Francisco Rodriguez was offered 3 years $34MM by the Angels this past off season.
- The Yankees have confirmed interest in Richie Sexson.
- Expect the Indians to trade Casey Blake.
- Juan Rivera is not being made available by the Angels.
- The price for the NY clubs to get Fuentes: Niese from the Mets, or Ian Kennedy from the Yankees.
- Some are expecting the Red Sox to inquire about Matt Holliday in the off-season as a replacement for Manny Ramirez.
- Holliday won't be traded until Jason Bay is; the Rockies want to see what the market value for Bay is and bump it up for Holliday.
