Rumor Roundup
Sorry about the writer's block lately, I'm sure I'll get over it soon enough. In the meantime, some rumors to keep you going.
- Bruce Miles throws out some numbers on the Aramis deal. He's careful to use the term may to describe the figures, but here they are anyway. Ramirez may be asking for 6 years/$15 million per year while Hendry may be offering 5/$14 mil per year at the moment. If there's any truth to those figures, then get the freakin' deal done Hendry.
- Miles also says the Cubs aren't so hot on Sheffield as other papers seem to believe.
- The Trib has the Cubs potentially going after Aaron Heilman as a 5th starter/bullpen guy.
- Daisuke Matsuzaka is about to be posted. I think teams have 4 days to get their bids in and then 30 days to negotiate a deal. I could be wrong about that.
- Maddux and the Dodgers are talking new deal. Maddux wants 2 years, the Dodgers are offering one.
- Alfonso Soriano is asking for 7/$119 mil for his new deal. The Phils may start talks at 5/$80 mil.
- Supposedly the Mets and Glavine are close on a 2/$25 deal.
