First re-signing off the offseason goes to the Indians. Jason Giambi is headed back to the Tribe. Got a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training. He'll be trying to crack the roster again at age 43.

Of that group, the Sox probably end up keeping Salty, Napoli, and maybe Ellsbury.

The Mets have a lot of holes to fill. Word is they want to repeat the Red Sox' offseason plan of not giving out huge deals or anything, just giving out reasonable short term deals to veteran players. Problem is a bunch of other teams will try the same approach, which will lead to needing to overpay anyway. But they should. They need to do SOMETHING. Alderson has said for three years now that the 2013-14 offseason is when they will have a lot of money coming off the books. Time to put up or shut up.

Can't go into another Mets season trying to convince myself that players like Brad Emaus, Andres Torres, or Collin Cowgill matter.

Phillies will probably re-sign both Halladay and Ruiz.

Could see the Rangers bringing back both OF and probably Lewis. Hoping Berkman lands somewhere. Big fan of that guy.

Yankees resign Capt. Jeter to a 1-year, $12 mil. deal.

Yeah, I don't know how this works. There was a player option for $9.5 mil. and supposedly if they cut a new deal they save around $3 mil. and change to get below $189.

Get your tickets early, me thinks this is the last year of the last of the Core Four.

I love how if you're a former catcher, you really don't even need to have managerial experience at this point. It's just implied that you'll be good.

Brad Ausmus can't be any worse than AJ Hinch. He has a low bar to hurdle.

Ortiz is on something. Pretty damn sure of it. No one gets a "second wind" like him without some sort of performance enhancement.

Jr. Griffey never did any. How do I know? Because he sucked at the end of his career like a baseball player should.

I was a huge Paul O'Neill mark, saw it happen to him. Saw it happen to Piazza, Jeff Kent, Griffey and Larry Walker. Awesome talent indeed declines, it does not naturally follow the tracks of Clemens, Bonds, Ortiz, etc...

According to Peter Gammons and others, the Cubs currently likely to name Rick Renteria as their new manager tomorrow but he wasn't their top choice.

The Cubs were more interested in Torey Lovullo but were unable to get the Red Sox to change the terms in the deal that sent Theo Epstein to the Cubs. The biggest being the Cubs couldn't hire any more Red Sox personnel within the near future.
