Friday Hot Stove
Update 3:25 - Well apparently even Peter Abraham can be wrong. It appears, Vizcaino is indeed signing with the Rockies for that 2 year deal.
Update 2:25 - Luis Vizcaino, rumored to be signing with the Rockies, agreed to a 2-year, $7 million deal with the Brewers.
So what's going on in the minds of the Houston Astros' front office and their fans? They may have suspected that Miguel Tejada would be named in a steroid report- his name had surfaced before- but did they expect it would happen one day after they traded for him? Surely if they had waited they could have gotten him for less than 5 players.
The Astros are also interested in Mark Prior, who happened to be named in the report as well.
Eric Gagne, not surprisingly, was on the list yesterday as well. Are the Brewers still happy they gave him $10 million?
Johan Santana will want a contract extension of at least 7 years and $140 million. According to a report from the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Santana's agent gave that info to the Yankees, Red Sox, and Mets.
The Blue Jays inked veteran David Eckstein to a 1-year, $4.5 million deal. Oh and in case you missed it, Howie Clark, the Blue Jays infielder that A-Rod yelled, "HAH" at, was named in the Mitchell Report yesterday. Maybe that's why A-Rod was yelling!
The Twins signed Adam Everett, the same day the shortstop was non-tendered by the Astros. Everett, signed to a 1-year, $2.8 million deal, certainly won't help the Twins' lineup.
The Nationals signed Rob Macowiak and Willie Harris, to help strengthen their bench.
The Phillies are looking at Akinori Otsuka to help out their bullpen. Otsuka was non-tendered by the Rangers.
The Rays are working on a deal to bring Cliff Floyd to the AL.
The Cubs are thinking of making a run at Twins' closer Joe Nathan.
The Rangers have signed pitcher Kazuo Fukumori (not to be confused with Fukudome) to a 2-year, $3 million deal, with an option for 2010.
