Nashville - Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings have came to a close this year. This year has been one of the slower Winter Meetings. Last year Angels signed Albert Pujols, and C.J Wilson, The Marlins signed Jose Reyes, Mark Buerhle, and Heath Bell. Just excitement and huge deals going on everyday! This year not so much but there was some news.
Phillies traded Vince Worley to the Twins for their top young CF Ben Revere. With the aquisation of Revere the Phillies will stop pursuit of CF Michael Bourn. Phillies are also rumered to be in trade talks with Rangers INF Michael Young.
Nationals solidified themselves as one of the best pitching rotations in the MLB with Signing Dan Haren to a 1 yr deal. If Haren can stay healthy the Nationals could be filthy. Strasburg, Gonzalez, Zimmerman, Haren, Detwiller.
Yankees offered Youkilis a 1yr 12M contract. Youkilis has yet to agree.
Former Dodger James Looney signed a 1yr deal with Tampa Bay.
The Red Sox signed Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino to a twin 39 million contract.
With saying that there is still plenty of big name free agents out there. Josh Hamilton, Zack Grienke, Michael Bourn, Anibal Sanchez, and Ryan Dempster. With the Braves signing B.J Upton and the Phillies signing Ben Revere. I'd suspect Michael Bourns stock to drop significantly. Where Hamilton or Grienke will land noone knows. Grienke was supposedly offered a 5 yr 150M by the dodgers but he doesnt want to go there. Hopefulle we will get some announcements this week.
