Just want to keep our baseball readers up to date. As always, rotoworld.com is the best source outside of The Swamp's own offseason rumors thread. Here are a few of their latest nuggets. Remember these are just rumors at this point:
- Greg Maddux, or rather, Scott Boras wants a two-year deal. The Padres are only willing to offer one. Seems silly on the part of the Padres. When was the last time Maddux was seriously injured? Oh yeah. Never.
- The Reds are offering Mark Loretta a two-year deal. Ryan Freel must have slept with the owner's son there or something.
- Julio Lugo to Boston is looking very likely. Downgrade him considerably for your roto drafts. Boston won't let him run close to as much.
- Willy Taveras and an arm to the Rockies for Jason Jennings. And both their roto values would move up with this deal.
- Oakland may sign both Mike Piazza and Cliff Floyd. Hey, look what they were able to get out of Frank Thomas.
- The Orioles will probably overpay for Luis Gonzalez. Shocker.
- Both Gil Meche and Ted Lilly will likely make over $10 million a year for three to four years. And the Gary Matthews deal may not end up being the biggest bust of the offseason.
- Mariners, Mets and Rangers are the two top players for Barry Zito's services.
- Brian Sabean is losing his mind. $15 million over three years for Bengi Molina? Really?
- The White Sox and Giants are the two most aggressive teams as far as outfielders go. Barry Bonds, Vernon Wells, Pat Burrell, etc. are all options.
