Odds & Ends: Capps, Holliday, Varitek, Tejada

Let's round up a few more links in a busy day of rumors.... We knew Matt Capps could be a trade chip for the Pittsburgh Pirates this offseason. According to Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pirates offered Capps to the Milwaukee Brewers for J.J. Hardy. Many expect Matt Holliday to end up in New York in 2010, but both the Mets and Yankees are downplaying their interest in the outfielder, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Sherman also writes that if Jason Varitek doesn't exercise his player option, the Mets could be interested in the 37-year-old. MLB.com's Mychael Urban agrees with Tim: Miguel Tejada fits in Oakland.
