Odds & Ends: Pirates, Mets, White Sox

Lots of teams are packing their bags today. But every trip has a destination... Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette chats with readers. Among other moves, he expects the Pirates to shop Matt Capps. The incomparable Marty Noble quotes a Mets official as saying, "There's more of an understanding now that we need to fix things on more than the Major League level." Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune thinks Carlos Quentin could help himself from "a slight weight loss." Nick Piecoro believes the Diamondbacks have no choice but to pick up Brandon Webb's $6.5MM option for 2010, though Cot's Contracts lists Webb's option at $8.5MM.
