Angels, Other Teams Have Made Offer To Luis Ayala
The Angels are one of a "handful of teams" that have formally tendered a contract offer to Luis Ayala, reports MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez. It's unclear if it's a minor league contract offer, and the right-handed reliever is still weighing his options and no decision is imminent.

Rumor: Luis Ayala choosing between the Angels and Orioles
The Yankees have seven starters to fill five spots and with no room in the rotation for the five near major league ready starters down in Triple-A they will have no shortage of bullpen options. That means the Yankees lone un-signed free agent, Luis Ayala almost definitely will not be coming back next year.
While he is looking for a job, he seems to have narrowed his options down...

Rumor: Yankees maintain interest in Luis Ayala
Luis Ayala was a bit of a surprise for the Yankees last season as they signed him for insurance and he ended up being a big contributor. Since then he has drawn a decent amount of interest as a free agent, but apparently not enough that it is the middle of January and he still hasn’t found a team.
The Yankees have maintained interested in re-signing him though and still...

Rumor: Yankees in talks with RHP Manny Corpas
The Yankees have been in talks with former Colorado Rockie right handed reliever Manuel Corpas who missed all of last season with Tommy John Surgery, according to George King of the NY Post.
In five seasons Corpas, 29, had a 3.93 ERA, a 6.5 K/9, and a 2.5 BB/9 in 286 innings. If the Yankees signed him it would be a typical sign a lot of relievers and hope one of them makes it type...

Shutdowns, Meltdowns and Free Agent Relievers
It's no secret that the Tigers are looking for a veteran reliever to pitch the seventh inning setting up Joaquin Benoit and Jose Valverde. They have been linked to Octavio Dotel and Luis Ayala over the last few days. The list of free agent relievers is long though, so we can probably expect more names to show up in coming days.

Pursue the Next Ayala, Not Luis Himself
Jim Bowden tweeted over the weekend that six teams were pursuing reliever Luis Ayala. The list of suitors included progressive teams like the Red Sox, Yankees, Rays and Blue Jays. Since these teams typically spend money wisely, their interest in a retread reliever like Ayala is pretty puzzling.
Yes, Ayala had a decent 2011 season with the Yankees, but he isn’t the type of player...

Wouldn’t it be interesting if the Mets, in an effort to address their bullpen issues, choose to do so by targeting two of their least popular former relievers. Disappointing might be a better word than interesting, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a possibility.
