C.J. Wilson is expected to meet with Marlins officials in Miami soon after Thanksgiving. There are at least 13 teams interested in Wilson at this time and the bidding could easily rise above the Marlins' price range. But they have legitimate preliminary interest and will likely make an offer when the free agent left-hander visits, just as they did with free agent shortstop Jose Reyes and free agent first baseman Albert Pujols. Wilson, 30, posted a stellar 2.94 ERA and 206/74 K/BB ratio in 223 1/3 innings this past year for Texas. He's thought to be seeking a deal worth north of $100 million. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/mlb/345676/baseball-headlines?r=1
Marlins acquired LHP Wade LeBlanc from the Padres for C John Baker. LeBlanc, 27, posted a 4.63 ERA and 51/28 K/BB ratio in 79 2/3 innings over 14 starts this season. The Marlins wanted to add a left-handed starter this offseason, so even though he has been mediocre outside of PETCO during his career, he could be a fit at the back-end of the rotation in 2012. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/mlb/345703/baseball-headlines?r=1
Indians re-signed OF Grady Sizemore to a one-year, $5 million contract. As expected. Sizemore could earn an additional $4 million with incentives, which kicks in if he reaches 450 plate appearances. According to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com, the oft-injured 29-year-old could make a $500,000 bonus if he wins the Comeback Player of the Year Award. It's unlikely the Indians would be able to afford to re-sign him if he has a huge bounceback season in 2012, but they could dangle him in trade talks if they fall out of playoff contention. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/mlb/345723/baseball-headlines?r=1
The Minnesota Twins have signed former Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Ryan Doumit to a one-year, $3 million deal, the team announced on its website. The deal was announced after Doumit passed a physical, the team said. The 30-year-old Doumit hit .303 with eight homers and 30 RBIs in 77 games for the Pirates last season. He also can play first base and the outfield and should give the Twins some much-needed versatility and offensive pop. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7273392/2011-free-agents-ryan-doumit-signs-minnesota-twins-one-year-3-million
The Baltimore Orioles are close to signing Chong Tae-Hyon- Or as we would say in America Tae-Hyon Chong. He is Korean. I don’t think the Indians call their guy Choo Shin-Soo so I’m pretty sure Chong will be on the back of the jersey. The Orioles have not officially signed this guy yet, but that’s because of Thanksgiving. The physical is being delayed by Thanksgiving and the announcement of his signing should happen this weekend or Monday - http://baltimoresportsreport.com/the-fantasy-gods-mlb-hot-stove-report-1124-21468.html
