@JimBowden_ESPN: Braves are close to signing Alberto Callaspo

TUESDAY, 1:44am: Lester’s limbo could continue until Wednesday, WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford tweets. Team owners are now involved in the process and are slowing it down. 1:21am: Lester has six- and seven-year offers in hand, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweets. It’s possible, however, that Lester won’t take the biggest-money offer. Heyman tweets that Lester’s deal is expected to wind up being somewhere from $150MM to $175MM. Come on. End this Lester crap.

It looks like Saxon was wrong and Thompson isn't in the trade.

@markasaxon: One of the prospects A's got for Jeff Samardzija is Trayce Thompson, younger brother of Klay Thompson, son of ESPNLA's own Mychal Thompson

@JonHeymanCBS: hear lester has 6-year and 7-year offers. wont necessarily take the biggest $ offer tho.

@BNightengale: The Chicago #Whitesox have just signed closer David Robertson to a 4 year deal in excess of $40 million. 11:59pm: Robertson’s deal is worth $46MM over four years, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (via Twitter).

That sounds good to me.

@Ken_Rosenthal: If #Cubs get Lester, industry source says next move would be to pursue big bat and try to accelerate revival. A bat in addition to Montero.

@BNightengale: The #Braves now are packaging OF Justin Upton and 3B Kelly Johnson in trade talks with teams.

The Red Sox have made an offer to Justin Masterson, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (on Twitter). The pitcher is also talking with the Rangers, Marlins, White Sox, Royals, Giants, Twins, and others. Earlier today we learned that the Rangers have made an offer to Masterson, their first concrete bid for a free agent starter this winter. I hope the Rangers sign him.

@JonHeymanCBS: jeff samarzija is on the verge of being traded. the white sox are the likely landing spot. http://t.co/roBpJjMEVv

@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: #DBacks would need to be "overwhelmed" to move Trumbo. #Mariners among teams monitoring. @JeffPassan reported Trumbo in play.

Cubs, D’Backs Discussing Miguel Montero By Zach Links [December 8, 2014 at 8:46pm CST] 8:46pm: The return for Montero wouldn’t be big, reports Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports (twotweets). The DBacks would receive low level prospects with the Cubs assuming most or all of Montero’s $40MM contract. Rosenthal hears Arizona would receive pitching prospects (via Twitter). 8:28pm: The Cubs and Diamondbacks are discussing a trade that would send Miguel Montero to Chicago, sources tell Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (onTwitter). The two teams are expected to talk again tonight, Rosenthal tweets. The Cubs and Diamondbacks have been engaged for weeks and a deal appears to be getting closer. There is no word yet as to what the Cubs have on offer.

Nope. Those were his numbers in 2012. His numbers (other than win/loss record) weren't that good in 2013 either. He had cancer in 2006.

Lol. Wilson isn't going anywhere.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: Barring late change, Lester choosing between #Cubs, #SFGiants.

Jon Lester‘s decision about a new team could swing the balance of the entire offseason, so let’s get to the latest updates on the free agent southpaw… Lester’s camp is waiting to see if a club will up its offer to the $150MM level and/or include a seventh year, whether guaranteed or through a vesting option, per a report from Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com. The bidding is believed to be sitting around $140MM over six years at present, McAdam adds.

Im sure it will be either the Cubs or Red Sox.

The Angels just claimed a Astros 1B/OF reject. He's put up Mathis type numbers. More minor league roster filler.

Jon Lester Rumors: Sunday By Charlie Wilmoth [December 7, 2014 at 5:37pm CST] Here’s the latest on free agent ace Jon Lester. It looks like at least two teams have bid more than $130MM for Lester, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports writes. The Cubs, Red Sox, Giants and Dodgers are all contenders for Lester, but the Cubs are reportedly trying to separate themselves, with an offer that could top $140MM. Lester appears likely to pick a new team by the end of this week’s Winter Meetings.

The Angels don't plan on eating any of his contract. Good luck trading him without eating any of his contract.

Wrong chin. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/chenwe02.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.mlbtraderumors.com

@MikeDiGiovanna: #Angels (cont): There was heavy interest in Kendrick early, but trade for RHP Nick Tropeano has lessened need/desire to trade the 2B.

He can't even play 2B.
