Free agent catcher A.J. Pierzynski and Florida have mutual interest, according to the Palm Beach Post. But the Post also stated the $6.75 million salary Pierzynski earned last year could raise caution among Marlins officials, who are contemplating the future of slugger Dan Uggla.
Well, if you give us Mike Stanton we’ll pick up A.J.’s salary. Hey, I think you were interested in Ozzie Guillen. We can throw him in too. How could you say no to that? (more…)
The White Sox expect to have a budget between $105-$110 million. General manager Ken Williams already has $80 million committed to 10 players. That list includes Bobby Jenks, John Danks and Carlos Quentin, who all will be eligible for arbitration.
BTW, the deadline for a club to offer arbitration is next Tuesday (November 23) and the deadline for a player to accept is one week after (November 30). Bruce Levine reminds us a club can re-sign a player it didn’t offer arbitration to.
