Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

MLB Rumors: XM Radio Sunday Edition - Derek Lowe Or Oliver Perez?

Caught some of Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton's show this afternoon. Here are some of the stories/rumors that he tossed out to the listeners:

  • Atlanta is considering offering Derek Lowe 4 yrs $65 million. Do the Mets counter?
  • Mets held a 3 hr meeting with Oliver Perez to decide whether they make him an offer, or increase their offer to Derek Lowe. I think they go with Perez.
  • The Yankees may look to Oliver Perez if they don't sign Andy Pettite. Pettite recently countered the Yankees 1 yr $10 million offer, which the Yankees rejected.
  • Seattle is considering making Tyler Walker their closer
  • The Dodgers are considering, or have made, a 2 yr $25 million offer to Adam Dunn
  • Cincinnatti is interested in Bobby Abreu, as long as he lowers his contract demands
  • Cincinnatti is still discussing a trade with the Yankees for either Xavier Nady or Nick Swisher. But the Yankees asking price is pitching prospect Homer Bailey.
  • The Atlanta Braves are going after closer Brandon Lyon? what about Mike Gonzalez? who closes if they sign Lyon?
  • Boston is discussing a deal including pitching prospects Michael Bowden and Daniel Bard for Texas catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia
  • Ryan Howard is asking for $20mm in arbitration-wow! Do they end up trading him this year??
  • Are the Dodgers serious about a starting rotation that includes Claudio Vargas and Shawn Estes? Maybe due to Chad Billingsley's slow recovery from the broken leg? We should soon find out.
  • The LA Daily News' Tony Jackson says the Dodgers are looking at signing either Randy Wolf, Jon Garland or Braden Looper.

 

Poll
Which free agent starting pitcher should the Mets sign?
Derek Lowe, he may not be an ace, but he will give the Mets 30+ starts and 200+ innings.
49 votes
Oliver Perez, he is younger, more dominating, and will pitch great in Soon to Be Bankrupt Field.
