Earlier tonight, Ken Rosenthal, among others, reported that the Royals were on the verge of agreeing to a three-year deal with free agent OF Jose Guillen.
However, according to the Kansas City Star, negotiations between Kansas City and Guillen have stalled, and the Royals have begun showing interest in fellow free agent OF Andruw Jones.
Guillen is seeking a four-year deal, writes the Star, while the Royals don’t want to go past a two-year commitment, noting that they’re willing to increase the dollar amount per year in order to reach a compromise.
…as presently constituted, the Mets must be looking for a right-handed compliment to Ryan Church…but if he gets dealt, like cerrone has heard speculated, guillen could be a decent pickup for right field…a three-year deal may be a little much, though, if the Mets somehow manage to hang on to Carlos Gomez and Fernando Martinez, whom they obviously consider their future corner outfielders…
…Update…1:26 am…
ESPN.com is reporting that Guillen and the Royals have reached a preliminary agreement, shaking hands on the three year, $36 million deal originally reported.

Is there any possibility of keeping both Gomez and F-Mart, and still make a trade for pitching?
Forget Guillen. Nady would be such a good pickup if we could get him cheap. Between playing right, left and first he would get plenty of playing time.
The mets are not overloaded with outfielders. The three starters and Endy. If Gomez is playing in our outfield before the rosters expand in september, something has gone seriously wrong. Nady would be a great compliment to Church and can sub for Delgado to keep him rested, and we won’t be completely vulnerable to left-handed pitching again when Alou is on the DL for his usual 50-70 games this year.
Dealing with the Pirates for Nady/Snell, if he really is available, would be about as good as we can do. Our “prospects” just aren’t generating any interest, and there’s too many teams that can outbid us with talent for big pitchers.
Why would the Mets go after another guy implicated in the steroid probe?
I’m glad he signed with the Royals. I agree, lets go after the X man, he produced two years ago and who knows maybe he can really help this year.
