Starting Pitcher: Moyer, AJ, CC and Peavy
According to Jayson Stark, at ESPN.com, the Phillies and free-agent LHP Jamie Moyer are still having issues in working out a new contract, leaving the pitcher to contact other teams.
Meanwhile, in a recent on-air report for ESPN News, ESPN.com’s Peter Gammons said representatives for A.J. Burnett will meet with the Braves this week in Las Vegas, in hopes of quickly working on an agreement.
…the buzz from Vegas suggests burnett likes the idea of pitching in Atlanta, and could end up signing a four-year deal, despite rumors that he requires a fifth guaranteed season…that, plus no other teams appears willing to give it to him…
That said, according to FoxSports.com, Burnett reached out to Carl Pavano to get his take on playing for the Yankees.
Also, Gammons reports the Padres and Cubs continue to seek a third team to help facilitate sending Jake Peavy to Chicago.
By the way, ESPN 2 will feature a Baseball Tonight Hot Stove Special today at 5 pm EDT.
According to Buster Olney, per ESPN News, talks between Yankees GM Brian Cashman and CC Sabathia went ‘great.’
Lastly, unlike in years past, free-agent LHP Randy Wolf is open to signing with any team, not just teams on the West Coast, reports Ken Rosenthal at FoxSports.com.
