Winter Meetings Catch-Up 12/07/09

Okay, with the assorted FanShots and main page posts, let's have one place to chat until some more news or rumors break at the Winter Meetings. I ask that you please continue to post links as FanPosts, just so people know where to look on the blog main page. I may repeat those stories on the front page, just to add more details and for distribution purposes.

If this has made things a bit confusing, I apologize. But I think it's the best way to facilitate discussion among regular commenters and anyone who may be clicking over here (for the first time or otherwise) to check on the latest developments.

Here's the day so far from Indianapolis:

Did we miss anything? Until anything new arises, this can be a place for general discussion. Thanks for your cooperation.

Transactions make me giddy.

I hope the Tigers do make some improvements and manage to ship off Jackson at a high price.

Tigers approached Colorado about Edwin

Source says the Diamondbacks are “fishing around” on Edwin Jackson

All this smoke, all day, and still no big fire. I’m waiting for this to finally just happen. I think the Tigers are just seeing who’ll pony up the most and then they’ll bite and send Edwin away.

Shame about the Rockies

I can think of several people on their roster that I definitely wouldn’t mind trading EJ for.

jcrasnick via espn on Lyon

Brandon Lyon’s agent, Barry Meister, spoke with Phils GM Ruben Amaro Monday. The two sides aren’t close to a deal. By the way, it appears that Lyon will decline Detroit’s offer of salary arbitration.

Obviously we all knew that was going to happen, but the thought that Lyon is talking with the Phils already and they’re not close makes me wonder just how much he’s asking for. He pitched phenomenally for us this year but I’m not sure how much he’s really worth as a late inning reliever…unless Det uses him as a closer, then he might be worth it.

As if this was new news, but it's good news IMO

per Buster Olny:

The Granderson talks are like the Halladay talks in July:The team is asking for the moon and stars, and if they get want they ask for, great…But asking for and getting what they want are two different things for the Tigers.

Just having that reassurance that they’re not dumping Grandy helps ease the nerves, and reassures the lack of a fire sale.

Extremely happy with Everett staying in town

This will help tamp all the ridiculously lopsided Granderson rumors flying around today. Now that rumormongers can’t just chip in SS Prospect X to the deal I’m hoping this’ll quiet down tomorrow.
