Davidoff's Latest: Sabathia, El Duque, Heilman
MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com —
... A few notes from Newsday's Ken Davidoff, who has blog posts here and here.
C.C. Sabathia's agents met with the Yankees yesterday, among other teams. As you know, teams can only talk contract with their own free agents currently. Sabathia is certainly open to playing for the Yankees.

El Duque wants to close....

From Ken Davidoff: Meanwhile, Genske said that another client of his, Orlando Hernandez, wants to keep pitching, after missing the entire season with the Mets. El Duque underwent surgery on his right foot in September and is ...

When Omar Minaya was talking about finding a “closer from within”, did he think the Mets still had Orlando Hernandez under contract?
From El Duque’s agent Greg Genske, as reported in Ken Davidoff’s excellent Baseball Insider:
Meanwhile, Genske said that another client of his, Orlando Hernandez, wants to keep pitching, after missing the entire season with the Mets. El Duque underwent surgery on his right foot in September and is rehabilitating.
