Cardinals Notes: Holliday, DeRosa, Smoltz
MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com —
... Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch has the latest on the Cardinals...
Goold feels that the Cardinals "will keep tabs on the Jason Bay sweepstakes even while focusing on Matt Holliday." Like most Scott Boras clients, Holliday figures to reach the open market. The Cards have yet to make a formal extension offer; Holliday was one of 79 free agents to file yesterday. In another article, Goold had a nice look at eight potential Holliday suitors.
Goold says Mark DeRosa "expressed a ...
Building A Cubs Champion: 2010 Edition
Bleed Cubbie Blue —
... Note that I haven't gone all DeRomantic here and proposed bringing back Mark DeRosa, although I think he'd still be a solid addition, even at age 35, for the right price, and a note in this St. Louis Post-Dispatch article indicates the Cubs may indeed make DeRo an offer. I also haven't retained Mike Fontenot, who could probably be traded -- I mentioned above non-tendering Heilman, but it may be possible that both Fontenot and Heilman could be dealt, even for low-level prospects. In fact, my 2010 team as proposed above has only two players (Rowand and Garland) who ...
Buzz: Holliday is a High Priority for Cardinals
MetsBlog.com —
In a report in today’s St. Louis Post Dispatch, Derrick Goold says that re-signing Matt Holliday remains a “high priority” for the Cardinals, but indicates that no offer has been extended as of yet.
…i think that bringing in Mark McGwire as the team’s hitting coach is a huge effort on the Cardinals part to retain Holliday considering the two are close, but given the caliber of player that Holliday is, it should be a top priority to retain him in any way possible, but ...
Derrick Goold Expect Cubs To Offer God A Contract
Another Cubs Blog —
Derrick Goold expects the Cubs will offer Mark DeRosa a free agent contract.
DeRosa, coming off wrist surgery, figures to field an offer from the Chicago Cubs, at the least. He and Chone Figgins are two of the best utility players in the game, and both are free agents.
This isn’t exactly predicting something wild. After all, it would be the single most shocking event in Cubs history if they did not offer Mark DeRosa a contract. Whether or not ...

... First Cardinals beat writer Derrick Goold had some updates on the Cardinals, buried in there is the fact that he thinks the Cubs will offer Mark DeRosa a deal in free agency. I would have to say no to this personally, DeRosa would have been a solid player to have this season, but he will be 35 and coming off wrist surgery. We already have Jeff Baker who showed he was able to handle third along with second and first. Second basemen are a dime a dozen and there is no need to go out and spend precious money on an older player like DeRosa. ...

... her this would never happened, but when I found out that her favorite show of all-time was returning to Broadway, I could not pass up the opportunity for scoring some major points with her. While all of you are watching football this evening, I will be watching the Jets and the Sharks go at it. Yep, West Side Story.
Jose Canseco wants to be the piss out of A-Rod. Forget that for one moment, what is up with the full body tattoo?
Matt Holliday is expected to hit the market. Jason Bay is already a free-agent. If the Mets don’t get ...
Cubs to Make an Offer to Mark DeRosa?
Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary —
The Chicago Cubs will be looking for a few pieces this offseason, but a utility player is not expected to be one of them. So what is this quote all about?
DeRosa, coming off wrist surgery, figures to field an offer from the Chicago Cubs, at the least. STLtoday.com.
With Jeff Baker, Jake Fox, and (dear God) Aaron Miles in the fold for next year, it’s hard to imagine the Cubs going after DeRosa in a utility role. It is fathomable that they could approach him with a more regular second base role in mind - fathomable, but not ...
Cubs Rumor Round-up: DeRosa, Harden and Johnson
The Cub Reporter (TCR) | A Chicago Cubs Blog —
- Buried in this Stltoday.com artcile is this nugget:
DeRosa, coming off wrist surgery, figures to field an offer from the Chicago Cubs, at the least.
Seems like idle speculation than anything legit, but at least the Wrigley-ites would be cheering for the right team if it did happen. (Hat tip to Bleacher Nation for the find)
- Paul Sullivan says the Cubs are ready to let Rich Harden and Reed Johnson test free agency.
But Harden's ...
