Reds May Have Interest In Free Agent Ross
The Cincinnati Reds may have interest in free agent outfielder Cody Ross (hero of the 2010 World Series for the Giants.) Ross would most likely be targeted for left field. Ross has power, but also strikes out a ton, like the other two Reds outfielders Jay Bruce & Drew Stubbs.
Reds Seeking To Acquire Cubs Lefty Sean Marshall
In a move to bolster their bullpen, the Cincinnati Reds are reportedly interested in trading for Cubs left handed bullpen specialist Sean Marshall. In return the Reds would send lefty starter Travis Wood and two minor league players to the Cubs.

Chicago Bulls Interested In Richard Hamilton Of Pistons
The Chicago Bulls appear to be interested in signing Guard Richard Hamilton, who was waived by the Detroit Pistons.
Cubs Claim SS Jeff Bianchi From Royals
The Chicago Cubs have acquired SS prospect Jeff Bianchi from the Kansas City Royals. Bianchi was once a highly rated Royals prospect, who hit .400 twice in the low minors, though his career has been derailed of late by injuries. This could be a sleeper move for Jed Hoyer and Theo Epstein.
Cubs Acquire Ian Stewart & Casey Weathers From Rockies for Tyler Colvin
In a move that was slightly under the radar, the Chicago Cubs acquired two former #1 draft picks of the Colorado Rockies, third baseman Ian Stewart (2003 #1 pick) and RHP Casey Weathers (2007 #1 pick) for Cubs #1 pick of the 2006 draft OF Tyler Colvin & high regarded IF prospect DJ LaMahieu (a #2 pick by the Cubs in 2009.) Stewart struggled mightily in 2011, while Weathers is still coming back from Tommy John surgery and pitched in the Arizona Fall League of late. On the flip side, after a promising rookie year, Tyler Colvin had a rough 2011, and struggled to hit over .200. LaMahieu spent time with the Cubs in 2011, and looked good in brief duty. Ian Stewart was once considered a look to be the Rockies third baseman of the future, but has struggled. Weathers is a power reliever that has considerable upside.

New York Mets Wise To Pass On Jose Reyes
Back in 2003 I had the chance to see Jose Reyes at least 15 times, while he was with the AA Binghamton Mets. There was little doubt even then, that one day Reyes would be an electrifying major league player. Reyes' career with the New York Mets had many moments of brilliance. However, there were just as many moments where Reyes was unavailable to injury or pouting. Of course, Reyes had a career year in 2011 (his walk year), that resulted in Reyes winning a batting title (though he took himself out the lineup to assure the batting crown over Milwaukee's Ryan Braun.) Reyes was hurt again in 2011, and missed significant time. In truth the Mets should have dealt Reyes before he was hurt. The Mets are clearly in a rebuilding mode, whether they admit it or not. Passing on Reyes when he entered free agency was a sound baseball decision by Mets GM Sandy Alderson. Reyes will likely be hurt again in 2012, and most likely will never fulfill his new contract with the Marlins. The Mets can now get on with rebuilding (something they say you can't do in New York!) Get used to it New York, the Mets are rebuilding!

Congratulations To Cubs Ron Santo For Making The Baseball Hall Of Fame
Congratulations to late Chicago Cubs third basemen Ron Santo for finally making the MLB Hall Of Fame. It is a crime that he was not elected years ago. His numbers were better than Orioles Hall Of Famer Brooks Robinson in almost every area. While not quite the glove as Robinson, Santo won NL Gold Gloves several times. It's a black eye to baseball writers for not electing him to the hall while he was still here to enjoy it. Ron passed away in December of 2010. Santo's lifetime numbers were .277 BA 342 HR 1331 RBI 2254 H 5 Gold Gloves, 9 All Star appearances!
