According to Adam Rubin, in a report for the Daily News, the Mets off-season shopping list is as follows: Catcher to replace Brian Schneider. Power upgrade in left field. Second baseman if Luis Castillo can be traded. Rotation help. Eighth-inning reliever. Second lefthander in the bullpen to pair with Pedro Feliciano. Yes, I like the simple idea of getting 20 home runs [...]

The Padres maybe looking to move some players that might interest the Mets. San Diego currently has two third baseman who are both arbitration eligible, they could end up moving one of them to save some money. Either player could interest the Mets despite having a franchise player at third. Kevin Kouzmanoff is a gold glove caliber 3B who I believe with those defensive skills could transition to 1B...

The Cubs have traded RHP Aaron Heilman to the Arizona Diamondbacks for two minor leaguers, LHP Scott Maine and 1B Ryne White. No one on the Cubs or their fans is probably gonna miss Heilman so I won't waste much space on him, but it was a good way for the Cubs to get something for a guy that was probably a good bet to get non-tendered. White's a local boy that went to high school at St. Rita, not...

Infielder Mark DeRosa's glove could be good fit Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News is suggesting that the Yankees pursue DeRosa, the veteran utility man.

Nothing exemplifies the Hot Stove season quite like worrying about the Rule 5 draft. Most of the players don't stick it out all year; most of the ones that do are eventually traded for Ronnie Belliard or Blaine Boyer ; and most of the time it would be completely absurd to spend time thinking about this. Fangraphs won't return my calls, but according to my new WARP/seconds-in-your-limited-lifespan converter...
