White Sox after Juan Pierre?

With the Dodgers recently acquiring center fielder Andruw Jones, the White Sox could be in a position to talk to LA about outfielder Juan Pierre, a player Sox manager Ozzie Guillen likes.

Pierre would give them speed in the outfield as well as speed at the top of their order as the leadoff hitter, not to mention he's already used to the city of Chicago after being a member of the Cubs before signing with the Dodgers.

Dodgers could acquire Erik Bedard

Though the Winter Meetins wrapped up today, there are still plenty of rumors floating around. One of them is the possibility of the Dodgers making a deal with Baltimore for left-hander Erik Bedard.

According to ESPN's Jayson Stark, after the Dodgers signed Andruw Jones yesterday, they could flip outfielder Matt Kemp, top pitching prospect Clayton Kershaw and outfielder Andre Ethier to the Orioles. The only trouble LA might run into is Orioles' owner Peter Angelos, who is not the easiest guy to make deals with.

Have talks between the Dodgers and the agent for Andruw Jones been revived? According to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, the Dodgers met with Jones' agent, Scott Boras, at the Winter Meetings today, but nothing is close.

Dodgers' GM Ned Colletti is willing to offer a short-term contract to Jones, but Boras is looking for the same type of contract that the Dodgers offered J.D. Drew a few years ago.

Also, the Dodgers were said to be in the running for Marlins' 3rd baseman Miguel Cabrera, but did not want to give up three top players (rumored to be Clayton Kershaw, Matt Kemp, Jonathan Broxton and Andy LaRoche).

Royals sign Jose Guillen

I guess we have the answer. The Royals and free agent Jose Guillen have a prelimary agreement in place on a 3-year $36M deal.

12.3.07 10:16pm PST
Can we please get the straight story on this one? The Kansas City Star is reporting that the talks between the Royals and Jose Guillen have stalled, prompting the Royals to take a harder look at Andruw Jones.

While I commend the Royals for finally trying to put a contender on the field, I don't know how they're going to meet the 5-year $90M that Jones' agent Scott Boras is asking.

12.3.07 9:47pm PST
Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Royals and Guillen are closing in on a deal, supposedly a 3-year $11M - $12M deal.

Strange, just over 2 hours ago, it seemed like the Royals had broken off talks and were looking at other options.

12.3.07 7:30pm PST
According to Dick Kaegel of MLB.com, the Royals have apparently cooled on the idea of signing Jose Guillen. Royals' GM Dayton Moore says he's "intrigued by other possibilities", meaning the Royals may not sign Guillen after all.

12.3.07 7:37am PST
The Kansas City Royals don't see another outfield option better than Jose Guillen, unless the price for Andruw Jones drops dramatically.

According to the Kansas City Star, the Royals plan to go hard after Guillen, and the free agent told the media in the Dominican Republic that he could reach a deal soon, which could mean before the Winter Meetings conclude on Thursday.
