Clemens is 50/50 on playing in 2007

Mets sign Scott Schoeneweis
The New York Mets have signed 33-year old reliever Scott Schoeneweis to a three-year deal worth $10.8 million. Schoeneweis posted a 4.88 ERA in 51.2 innings of relief last season. He was also traded last season, going from the Toronto Blue Jays to the Cincinnati Reds. In 14.1 innings with Cincinnati, Schoeneweis had a 0.63 ERA compared to a 6.51 mark in Toronto.

50/50 that Roger Clemens returns next season
According to many sources, there is a 50/50 chance that 45-year old Roger Clemens will return for his 24th season in the Major Leagues next year. The New York Yankees and Houston Astros are the frontrunners to acquire him, but Clemens most likely will not sign until after the season has begun (think May or possibly June). The Boston Red Sox have seemed to lose interest in "The Rocket."

Diamondbacks, Pirates talked trade
The Arizona Diamondbacks and Pittsburgh Pirates reportedly discussed a trade that would have sent third baseman Chad Tracy to Pittsburgh for 28-year old reliever Mike Gonzalez. If the deal occurred, the Diamondbacks would have then went out and traded for Morgan Ensberg of the Houston Astros to fill the void at third base. However, talks did not go very far.

Tomo Ohka has two offers
30-year old right-hander Tomo Ohka reportedly has two offers on the table, most likely from the Washington Nationals and New York Mets. The Pittsburgh Pirates may also jump in.
