Today's MLB tidbits

• The Nationals are actually looking to spend some money this off-season. They are mainly looking for a clean-up hitter, with names like Adam Dunn, Prince Fielder, Matt Holliday, and Mark Teixeira being thrown around. Teixeira, Fielder, and Holliday are all highly unlikely, as Teixeira would be looking for too much and Washington doesn't have enough ammo to offer Milwaukee or Colorado in a trade for either of its two power hitters, but Dunn might be a possibility.
• One NL executive said he wouldn't be surprised if the Yankees signed Manny Ramirez, Teixeira, CC Sabathia, and A.J. Burnett; neither would I. New York signed Sergio Mitre today, by the way.
• Boston wants Teixeira, and it looks like they may very well try to deal Mike Lowell to make room for him.
  
• Speaking of Sabathia, the Brewers have officially given him a multi-year offer believed to be in the $100 million range. They also exercised Mike Cameron's 2009 option.
  
• The Rockies aren't bringing back Brian Fuentes. The Mets, Angels, and Cardinals are all considered potential suitors for the closer.
• It appears that there are currently three teams involved in the Jake Peavy sweepstakes: the Braves, the Cubs, and the Dodgers.
