MLB Rumors: 11/14

• The Tigers are shopping Curtis Granderson, with the Cubs, Angels, and Yankees considered possible destinations for the 28-year old outfielder. Granderson had a disappointing '09 season, putting up a .249/.327/.780 line. Even more concerning were his numbers against lefties (.183/.245/.484). Detroit has also made Edwin Jackson available for trade. The Brewers have already expressed interest.
  
• Both the Orioles and Giants have serious interest in the Marlins' Dan Uggla. However, both teams would want Uggla to play third base, and Uggla's agent made it known this week that Uggla wants to remain at second. The Red Sox have also expressed interest and might make a play for him in the event that they do not re-sign Jason Bay. Boston would want Uggla to play left field.
• It might be another quiet off-season for the Mets in terms of landing big names. They will most likely poke their heads in on John Lackey, but they are concerned about his injury history and therefore are reluctant to hand him a big contract (perhaps this is based on the contract New York gave to Oliver Perez last off-season). Matt Holliday will likely be too expensive for Omar Minaya and company, as well. Instead, the Mets might look to cheaper free agents such as Joel Pineiro, Randy Wolf, and Bengie Molina. They have also not ruled out the possibility of bringing Carlos Delgado back.
  
• Speaking of Lackey, Boston met with his agent and has serious interest in the 31-year old right-hander. The Yankees and Angels are also legitimate contenders for his services.
  
• Mike Cameron is drawing some interest from around the league, and many feel that, given his outstanding defensive ability, he will bring better bang for the buck than Bay. The Yankees could be a possible destination with their outfield situation in a bit of a flux.
• Washington has expressed interest in both Mark DeRosa and Mike Gonzalez. Being that the Nationals had the worst bullpen in baseball last season, Gonzalez would certainly be a welcome addition.
• The Brewers are looking for pitching. They are looking at Detroit's Jackson (as stated earlier) and Javier Vazquez and Derek Lowe of Atlanta.
• The Braves might be forced to trade one of Vazquez or Lowe for financial reasons. Milwaukee and the Dodgers have both inquired on Vazquez, and the Yankees could be a possibilty for Lowe should they fail to sign Lackey.
