Holliday talking to multiple teams; Olivo to COL?

• According to Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated, Matt Holliday rejected a proposal from the Cardinals that was believed to be six years and over $100 million sometime during the past couple of weeks. Heyman also states that Holliday is in conversations with "multiple teams." Who could these mystery teams be? Being that the Mets just signed Jason Bay, you can count them out. The Yankees have been adamant in saying that they are not pursuing the 29-year old outfielder, although the Yanks have been known to throw up smokescreens. The Giants are another possibility, although whether or not they want to offer up a big contract is in question. Maybe the Red Sox or the Angels have jumped in? Despite everything, St. Louis is optimistic that it will re-sign Holliday. We'll soon find out.
• Miguel Olivo is very close to signing with the Rockies, which squelches any chance of Yorvit Torrealba returning to Colorado in 2010. The deal for Olivo would be for one year with a club option.
  
• Seattle is still in the market for a power hitter, presumably a first baseman. Adam LaRoche is a possibility, as is Mike Jacobs, who was recently non-tendered by Kansas City.
  
• The Diamondbacks have signed Braves' castoff Kelly Johnson to a one-year, $2.35 million deal. Johnson, who was non-tendered by Atlanta, is a natural second baseman, but can also play left field. Injuries derailed the 28-year old in 2009, as he lost his starting job to Martin Prado and posted a paltry .224/.303/.692 line as he dealt with wrist tendinits. Johnson has been a productive hitter in the past, however, particularly in 2007 when he put up a .276/.375/.832 line.
• Reds' assistant GM Bob Miller says that Jonny Gomes, whom Cincinnati non-tendered, will explore the free agent market. Gomes had a solid season at the plate in '09, compiling a line of .267/.338/.879, but his defense leaves much to be desired, as the 29-year old outfielder posted a -10.2 UZR.
• Oakland has re-signed Justin Duchscherer to a one-year deal worth a base salary of $2 million (there is also $3.5 million in incentives for games started and innings pitched). The 32-year old right-hander missed the entire 2009 season due to elbow surgery and depression, but he was fantastic in 2008, posting a 2.54 ERA and .210 BAA over 141.2 innings.
• One day after the Giants hauled in Mark DeRosa, they re-signed Juan Uribe. The versatile Uribe, 30, will likely serve as a super-utility man for San Francisco. In '09, he played second base, shortstop, and third base.
• The Dodgers are going after Joel Pineiro, as are the Angels and Mets. Los Angeles could certainly use another starting pitcher, as their rotation after Clayton Kershaw and Chad Billingsley is full of question marks.
• The Marlins and Athletics are both in the thick of the Aroldis Chapman sweepstakes. Florida made Chapman an offer a couple of weeks ago. The Red Sox also tendered the 20-year old Cuban phenom an offer.
• Boston remains very interested in Adrian Beltre. Oakland is another potential suitor for the slick-fielding third baseman.
