The Houston Astros got hard-throwing reliever Matt Lindstrom from Florida on Wednesday, hoping he can help fill a late-inning hole in their bullpen. Houston sent two low-level minor leaguers and a player to be named to the Marlins. Lindstrom features a fastball that can reach 100 mph, though he sometimes has trouble harnessing all that power. The 29-year-old righty went 2-1 with 15 saves in 17 chances and a 5.89 ERA in 54 games for Florida last season. He was hurt by four bruising appearances, in which he allowed 18 earned runs in only 2 1/3 innings.
According to a major league source familiar with the negotiations, three teams besides the Red Sox are involved in talks with the free agent left fielder. The Angels and Mariners emerged at the winter meetings as Bay suitors, and there were indications in the third and final full day yesterday that the Mets could be entering the fray as well. Before the meetings, the last Sox offer believed to be made to Bay was for four years, $60 million. -

I'm in love with the Jerry Morales story! The Jerry Morales story is Joel and I go to a game in 1980 and we agree our seats are so good that we can see everything except for a ball that's hit into the right field corner. Soon enough, a ball is hit into the right field corner, and the rightfielder — Jerry Morales — doesn't dig it out until about 1982. Forever more, the right field corner is known as Jerry Morales Territory. - faithandfear
