This morning, Peter Gammons reported that Prince Fielder that some front office executives believe that Prince Fielder could sign a 3 year 78 million deal. Fielder's agent Scott Boras later said that idea was inaccurate and delusional. If I were Fielder, i would want to be locked up for a long-term deal for extra security. However, if he did sign a three year deal, he would hit free agency again at thirty. Prince Fielder's contract negotiations have been very "hush hush" so far, but even with the lack of interest teams have shown in Fielder, he should sing in the next couple of weeks - http://www.facebook.com/mlbreports/posts/280273362021089
Nationals signed INF-OF Mark DeRosa to a one-year contract. Terms aren't yet available. DeRosa, who turns 37 in February, has appeared in just 73 games over the past two seasons due to a left wrist injury, so he jumped at the chance for a guaranteed major-league deal. The Nationals are expected to use him in a utility role http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/mlb/347306/baseball-headlines?r=1
The New York Yankees have signed left-handed reliever Hideki Okajima to a minor league contract, general manager Brian Cashman told ESPNNewYork.com on Wednesday morning. The terms were not disclosed but Okajima will be in spring training as a non-roster invite. The 36-year-old Okajima, a member of the 2007 Boston Red Sox championship team who spent most of 2011 in Triple-A, is expected to compete with Cesar Cabral, acquired by the Yankees in this year's Rule 5 draft, for a spot as a second lefty out of the bullpen with Boone Logan.
Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post was told by a Rockies' source that there is "absolutely no truth" to the rumors that the club is in contract talks with Cody Ross. Buster Olney of ESPN.com reported earlier this week that the two sides were in talks, but the source told Saunders that while they like Ross, they have "no fit" in their outfield right now. Things could change if the Rockies deal Seth Smith and Ross is suddenly willing to accept a one-year deal, but with Carlos Gonzalez, Dexter Fowler and Michael Cuddyer projected to start in the club's outfield next season, he could probably find more playing time elsewhere http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/mlb/347308/baseball-headlines?r=1
Cuban lefthander Alexander Carreras, who turns 22 on Sunday, has signed with the Diamondbacks for $400,000. At his best, Carreras has shown a solid delivery and athleticism, touched 93 mph and mixed in a hard cutter/slider, which some scouts believe is his best pitch. His velocity has been inconsistent, though, and some scouts said they saw him sitting around 86-89 mph. The 6-foot lefty also mixes in a breaking ball and a changeup. Carreras had been training in the Dominican Republic with Edgar Mercedes over the last year and pitching in winter ball for Aguilas in the Dominican League, where in four starts he had a 4.20 ERA with 12 strikeouts and 10 walks in 15 innings
