2012-2013 Off-season thread.

The Dodgers are not expected pursue closer Brian Wilson, reports Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times

That leaves us? I think those were the only 2 teams interested

Edit: Angels and they signed Madson and they have Downs and Frieri. SO my guess is they will be out too. So BC please sign Wilson 1 year deal ray:

[EEasyA]

Just Give him the three year deal LL.On year 3 he can move to DH.We know you guys are trying to show financial restraint and discipline,but sometimes time its okay to break the rules.A one year difference is not going to kill anybody.

JIM BOWDEN‏@JimBowdenESPNxm

Based on our interview with Larry Lucchino it's obvious the Red Sox are "in" on Josh Hamilton, Mike Napoli and starting pitchers...#sxm but not looking for long term free agency type signings they're not going 6,7,or 8 yrs

I can't wait for Tomorrow to come.This Offseason for us is boring.Where are the leaks.Lol

Cafardo's main source disappeared the day Valentine was fired.

JIM BOWDEN ‏@JimBowdenESPNxm
Larry Luchino confirmed with us that they hope Mike Napoli signs with them but needs it to be at 3yr deal not 4 yr deal

Good. If all things are even are the Rangers the favorites?

[GrkGawdofWalkz]

Napoli only really returns to the Rangers under the right circumstances I guess. Not really sure who is and is not in on Hamilton. I am not a huge fan of him but he's a great player.

By main source,do you mean rob bradford.lol

[Celtic AL]

so? he's still a fool.

[GrkGawdofWalkz]

Bowden and Heyman are both in the same cloth. I trust Speier and Olney in most cases. Cafardo and others are almost in the Bowden camp.

[AI4]

Cafardo previous to this year was trash, Valentine fed him all his stories.

Bowden has always been trash and is speculative 99% of the time.

Heyman only knows about Boras clients.

I trust Morosi, Rosenthal, Speier, Bradford, etc.

[-Lavigne43-]

I wish Bowden was a GM again, of one of our rivals. Even on Boras clients Heyman will spread false rumors that Boras gives him. He will always be the first to report a Boras player signing though.
