If the Yanks are out on Max Scherzer, I doubt he gets his asking price:

I like this quote from the article, "Long-term deals for pitchers over 30 generally don't work out," the source said. "The only one I can recall that did is Mike Mussina.''

Don't be so sure. BOS, SF & LA are out there, plus DET traded Porcello so they may end up re-signing him. Just him and Shields remain on the FA front, PHI will ask for a bounty for Hamels. I think BOS gets Scherzer, Shields to SF & LA trades for Hamels.

Giants acquire Casey McGhee through trade.

Giants resign Jake Peavy

Hopefully Peavy can hold together for a whole season. I didn't like the way he fell apart in the World Series

Giants acquire Casey McGhee through trade.

Yep, awful trade. And the guy was a dbag to boot. Kneed the team trainer in the balls.

Hard to argue against his results. Have not been a fan of his off season, though.

I hope this doesn't mean that Zobrist is coming to the Giants. I'm not a fan of that guy.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 4m4 minutes ago #Rays have had discussions with free agent Colby Rasmus, source says. They could add outfield bat, especially if they trade Zobrist.

It sounds like Detroit doesn't want Scherzer back, but I could be wrong.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 1h1 hour ago Of interest on Scherzer/Shields, Tigers official told me today: "We are happy with our starting pitching. We are not pursuing any starters."

The team is exploring trades for left-handers Cole Hamels and David Price and the possibility of signing free-agent right-hander Max Scherzer, according to major-league sources.
