The Giants only had one hour to enjoy their victory with the ridiculous MLB rules on how free agency starts so I figured I'd get this out there just to get things going. Post whatever rumors you happen to hear or your opinions on any signings. Congrats to the Giants and their fans on the World Series win
NEW YORK -- Derek Jeter, Carl Crawford and Jayson Werth head a list of 142 players who have become free agents following the World Series.
Ace pitcher Cliff Lee also joins the group Monday night after he and the Texas Rangers lost to San Francisco in five games. First baseman Aubrey Huff is one of five players from the champion Giants on the list.
Paul Konerko, Mariano Rivera, Victor Martinez, Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez also are free agents.
Under an agreement between players and owners announced Sept. 30, players no longer need to file for free agency. Teams now have only a five-day exclusive negotiating period with their own free agents, down from 15 days.
Clubs and players also must decide on options in free agents' contracts this week.

[h5]Bengie Molina | Rangers [/h5]
Rangers catcher Bengie Molina will get a World Series ring, although it will come for his time earlier this season with the Giants rather than for his more recent tenure in Texas.
Molina has said previously that he planned to retire after the World Series, but it sounded like he was hedging on those plans Monday in a conversation with the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser.
Molina likely is waiting to see if there is a market for his services. Phil Rogers of the Chicago Tribune wrote Saturday that most baseball insiders do not believe Molina will follow through with his retirement plans, which opens the door for his return to Texas or a hit in free agency.
Mark Gonzales wrote last Wednesday that since the Rangers were interested last spring, http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=3948A.J. Pierzynski could be the answer. The veteran is a free agent this winter and the White Sox may be prepping to move on at the position.

http://[h3]Do Rangers have edge in Lee chase?[/h3]
10:16AM ET
[h5]Cliff Lee | Rangers [/h5]
The Rangers made a Texas-sized gamble in the July trade for Cliff Lee, and it paid off with the first World Series appearance in franchise history.
The upcoming weeks will determine whether Lee will end up as merely a one-hit wonder in Texas, as the No. 1 free agent ponders large offers from the Rangers, the New York Yankees and any other club looking to make a big splash.
Richard Durrett of ESPNDallas.com said he thinks the Rangers' lengthy playoff run may have given them an edge in the Lee sweepstakes, but that doesn't mean he will be willing to give any hometown discount.
"I want to be on a winning team," Lee told Durrett. "I want to be on a team, if not this team, like this team. The most fun I've had playing the game [was] with these guys. It's been a good ride."
The Rangers are now a winning franchise under Lee's criteria and the relative proximity to his Arkansas home is another factor in Texas' favor.
The price is likely to be at least five years and over $100 million dollars, but for a reliable left-hander that appears to be hitting his prime at 32 years old it may be a sound investment.
Our Buster Olney said Lee sounded like a pitcher who wouldn't mind staying in the Lone Star State:

http://[h3]Mariners talk to Leon Durham[/h3]
10:05AM ET
[h5]Seattle Mariners [/h5]
Former All-Star first baseman Leon Durham is a candidate to become the hitting coach of the Mariners, reports Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times.
Durham is largely remembered for his critical error at first base for the Cubs in Game Five of the 1984 NLCS. Durham has drawn more positive reviews for his work as the hitting coach for the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens under manager Larry Parrish, who was recently hired as Atlanta Braves hitting coach.
Baker says the Mariners also have spoken to former Philadelphia hitting coach Milt Thompson, who was fired in July.

http://[h3]Torrealba hits the market[/h3]
9:47AM ET
[h5]Yorvit Torrealba | Padres [/h5]
The San Diego Padres could be in the market for a catcher after Yorvit Torrealba informed the team Monday night that he planned to reject his part of a $3.5 million team option.
Torrealba, 32, hit .271 with seven homers and 37 RBI in 95 games with the Padres this season and was considered a key contributor to the club's surprising 90-win season. Torrealba's decision should mean more playing time for Nick Hundley, who shared the catching duties this season.
Torrealba may have to wait a while before signing since he joins a relatively crowded free agent catching class that includes Victor Martinez, John Buck and A.J. Pierzynski.

http://[h3]Yankees' pitching coach search[/h3]
9:33AM ET
[h5]New York Yankees [/h5]
The New York Yankees seem to be casting a wide net in their search for a pitching coach to replace the fired Dave Eiland.
Gil Patterson, who pitched for the Yankees in 1977 and coached in their system in 2005-06, will interview for the job, reports Mark Feinsand of the Daily News. The A's granted permission for the Yankees to speak with Patterson, who has been Oakland's roving pitching instructor since 2007
Feinsand says bullpen coach Mike Harkey and Triple-A pitching coach Scott Aldred are among the other candidates being considered.
Bill Madden wrote Saturday that the Yankees are eyeing Leo Mazzone, but also have former A's pitching coach Curt Young and Milwaukee Brewers pitching guru Rick Peterson on their radar, too.
Peterson is under contract with the Brewers, but when the club hires their new manager, things could open up for the former Mets and A's pitching coach.
According to various reports, the Yankees also have agreed to a three-year deal with hitting coach Kevin Long.

http://[h3]Ortiz decision expected Thursday[/h3]
9:20AM ET
[h5]David Ortiz | Red Sox [/h5]
David Ortiz is waiting for a decision from the Boston Red Sox, who must decide whether to pick up his $12.5 million option for next season or consider signing the veteran DH to an extension.
With the World Series ending Monday, the Red Sox officially have until Thursday to decide whether to pick up the option.General manager Theo Epstein has said it's team policy to take decisions all the way out to the deadline, so a decision will not come until Thursday.
It's not as if Ortiz is sitting on pins and needles. After all, he found time to watch LeBron James make his highly anticipated debut for the Miami Heat last week in Boston. Big Papi is not looking for LeBron dollars, but he wants more than just the one-year option.
"I'm not comfortable coming back just for one year because it's going to be the same roller-coaster that I had this year," Big Papi told Rob Bradford of WEEI.com.
The Red Sox might consider a multi-year deal at a reduced rate for the 34-year-old Ortiz, who bounced back from a slow start to hit 32 homers and drive in 102 runs this season.

http://[h3]Runzler could be a starter in 2011[/h3]
9:12AM ET
[h5]Dan Runzler | Giants [/h5]
Starting pitching is a precious commodity for most franchises, except in San Francisco, where the World Series champion Giants can boast of an embarrassment of riches.
With Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Jonathan Sanchez and Madison Bumgarner already set to return, the only question is with the fifth starter. The struggling Barry Zito has the job for now, but general manager Brian Sabean said left-handed reliever Dan Runzler might make the switch to the rotation next season.
Top prospect Zach Wheeler is still considered a ways off, so Sabean says Runzler could be sent to the fall league to begin the conversion to a rotation. Runzler was a situational reliever this season, striking out 37 in 32 2/3 innings.
Sabean says Zito also remains in the Giants' plans, so something has to give.

http://[h3]Sabean says Zito will stay[/h3]
8:25AM ET
[h5]Barry Zito | Giants [/h5]
Barry Zito essentially went along for the postseason ride. The left-hander was unable to land a postseason roster spot despite a $126 million contract, and he watched as the Giants won their first World Series since 1954.
Zito has fallen to fifth in the Giants' starting rotation, but GM Brian Sabean said he has no plans to trade the left-hander this winter. "We like Barry's contribution as far as the innings he pitches and the starts he makes," Sabean told the LA Times.
Zito has three years and $64.5 million left on his deal, so a trade would be difficult, if not impossible, unless the Giants are willing to eat a large portion of the contract. Zito started the season well, but he went 1-8 with a 6.14 ERA in his final 12 starts.

http://[h3]Lopes won't return in Philly[/h3]
8:07AM ET
[h5]Philadelphia Phillies [/h5]
Davey Lopes is looking for work after telling the Philadelphia Phillies that he won?t be return as first base coach next season.
Lopes, 65, was reportedly offered a one-year deal by the club, but the two sides couldn't find common ground on his salary. Matt Gelb of the Philly Inquirer writes that there were signs late in the season that Lopes wouldn't return.
Under Lopes' tutelage, the Phillies were one of the most prolific base-stealing teams in the league. Philly led the National League in stolen-base percentage for four straight seasons.
First base coaches often are the lowest-paid positions on the staff, but Lopes reportedly felt he was worth more because of his work with base stealers.

http://[h3]Iwakuma bidding to start soon[/h3]
7:52AM ET
[h5]Hisashi Iwakuma [/h5]
[img]http://a.espncdn.com/i/teamlogos/leagues/lrg/trans/mlb.gif[/img]
With Yu Darvish staying home for at least one more season, Hisashi Iwakuma is the top Japanese player likely to come to the United States this winter, and his bidding starts this week, tweets NPB Tracker's Patrick Newman.
Iwakuma, 29, is a right-hander that has finished among the top ERA contenders in Japan four straight seasons. He's not a big strikeout artist, but Newman reports Iwakuma's Japanese club, the Rakuten Golden Eagles, are hoping for $16-17 million.
Considering the economic state of Major League Baseball, there is a chance that number is pushing it and ultimately proves to be far more than any clubs willing to spend simply for the rights to sign him to a contract.
It's difficult to believe that the Golden Eagles would accept much less than $10 million or so, however, which means there is a chance Iwakuma stays in Japan another year.
Larry Stone of the Seattle Times wonders if the Mariners will make a play for Iwakuma because of the Japanese ties in team ownership.
While there has been persistent speculation in the Japanese media that the M's will be a player for Iwakuma, who could fill Seattle's need for a No. 2 pitcher behind Felix Hernandez, Stone says the Mariners don't appear to have much money to spend this winter.

http://[h3]Selig didn't force Guillen roster issue[/h3]
7:16AM ET
[h5]Jose Guillen | Giants [/h5]
Bud Selig has a sticky situation on his hands after http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=3592Jose Guillen was linked to a federal investigation into shipments of performance-enhancing drugs, but that doesn't mean the commissioner forced the Giants to leave the outfielder off their postseason roster.
The New York Times reported on its website Thursday night that federal authorities told MLB they were looking into shipments of human growth hormone allegedly sent to Guillen's wife in the Bay Area.
Guillen did not play after October 3 with what was said to be a neck injury. Players Association executive director Michael Wiener disputed a report in Saturday's Times claiming that Selig instructed his deputies to tell the Giants to take Guillen off the roster.
.
Guillen hit .258 with 19 homers, is in the final year of a three-year, $36 million contract. At the very least, the ongoing probe makes it unlikely Guillen will be retained by the Giants next season.

http://[h3]Alderson steps up managerial search[/h3]
6:59AM ET
[h5]New York Mets [/h5]
When Sandy Alderson was officially named general manager of the New York Mets on Friday, he said his plan was to have a manager in place in 30 days.
That search is expected to accelerate this week with a series of interviews, reports Andy Martino of the Daily News, although none were scheduled as of Monday night.
Wally Backman, who managed for the Mets? Triple-A affiliate in Brooklyn, is expected to get an interview, as will third base coach Chip Hale. At this stage, the field appears wide open. Other internal candidates could include Ken Oberkfell, Bob Melvin and Terry Collins. The Mets also have discussed Clint Hurdle, Lee Mazzilli and Pete Mackanin.
Former Blue Jays coach John Gibbons, however, is not expected to be a candidate.
The Mets also are looking make some high-level additions to the front office. Various reports say Alderson already has reached out to Paul DePodesta, whom he hired in San Diego, to help strengthen the Mets' statistical department and J.P. Ricciardi, whom he worked with in Oakland, to assist on player personnel. Oakland head of scouting Grady Fuson also could be on the radar.
