The MLB hot stove season is going strong, and speculation is heating up across baseball. Here is what our writers are hearing today:
The #Orioles have been reaching out to other relievers -- a sign they might not be optimistic about Darren O'Day.
Crasnick's take: Just as the David Price signing with Boston figured to help ease the logjam for free agent starting pitchers, Darren O'Day could help set things in motion for the rest of the relief market once he settles on a team. Washington, the Los Angeles Dodgers and (surprisingly) Atlanta are making serious pushes for O'Day, whose signing will pave the way for Ryan Madson, Joakim Soria, Tyler Clippard, Shawn Kelley and other righty relievers in search of new clubs.
