Rumor roundup: White Sox eye OF market
Chicago could dip into free agency for Upton or Gordon

The holiday shopping season may be over, but Major League Baseball clubs are
still working on their offseason wish lists.
Here's a look at some of the latest Hot Stove rumblings floating around the
big leagues:
White Sox linked to top outfielders
The White Sox appear to be a possible landing spot for Justin Upton and the
club has also been linked to Alex Gordon, according to a report in the Boston
Globe.
Though the same report said Gordon would prefer to return to the Royals,
Kansas City was reportedly told this week it had "no chance" to sign the
outfielder.
Upton and Gordon each rejected a $15.8 million qualifying offer this
offseason, so the White Sox would have to forfeit a first-round pick in the
2016 Draft if they sign either player.
‧ 2016 Draft order
The White Sox have already been active this winter, dealing for third baseman
Todd Frazier and infielder Brett Lawrie to boost their offense.
Tigers waiting on Cespedes
Yoenis Cespedes is one of the few top-tier free agents left on the market,
and the Tigers appear to be waiting for the outfielder to lower his price
tag, according to USA Today.
Cespedes is said to be seeking a contract of at least six years and near the
$150 million mark.
The Tigers have already made a splash in free agency, inking starting pitcher
Jordan Zimmermann to a five-year contract worth roughly $110 million.
The Tigers are familiar with Cespedes, having acquired him in a trade with
the Red Sox last offseason. Cespedes hit .293 in 102 games with Detroit
before being dealt to the Mets at the Trade Deadline this year.
Cardinals, Rockies talking trade?
The Cardinals are said to have interest in trading for a Rockies outfielder,
and a report in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch speculates that the Cards would
be more likely to deal for Corey Dickerson or Charlie Blackmon than slugger
Carlos Gonzalez.
Any potential deal between the two clubs is thought to come down to Matt
Adams, and it's not clear if the Cardinals are ready to trade away the first
baseman.
The Rockies have been fielding calls on their outfielders all offseason and
are expected to seek starting pitching in return.
Dodgers favorites for Maeda?
In need of rotation help, the Dodgers are said to be the front-runners to
sign right-hander Kenta Maeda of Japan's Hiroshima Carp, according to the
Boston Globe.
The Dodgers met with Maeda on Thursday, according to several Japanese media
outlets. However, the club is thought to prefer a trade for Marlins ace Jose
Fernandez or Rays right-hander Jake Odorizzi. The Dodgers have also been
linked to free-agent left-hander Scott Kazmir.
Maeda's 30-day posting period concludes Jan. 8, and he has been in the U.S.
for two weeks meeting with clubs. To get Maeda, who turns 28 in April, a club
should expect to pay his Japanese team a $20 million release fee, plus a
five-year contract for roughly $80 million.
Marlins could deal lefty reliever
It appears the Marlins will trade reliever Mike Dunn this winter, as the club
has received some interest in the left-hander, according to the Boston Globe.
But it's not clear which teams have contacted Miami, and no deal appears
imminent.
Dunn has made at least 72 appearances in three straight seasons and in four
of the last five.

備註:官網的消息給各位大大參考,有問題不吝指教喔!
1. 白襪把目標鎖定在頂尖的外野手,如Justin Upton,而Alex Gordon也有被提及,但這
兩位都有拒絕QO,簽下他們都要丟2016年的選秀順位。雖然據傳Gordon比較想回到皇家,
但據傳皇家在下周不可能簽下外野手。
2. 老虎對Yoenis Cespedes比較熟悉也有興趣,不過在等Yoenis Cespedes降價,他要求價
碼是150MM/6YR。
3. 紅雀跟洛磯兩隊談交易? 據報導紅雀對洛磯的外野手有興趣,而對Corey Dickerson或
是Charlie Blackmon興趣高於強打者Carlos Gonzalez,紅雀方面出的包裹可能如一壘手
Matt Adams,落磯方面則是在等這幾位外野手的交易報價,並希望能換回一些來做為的先
發陣容。
4. 道奇對前田健太有興趣? 道奇在前田健太的競逐者中為領先地位,並且週四已經跟他
會面過了,要簽下前田健太的球團,除了要給廣島20MM之外,還要給一紙約80MM/5YR的合
約。然而,球團比較偏好的是馬林魚的Ace Jose Fernandez或是光芒的Jake Odorizzi,甚
或是Scott Kazmir也有被討論過。
5. 馬林魚會交易左手牛? 被提及的有Mike Dunn,不過目前這部分還不明朗,不確定其他
隊有沒有對馬林魚提出報價或是連絡過,Mike Dunn有連三季(2013-15年)72場以上的出賽
之外,過去五年有四年有超過72場出賽(2011,13-15),2017年成為自由球員。
