INDIANAPOLIS -- Not sure if you heard, but there was a trade involving an AL Central team at the annual Winter Meetings. The
Tigers teamed up with the
Yankees and
Diamondbacks to form a three-team, seven-player blockbuster trade. It was easily the biggest news of the meetings and the rest of the division was relatively quiet.
The
Royals released
Mike Jacobs, closing the chapter on the embarrassing trade they made for him last winter (sending the
Marlins their present closer,
Leo Nunez) and were tied to free-agent catcher
Jason Kendall (though nothing has come through just yet). Though manager Manny Acta said the
Indians are open to bringing in a first baseman, it's been reported they don't have any money to spend. The
White Sox were tied to several players, but nothing ever came of that, aside from extending the contract of someone they already controlled (
Mark Teahen). The
Twins sent
Boof Bonser to the
Red Sox for a player to be named and
Carl Pavano accepted arbitration.
