The*Twins*have some interest in*White Sox*outfielder*Alejandro De Aza, who is getting interest even though he's **t everything a club would want in a center fielder, leadoff type. *Last season, De Aza slashed*.264/.323/.405 with 17 homers in 675 plate appearances.
Major league sources say the*Tigers*are still willing to listen to offers on Rick Porcello. While he has shown promise, Detroit would like a hurler with more consistency.
The bidding for Ervin Santana has reportedly come down to the*Orioles*and*Blue Jays. *Cafardo hears*the*Rockies were also in it for some of the day while the Phillies did their due diligence but did **t appear to be in the hunt.
Bud **rris could be an alternative if*Tommy Hunter can’t do the job as Orioles closer, but he also has trade interest and could have some appeal in the NL. *For budgetary reasons, the O's probably wouldn't go for*Phillies*closer Jonathan Papelbon, but it's possible if the Angelos family believes that they have a chance to win it all.
One Red Sox player says that he's **t crying for free agent Stephen Drew. *“Why **t accept a $14.1 million qualifying offer for one year?” the player said. “Is that a bad deal? That’s a lot of money. Stephen would be here playing with us by **w if he’d done that.”
Scouts are watching Orioles*pitcher*Zach Britton closely as he is out of options. Still only 26, Britton is still a pitcher scouts think they can salvage. *The O's are aware of his value and the interest other clubs have, but could stash him in the bullpen if they can’t get good value for him.
