Pitchers in demand at Meetings

There are several big name pitchers who have been the early talk of the meetings and two could be headed to the National League Central next season, though not with the Pirates of course.

Reportedly:
* San Diego general manager Kevin Towers said Monday that h will either deal Jake Peavy to the Chicago Cubs or to noone at all. Peavy is one of the top pitchers in baseball, but is owed $63 million over the next four seasons and he has a no-trade clause.

* St. Louis is interested in Toronto pitcher A.J. Burnett.

* The New York Mets have offered closer Francisco Rodriguez a three-year contract, but it appears Rodriguez wants at least four years. Rodriguez set the all-time single-season mark for saves last season.

* Dodgers' GM Ned Coletti said CC Sabathia told him he is very interested in joining the Dodgers.

Please keep checking back regularly for more updates.
