05:35 AM ET 02.09 | When Brian Cashman looks at Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Joe Girardi, the Yankees' GM paints his shortstop, closer and manager with the same brush. And with spring training opening next week in Tampa, Cashman has no plans to stray from his plan of not negotiating with them. All three contracts are in the final year.

05:26 AM ET 02.09 | Curt Schilling fired up his blog again and write that the Red Sox should sign Josh Beckett to a contract extension. His reasoning is that Beckett tries really hard. Just a guess, but the Red Sox might work in a few more factors before they make a decision.

07:07 AM ET 02.09 | There are several reasons to believe the Braves have interest in Johnny Damon, not the least of which is the fact that they have yet to declare publicly, "We have no interest in Johnny Damon." Braves GM Frank Wren understands the team could have an issue at the top of the batting order. He believes, like most, Damon could be a good short-term (one year) fix. But there isn't much money left in the budget and he is waiting to see just how desperate Damon/Boras get.

06:02 AM ET 02.09 | The height of Citi Field's center-field wall will be sliced in half, making the ballpark more homer-friendly, the Daily News has learned. Last season, the wall measured 16 feet in front of the sparsely used Home Run Apple. Now, with the second level of padding being removed, it will measure eight feet in the middle of the outfield.

06:59 AM ET 02.09 | Twins owner Jim Pohlad, in a meeting with reporters Monday at Target Field, said he's "absolutely not" involved in any Joe Mauer contract negotiations. the Twins seem confident their all-star catcher will be around for the long haul, perhaps in large part because, as the organization readies to start a new era at Target Field, revenue boosts should bolster their ability to afford the 2009 American League MVP's salary.
