They've talked to Bay, Lackey and all kinds of other guys. To me, it doesn't mean too much. It's the Post that say a deal is in the works for a 1-year, incentive-heavy deal. They mention nothing of a source. They just say it. Until I see something other then "we had some tea this morning with Cashman," I don't bite. That's all. Well, of course they’ve talked.

This shows his counting stats aren't as short as I'd thought. Unfortunately, he takes a big hit on defense compared to all these guys. Well, he’s likely there based on rate stats.

Just sayin'. But seriously, I can't find the ESPN link, but some commenters on here have touched on it. Not sure if there's any merit to the story.
