Jason Bay
Jason Bay might be on the move . but not to the Blue Jays.
According to a report in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pirates have been discussing a five-player trade with the Cleveland Indians. In the proposed deal, the Pirates would send Bay and catcher Ronny Paulino to the Indians for outfielder Franklin Gutierrez, catcher Kelly Shoppach and either starter Cliff Lee or a minor-league pitching prospect.
While the deal is far from done, the two sides are expected to continue discussions Wednesday morning.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa wants third baseman Scott Rolen back.
But only on the team’s terms.
“He’s got a contract to play, and we need him to play,” La Russa said Wednesday at the baseball winter meetings. “And he’s going to be treated very honestly. If he plays hard and plays as well as he can, he plays. And if he doesn’t, he can sit. If he doesn’t like it, he can quit.”

Add Mathieu Flamini to the list of no shows for Arsenal as he joins Cesc Fabregas, Alexander Hleb, and Abou Diaby in the injured list. Flamini was superb in the Villa match having some real meaty blasts at goal.
Which means that the Gunners lack an established central midfielder with Diarra just about getting his feet wet. Gilberto looks like he is already envisioning spending summers in the Copacabana. I still think he should start ahead of Diarra as Arsenal’s record against Newcastle has been less than impressive and we need his experience to deal with a side desperate for a victory. Or Wenger might start both and also keep Eduardo and Adebayor up front in the 4-4-2.
