Some are speculating that there will be a firesale as the team tries to shed payroll going into the 2010 season, while others are saying that any such talk is ridiculous.<br />
<br />
Still, that hasn't stopped rumors from spreading around the league that players like <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/curtis-granderson/7455">Curtis Granderson</a> and <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/edwin-jackson/7241">Edwin Jackson</a> are being shopped, and now there's a much bigger name floating around.

<br />
The 2009 season was not one with which the <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/white-sox">Chicago White Sox</a> were pleased. They followed their 2008 division title with a third-place finish in the AL Central and a record of 79-83. When you consider that the team's general manager Kenny Williams is never shy on making big moves when the team does well, there's no telling what he's going to do after a disappointing season.<br />
<br />
So it's pretty safe to assume that the <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/white-sox">White Sox</a> team that takes the field in 2010 will look a lot different than the one Sox fans saw in 2009, and we're not just talking about <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/jake-peavy/6872">Jake Peavy</a> and <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/alex-rios/7254">Alex Rios</a>. What changes will be made on the South Side? Nobody can be sure, but FanHouse has an idea of what Chicago's "other" team might do.<hr size="2" color="#eeeeee" align="center" width="90%" />

<br />
It's a winter of transition for the defending AL Central champion <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/twins">Minnesota Twins</a>. The Twinkies are going back to their roots in every way. No longer will they be playing indoor baseball at the Metrodome as the team will open the new outdoor Target Field in 2010. The team also just unveiled their new old uniforms on Monday as well, as they revert back to their classic look from the early '60s.<br />
<br />
Still, the field on which they play and the uniforms they wear won't be the only thing different about them. This winter they'll also be trying to make the moves necessary to ensure that they get back to the playoffs again in 2010. What moves they'll make remain to be seen, but given the club's history, it's somewhat safe to assume they'll be the right ones.<hr size="2" color="#eeeeee" align="center" width="90%" />

<br />
The <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/tigers">Detroit Tigers</a> are in a unique position this offseason. They missed the playoffs in 2009 after blowing their division lead during the final weeks, and then losing a one-game playoff against the <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/twins">Twins</a> in Minneapolis, but they remain one of the most talented teams in the AL Central. The question is how much of that talent will be back in 2010?<br />
<br />
Dave Dombrowski and the <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/tigers">Tigers</a> are usually one of the more aggressive teams during the offseason in both the free agent market and with trades, and have no problem paying top dollar for players. Still, there's a lot of speculation that things will change this winter as the economy in Detroit is still causing problems. Some are saying that the Tigers are going to be selling off a lot of that talent this winter. So odds are that, either way, the team Tigers fans see on Opening Day in April could look a lot different than the one they saw in the Metrodome last October.<hr size="2" color="#eeeeee" align="center" width="90%" />

</em><br />
Over the last few years there has been a familiar refrain coming out of the City of Fountains: this is the year that the <a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/royals" class="injectedLink">Kansas City Royals</a> will finally be competitive. Yet it just hasn't happened. In fact, since the team won it's lone World Series back in 1985, they've finished over .500 only six times, and only once since the strike season of 1994.<br />
<br />
So if general manager Dayton Moore is going to put together a winning ballclub, it's obvious he has quite a bit of work to do. Still, there is talent on this <a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/royals" class="injectedLink">Royals</a> roster, so Moore might not have to make as many moves this winter as you would think. <hr size="2" color="#eeeeee" align="center" width="90%" />

<br />
The baseball season ended in a way that <a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/indians" class="injectedLink">Cleveland Indians</a> fans had been dreaming it would for a few years. There starting in a World Series game were <a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/cc-sabathia/6603" class="injectedLink">CC Sabathia</a> and <a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/cliff-lee/7026" class="injectedLink">Cliff Lee</a>. The only problem was neither was wearing a Cleveland Indians uniform.<br />
<br />
Needless to say the 2009 season was not kind to the <a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/indians" class="injectedLink">Indians</a>.<br />
<br />
Last winter they hit the free-agent market to bring in guys like <a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/mark-derosa/6094" class="injectedLink">Mark DeRosa</a>, <a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/carl-pavano/5945" class="injectedLink">Carl Pavano</a> and <a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/kerry-wood/5982" class="injectedLink">Kerry Wood</a>. By the time the season had ended, only Wood remained on the team, and he wasn't used very often since Cleveland didn't have much use for a closer.<br />
<br />
Now they enter the winter with a brand new manager and some talented players, but if you're hoping for some kind of turnaround in Cleveland next season, then you should probably see a doctor because your dementia has taken a severe turn for the worse. <hr size="2" color="#eeeeee" align="center" width="90%" />

It seems that police arrived at Wetteland's house shortly after receiving a phone call around 1:30 PM ET about a "possibly suicidal person."<br /> <br /> After police arrived at the home Wetteland apparently came out of his house with both arms in the air and told police that he "needed help." Wetteland was then taken to Denton Regional Medical Center outside Dallas.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/11/12/john-wetteland-taken-to-hospital-with-mental-issue/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/forward/19235684/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/11/12/john-wetteland-taken-to-hospital-with-mental-issue/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/11/12/john-wetteland-taken-to-hospital-with-mental-issue/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description>

They made a trade that not only alleviated the surplus of outfielders on their roster but also may have filled the shortstop position for years to come when they sent <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/carlos-gomez/8023">Carlos Gomez</a> to the <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/brewers">Milwaukee Brewers</a> for <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/j.j.-hardy/7283">J.J. Hardy</a>.<br />
<br />
While that trade could turn out to be a key move for the <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/twins">Twins</a> and their future, it's not the only task the team has on its plate as they prepare for life in a new stadium next season. At the top of the list of things general manager Bill Smith should be working on right now is signing catcher <a class="injectedLink" href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/joe-mauer/7062">Joe Mauer</a> to a contract extension, and depending on who you ask, Smith may have already started doing just that.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/11/12/depending-on-who-you-ask-the-twins-have-or-havent-begun-extens/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/forward/19235412/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/11/12/depending-on-who-you-ask-the-twins-have-or-havent-begun-extens/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/11/12/depending-on-who-you-ask-the-twins-have-or-havent-begun-extens/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description>

<title>Phillies Decline Pedro Feliz's Option</title>

It was announced by the team on Sunday that they would not be picking up the option on third baseman <a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/pedro-feliz/6578" class="injectedLink">Pedro Feliz</a>, who will now become a free agent.<br />
<br />
This does not mean that Feliz won't be back with the Phillies next season, it just means that he won't be back at the price of $5.5 million. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. did say that he <a href="http://blogs.delawareonline.com/philledin/2009/11/08/nov-8-phils-decline-feliz-option/">wouldn't rule out re-signing Feliz this winter</a> in the team's official statement regarding the Feliz option.<hr size="2" color="#eeeeee" align="center" width="90%" />

His agent Scott Boras let Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti know about Ramirez's decision on Friday night.<br />
<br />
All of which means that Ramirez will make $20 million with the Dodgers rather than becoming a free agent, which is a smart move considering it's highly unlikely Manny would get that much money anywhere else next year. Manny didn't have the greatest season for the Dodgers in 2009, but <a href="http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-dodgers-manny-ramirez7-2009nov07,0,6172068.story">Colletti is confident he'll bounce back next season</a>.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/11/07/manny-exercises-his-option-to-stay-in-los-angeles/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/forward/19227686/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/11/07/manny-exercises-his-option-to-stay-in-los-angeles/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/11/07/manny-exercises-his-option-to-stay-in-los-angeles/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description>

<br />
Los Angeles <a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/dodgers" class="injectedLink">Dodgers</a> pitcher <a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/players/vicente-padilla/6257" class="injectedLink">Vicente Padilla</a> is back home in his native Nicaragua now his team's season has ended, and while there he's decided to do some hunting. Unfortunately for Vicente it seems his aim with a gun is a lot like his aim with his fastball. Sometimes he loses control of the thing and ends up hitting somebody.<br />
<br />
Though this time it was himself.<br />
<br />
Padilla was treated in a hospital on Tuesday after suffering what is being called <a target="_blank" href="http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-padilla4-2009nov04,0,6153364.story">a "minor" gunshot wound to his right leg</a>.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/11/04/vicente-padilla-shot-himself/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/forward/19223141/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/11/04/vicente-padilla-shot-himself/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/11/04/vicente-padilla-shot-himself/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description>

They <a href="http://www.suntimes.com/sports/1855719,cubs-new-owner-ricketts-family-30.article">are going to win a World Series</a>. That's what Tom Ricketts told the throng of reporters surrounding him.<br /> <br /> It was one of many things the new owner shared, but obviously, considering the Cubs' history of not winning the World Series, that's the line that will either solidify the Ricketts family as legends in Chicago, or hang over their heads for as long as they own the club.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/10/30/new-cubs-owner-plans-on-winning-the-world-series/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/forward/19217201/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/10/30/new-cubs-owner-plans-on-winning-the-world-series/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/10/30/new-cubs-owner-plans-on-winning-the-world-series/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description>

Tom Ricketts' bid to buy the team was first approved earlier this year, and now the team belongs to the son of TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts.<br />
<br />
Along with the team, Ricketts and his family also assume ownership of Wrigley Field and a 25 percent share of Comcast SportsNet in Chicago, which broadcasts Cubs games, along with old Tribune Company standby WGN. Once it's all said and done, the Tribune Company should pull in about $740 million from the deal, a record surpassing the $660 million John Henry, Tom Werner and Larry Lucchino paid for the Red Sox in 2002.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/10/27/sale-of-cubs-finally-complete/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/forward/19211982/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/10/27/sale-of-cubs-finally-complete/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/10/27/sale-of-cubs-finally-complete/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description>
