Hot Stove is the Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

Not Christmas...Alright I'm lying but there's something about Hot Stove Baseball rumors that makes me feel giddy like a child on Christmas morning. The winter meetings are underway out in Sin City, Las Vegas. Not much action yet (Laird to DET is big news so far) however that will change as time ticks away.

- Looks like the Mets are closing in a deal with K-Rod. I've said numerous times on my radio show that I felt the Mets would end up with Brian Fuentes instead, thinking another team (Indians) might emerge as the dark horse and snatch K-Rod up and that K-Rod's asking price would be too rick for Fred Wilpon's blood. Did not happen, as the Mets played the market brilliantly and now are in a position to choose whomever they want to close games for them.

*How devastating would it be if Fuentes decided he'd like to come to the Mets and be a set-up man and not another team's closer. A 1-2 punch of Fuentes and K-Rod at the end of games would make EVERY Mets fan giddy. We can all dream...
