<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->With baseball's annual winter meetings unfurling this week at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, rumors run rampant.

A noteworthy one involving the Cincinnati Reds is making the rounds — pitcher Homer Bailey for Chicago White Sox outfielder Jermaine Dye.

A major-league source close to the situation told The Dayton Daily News on Sunday, Dec. 7, "The deal is done and will be announced this week."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Dayton Daily News

Two years ago Bailey was the top pitching prospect in all of baseball. I've seen him several times here in Louisville and he throws in the high 90s consistently. He has control problems and is supposed to be a jerk-off. He has a reputation of not working hard as well.

This trade would help the Reds instantly. I really thought they underachieved last year. They have a ton of young talent and by adding a good veteran player might make a big difference.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->According to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick, outfielder Corey Patterson switched from Scott Boras to Jim Bronner and Bob Gilhooley. Crasnick figures Patterson will sign a minor league deal given his .205/.238/.344 line in '08.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

He left Boras? Or Boras left him?

That rumor has been shot down by several sources on both sides.

Rosenthal confirms it. The Tigers reached a one-year agreement with Adam Everett for $1MM plus incentives. The deal is pending a physical.

I guess that ends the speculation on Jack Wilson.

It sounds like that little bitch Freel might be headed to the O's for Ramon Hernandez. I'd assume that means Cub-killer Javier Valentin isn't coming back at least.

Ben Sheets and CC talked to the Yankees today.

The Mets talked with Fuentes and will be talking with Hoffman.

The Indians are interested in a deal for Miguel Tejada.
