" Hello everyone I'm ready for Rocky time for hot stove update for Adam please be joined by foxsports.com. Senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal getting first off. Happiness to you my friend. You hear that you're okay. I'll do well that's great allows talk some baseball reports are Manny Ramirez's. Getting serious attention from the Giants but the Dodgers. Rework Andruw jones' contract to free up salary space so obviously. They're still in the mix who's the leader the only Manny sweepstakes."

" So already I'm not convinced that the Giants are indeed -- on Manny Ramirez at least at the level where they would need to be. Now. The way you look at the market right now if the Giants are not the other suitors and it's really only the doctors at least this forestry now."

" But what about the Angels they no longer have Mark Teixeira is now a Yankee man is perhaps the greatest right handed hitter ever -- a clutch. Playoff performer exactly what the Angels need. Why aren't they interest -- man."

" No argument from me on that Randy I believe that they should be interested in Manny."

" In fact they've really could use a left handed hitter -- perfect world tumble like gone or Braves."

" And yet they don't seem to be interested in any hitter and be that the public stance."

" They want to give younger players what can -- out to chance let Juan Rivera flame war but c'mon. None of those type of guy or anywhere near what Manny Ramirez can be or even what I've done or Braves could be."

" Sounds like some definite possibilities there you mentioned Adam Dunn he had. Garret Anderson just two of the seemingly endless amount of other outfielders slash DH types that are still available. For all these guys eventually get picked up."

" What this job eventually at least most of them well we thought the players left he's been basically forced into retirement. Kenny Lofton Steve Finley fell into that category. You're right we've got -- still a lot of guys out there is so it doesn't Abreu of course they're going to get jobs."

" Some of these players might be scrambling at the end as the closer strain training and some of them might not get jobs at least not the level where they want them today."

" The Yankees don't appear to have room for every one that looks like. They'll need to unload someone via trade and -- getting value for guys like Nick Swisher Xavier Nady with other teams knowing that the yanks have to make the."

" Are absolutely that you get value because those players are productive. Nick Swisher obviously coming off a down year but the switch hitter who could play first base at all three outfield positions. Haiti is -- free -- at the end of next season but he can play first base and both outfield corners."

" And he was a very productive guy last year remember the Yankees acquired him from the Pirates to continue to hit well."

" And somehow someway the Yankees always seem to be able to make some sort of deal of talk pitching now Derek -- yet the -- contract Eli. We ever get what he wants sorely be disappointed."

" It's going to be disappointed at least where he was looking earlier in the off season. You're report and I -- and actually about him what he's got eighteen million dollars a year. 456 years. How bout that was I'm not certain but that was approximately what level he was looking for. It should appear that you going to get."

" For filing with the economy the way it is you think any free agents have considered signing a one year deal and hoping for a better market next winner."

" There's no question Randy debt free agents are looking at the market. And perhaps viewing things a little bit differently. Well worth -- because -- two year deal with the rays in all enable him to be created again age 34 which is not terribly old. And -- repeated continue rivalry. Players signing shorter deals 12 years with the hope of getting back onto the market once the economy. Presumably --"
