On the go: Keppinger, Chavez, Blanton and Bay reach deals with new teams at winter meetings
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Jeff Keppinger, Joe Blanton, Jason Bay and a diamond full of players wound up in different places Wednesday at the winter meetings while top contenders waited for a pair of free-agent prizes to make their decisions.
Lefty relievers Randy Choate and Sean Burnett also joined new teams.
Former MVP Josh Hamilton and former Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke remained in play. They’re the big dominoes this off-season and depending on where they go, more moves will follow.
New York Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey keeps drawing attention. He lives near the Opryland Hotel and dropped in for a visit, though there’s no change in his situation — he wants a new contract, Boston and several other clubs want to trade for the NL Cy Young winner.
Also in the mix: Cleveland shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, amid speculation Arizona is trying to get him in a multi-team swap.
