With the MLB Off-Season underway, many teams are looking to upgrade, find replacements, and make major renovations to their clubs. Free agents are also in the looks for potential new teams to join. TSN.ca looks at the days hottest off-season rumors and speculations. Blue Jays Considering Callaspo Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports is reporting that the Toronto Blue Jays are considering signing second baseman Alberto Callaspo. The team views him as a “buy-low, bounce back” candidate. Callaspo hit .223 with four home runs last season with Oakland. For Toronto, second base remains a question mark as the team is expecting Ryan Goins and Maicer Izturis to battle for the position in spring training. Marlins Offer Fernandez Contract Jon Heyman is reporting that the Miami Marlins have made a six-year contract offer to pitcher Jose Fernandez worth close to $40 million. The team has also made long-term offers to outfielders Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna, as well as shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria. Fernandez was the 2013 National League Rookie of the Year and went 4-2 with a 2.44 ERA in 2014 before needing to undergo Tommy John surgery. Miller is Popular Left-handed reliever Andrew Miller is likely to sign a four-year deal, according to Buster Olney of ESPN. There are said to be multiple three-year offers for Miller and that it would likely take a fourth year in the deal for him to sign. The New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles have all shown interest. In 62.1 innings last season, Miller had a 2.02 ERA with 103 strikeouts. Grandal Gone? The San Diego Padres have received muliple calls about catcher Yasmani Grandal, accorinding to Buster Olney Grandal isnt the only Padres catcher getting talked about, as Rene Rivera and prospect Austin Hedges are both said the be receiving interest.

Mets Looking to Deal According to Ken Davidoff of the New York Post, the New York Mets are actively looking to trade one of their veteran starting pitchers, including Bartolo Colon, Jon Niese and Dillon Gee. A move could help the Mets free payroll and potentially fill-in some other needs. Davidoff says that there is a “pitching gridlock” that is slowing down all teams who are looking to trade arms.

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Mr. Fraser, In the PIT/NYR Round 2 series, there have been two separate occasions where Marc Staal has taken blatant shots to the head of Pittsburghs Sidney Crosby. In Game 3, Staal hit Crosby with a viscous crosscheck to the back of the head. I was shocked that a penalty wasnt even called on the ice! The league then came out the following day and said that no punishment would be handed down for the hit. The following night, in Game 4, Staal again went after Crosbys head. This time it was a blatant elbow. Again, it was from behind, to the back of the head, nearly knocking the helmet off Crosbys head. Again, there was no call on the ice, and no action taken by the league. Can you explain to me how the league and officials, in this era of "no tolerance" for hits to the head, can allow this kind of thing to go on? How can there be no call on the ice? Obviously, since there was no action for the league, or penalty called, in Game 3, Staal figured he was cleared to do it again in Game 4. I mean, if the NHL doesnt care about the well-being of its marquee players, why should Staal? Thanks for listening. Any light you can shed on this subject would be great! John Waclo John: The cross-check that Marc Staal delivered on Sidney Crosby was well beyond just a minor infraction (Video link) and worthy of at least a five-minute major and game misconduct. This aggressive cross-check delivered to the head area could not be considered an effort by a defensive player to contain, engage in a battle in battle or to clear an opponent from the front of the net. The blow did not start at the name plate on the back of the jersey and thhen rode up to the neck and back of the helmet.dddddddddddd This forceful, full-arm extension cross-check went directly to the back of the neck/head of Crosby and should be considered an attempt to injure and worthy of a match penalty under rule 59.4. For the sake of argument lets reverse the body position of Crosby where he and Staal are face-to-face. If that same force is delivered to the neck and chin of Sid he will most likely be spitting blood, chicklets and perhaps even incur another broken jaw. I would sincerely hope that a match penalty would be assessed in that case and a player would be suspended for cross-checking an opponent in the face! I see a deliberate and forceful cross-check to the back of a players neck and head to be similarly dangerous regardless of the fact it was delivered on a player with a well-documented history of concussions. If you want to see an "old school" hit take a look at the major and game misconduct I assessed to Darian Hatcher in a game in Dallas just prior to the playoffs, when he delivered an elbow to the face of Jeremy Roenick. Roenicks jaw was dislocated, broken in three places and he had eight teeth cracked or broken. Roenick approached me on the ice spitting blood and teeth with his jaw wagging in the breeze as he attempted to say, "He broke my f----n jaw!" Hatcher was suspended for seven games (including the Stars first five playoff games) by Colin Campbell for the illegal hit. See it here. John, you ask how these types of plays can be missed. The answer is there are too many "puck watchers" wearing stripes in these playoffs. Player safety is placed in jeopardy when these aggressive fouls are allowed to go un-penalized. This isnt "old school" officiating; just a lack of awareness. ' ' '
