Mark DeRosa, INF/OF, free agent - DeRosa has drawn a lot of interest, but no team has been willing to get up into DeRosa’s asking price, which has been in the $10 million per range. The feeling is the price has come down recently. The Mets could pull the trigger and use him at first base. He could be a very good fit for the Red Sox.
Chien-Ming Wang, RHP, free agent - Fifteen teams have inquired about the rehabbing righty, according to agent Alan Nero, and while Nero wouldn’t confirm which teams are involved (except the Yankees, who would like to match any final offer) you can bet the Red Sox are one of them. The plan, according to Nero, is for Wang to visit Dr. James Andrews Jan. 4 and get an updated timeframe on his comeback. The big righthander has had foot, hip, and shoulder issues the past year-plus, but appears to be in good shape. Nero said Wang has been long-tossing since Dec. 1 with no issues, and is hoping to return to the mound in early May.
