Willy Aybar, 3B, Tampa Bay Rays

Monday 2/4, 7:59 PM CT

Willy Aybar, who hopes to battle for playing time in the Rays IF this season, is apparently being held on charges of domestic violence in the Dominican Republic. "Aybar is in jail since last week, and he could spend at least three more months in jail if he is convicted of domestic violence," said Jesus Fernandez Velez, the prosecutor in the case. If this estimate is true, Aybar would be extremely doubtful to play with the big league club before May at the earliest, which would give rookie Evan Longoria a possible shot at beginning the year in the majors.

Erik Bedard, P, Seattle Mariners

Monday 2/4, 4:45 PM CT

Erik Bedard appears to be headed to the Seattle Mariners sometime on late Monday or early Tuesday according to a report in the Baltimore Sun. This report, when combined with the one in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer earlier in the day, seems to make it almost certain that Bedard will be switching teams in a matter of hours.

Julio Lugo, SS, Boston Red Sox

Monday 2/4, 2:31 PM CT

The Red Sox's official website speculates that Julio Lugo could lose playing time to prospect Jed Lowrie at some point this season if Lugo struggles like he did in 2007 (.237-8-73 with 33 steals). Lowrie hit .298-13-70 between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Pawtucket last season while showing tremendous patience at the plate.

Curtis Granderson, CF, Detroit Tigers

Monday 2/4, 12:01 PM CT

The Tigers and center fielder Curtis Granderson have agreed to a five-year deal with a team option for 2013, according to the AP. Financial terms were not disclosed, but ESPN reported the deal is worth $30.25 million. Last year Granderson became one of only four players in major league history to produce 20 stolen bases, 20 homers, 20 triples and 20 doubles in a single season.

Adam Jones, CF, Baltimore Orioles

Monday 2/4, 11:08 AM CT

Mariners outfielder Adam Jones traveled to Baltimore on Sunday, presumably to undergo a physical examination that originally was scheduled for Jan. 29, a source told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. A clean bill of health would be the last hurdle standing between the Mariners and Orioles completing their long-rumored Erik Bedard trade.

C.C. Sabathia, P, Cleveland Indians

Monday 2/4, 11:04 AM CT

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the Indians made a four-year offer to C.C. Sabathia at the end of December (which included 2008). It's believed the new money in the Indians' offer to Sabathia is worth between $68 million and $72 million from 2009 and through 2012. The six-year, $137.5 million extension Johan Santana signed Friday with the Mets will probably make that offer to Sabathia insufficient. Sabathia is set to become a free agent after the 2008 season.
