PRO Rumors: Scott Eyre comback, Cubs rotation, Mets and Ron Mahay, Kevin Millar making the team?
ByGood morning! Here are a few stories to follow today:
- Paul Hagen of the Philadelphia Daily News says that former Phillies relief pitcher Scott Eyre is not against a comeback. “I’m not against [a comeback] completely,” Eyre said. “Somebody would have to call me. But my elbow feels good. I throw batting practice to my two boys every couple days. I’ll stay in shape just in case.”
- Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times says that there is a four-way race for two spots in the Cubs rotation. The competition includes Sean Marshall, Tom Gorzelanny, Carlos Silva and Jeff Samardzija. Wittenmyer says Marshall may be the only one with an upper-hand.
- Left-handed pitcher Ron Mahay won’t be signing with the New York Mets if they offer him a Minor League deal. A separate source says no way that the Mets offer Mahay a major-league contract. (Adam Rubin, New York Post)
- Kevin Millar may get a bench spot from the Chicago Cubs when camp breaks later this month. Millar has been tearing up Spring Training by hitting .385 with an on-base percentage of .600. Millar signed a Minor League contract with an invite to Spring Training this winter, so he’s not guaranteed a roster spot. (Gordon Wittenmyer, Chicago Sun Times)
