"As of right now, Buffalo has him flying in on Sunday for a Monday visit, but I will keep you posted," agent William Vann McElroy said. 0 Comments | Share: Cardinals | Yadier Molina wants to stay St. Louis Cardinals C Yadier Molina insists the public, rocky, separation between his good friend Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 1B Albert Pujols and the Cardinals hasn't affected his desire to stay with the team. Molina was absent from the Winter Warm-Up and didn't accompany the team to the White House visit, fueling speculation Molina was angry with the team. Molina said he made his decision for personal reasons having to do with charity work performed in Puerto Rico and made a donation to Cardinals Care to offset money lost due to his absence. "I'm sorry I didn't make it the last two years, but I had something I had to do back home," Molina said. "It doesn't mean I won't come next year or hopefully the next five or six years. I love the city. I love the fans. I love the ballpark. Whatever they like to do is how it is… It's business for the team, too. It's out of my hands." 0 Comments | Share: White Sox | Mitch Mustain signs The Chicago White Sox signed P Mitch Mustain to a minor league contract. Mustain, 23, hasn't pitched since high school when he was one of the top quarterback prospects in the nation.

He has told friends he is touching 90 mph on the radar gun. 0 Comments | Share: Raiders | Veteran players should be on alert Veteran Oakland Raiders players should be on high alert following the release of CB Stanford Routt Thursday, Feb. 9.

General manager Dan O'Dowd said he could look to limit Pomeranz and SP Alex White's innings later in the season by skipping starts. He also said the club could carry 13 pitchers at times to have enough arms if the young rotation falters. 0 Comments | Share: Bengals | Rey Maualuga involved in bar fight Cincinnati Bengals LB Rey Maualuga was reportedly involved in a downtown bar fight over the weekend and injured the manager. Maualuga allegedly punched the manager, causing injuries. The incident happened near closing time at the bar. "One of them said something at which point I repeated myself, that they had to leave, and then Rey Maualuga got up, took three or four steps and punched me in the face, more noticeably the eye, then my nose started to bleed," said manager Sammy Laham. "Then security diffused the situation." 0 Comments | Share: Rockies | Jhoulys Chacin overweight Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd is upset with SP Jhoulys Chacin's offseason conditioning. O'Dowd thinks Chacin needs to drop weight, because the added pounds affect the balance in his delivery and undermine his fastball command. Chacin spent much of the winter training in Venezuela rather than working out in Tucson. A person close to Chacin said the right-hander weighs 226 pounds - and expects to be close to the 218 he was last spring. "I would say he could have worked a little harder this winter. I am not really happy about that," O'Dowd said. "I don't think it will be an issue by the time we get to camp. But it has to get to a point where he has maturity and discipline and realizes that this is his career." 0 Comments | Share: Pirates | A.J. Burnett deal gaining steam The Pittsburgh Pirates are gaining traction in a deal for New York Yankees SP A.J. Burnett.

Of those 17, eight were for holding and seven for pass interference. 0 Comments | Share: Bills | Brad Smith could have expanded role The possibility of using Buffalo Bills WR Brad Smith more in the Wildcat formation is intriguing to new quarterbacks coach David Lee, who brought the Wildcat to the NFL while with the Miami Dolphins. "He did a great job with the Jets when he was there," Lee said of Smith. "The exciting thing to me about it is ... that he can throw so much better than Ronnie Brown could." 0 Comments | Share: Steelers | Ben Roethlisberger receives feedback about Todd Haley Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger said that he's heard both good and bad things about new offensive coordinator Todd Haley from people around the NFL. "Everybody has an opinion, as we all know, and they're letting me know what their interaction with him was - good, bad and indifferent," Roethlisberger said. 0 Comments | Share: Angels | Willing to deal Bobby Abreu The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are willing to deal OF/DH Bobby Abreu for a middling prospect. Abreu, who makes $9 million this season, slugged a career-low .364 last season. "He doesn't drive the ball much anymore," one scout said. "He's not very good in the outfield. And he makes a ton of money. So I really don't think he'll have much of a market." 0 Comments | Share: Raiders | Cornerback a huge need The cornerback position represents a huge offseason priority for the Oakland Raiders to fill, even prior to the release of CB Stanford Routt. CB Chris X. Johnson is the only veteran corner currently on the roster. 0 Comments | Share: Cardinals | Likely to keep Kyle McClellan The St. Louis Cardinals will likely keep SP Kyle McClellan for the time being now that it appears free-agent SP Roy Oswalt (Phillies) is not headed for the Cardinals. 0 Comments | Share: Titans | Stanford Routt planning to visit Free-agent CB Stanford Routt's (Raiders) agent said Routt plans on meeting with the Tennessee Titans in the near future. 0 Comments | Share: Bills | Stanford Routt planning to visit Free-agent CB Stanford Routt's (Raiders) agent said Routt plans on meeting with the Buffalo Bills in the near future. 0 Comments | Share: Chargers | Byron Storer added The San Diego Chargers hired Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant special teams coach Byron Storer as a special teams assistant Thursday, Feb. 9. 0 Comments | Share: 49ers | Joshua Morgan running San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent WR Joshua Morgan (leg) is running and sprinting on his surgically repaired right leg.
