Player Notes

December 1, 2008
Newsday does not expect Jason Giambi to be offered salary arbitration by the Yankees.

Our View:The Yankees do not intend to re-sign him and would not want to get stuck with his salary if he accepted arbitration, which would cut into their plans to sign top free agents, such as CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett.

November 27, 2008
There is speculation that the Orioles may be interested in Jason Giambi, according to OriolePost.com.

Our View:The slugger could be an option if they are unable to land prized free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira.

November 20, 2008
The NY Post speculated that Jason Giambi could be a good fit for the Rays, according to the Hot Stove Blog on MLB.com.

Our View:It would make sense for the Rays to pursue Giambi, as the Rays have two less left-handed hitters after declining Cliff Floyd's option and with Eric Hinske a free agent. Giambi blasted 32 homers in 2008 with a solid .373 OBP. Giambi has hit 11 homers over 65 games at Tropicana Field as well.

November 5, 2008
MLB.com reports that the A's have rehired strength and conditioning coach Bob Alejo. A's general manager Billy Beane, however, essentially mocked the notion that the return of Alejo, who held the same position in Oakland from 1993-2001 prior to joining Jason Giambi in New York, was a precursor that the team is seeking to resign Giambi.

Our View:The Yankees declined Giambi's option earlier in the week. The slugger hit 32 home runs and had a .373 OBP in 2008.

November 4, 2008
The Yankees have declined their option on Jason Giambi, making him a free agent, according to the Sports Network.

Our View:Giambi hit 32 home runs last year and it will be interesting to see how much interest the power hitter will get this off-season.
