*Royals Assistant GM J.J. Picollo interviewed for the GM position.
*So did Dodgers Assistant GM Logan White. White interviewed in 2007, when the Astros decided to hire Ed Wade.
*The Tigers were interested in trading for Wandy Rodriguez, but aren't happy with the price tag.
They were approached at some point with the idea of trading for Houston's Wandy Rodriguez, according to sources, but while there was some limited interest, the idea died quickly.
*The Marlins, however/of course, are interested in trading for Wandy. They seem to be more interested in Gio Gonzalez, but it's likely that Wandy wouldn't cost as much. But since the Marlins are printing money underneath their new stadium, it may not matter.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
