Derek Jeter now we know what he took
It is now in Jeter's possession. Bravo, Mr. November.

* Mike Sweeney has signed a minor league contract with the Seattle Mariners. He's only going to be 35, but he hasn't been productive since 2005 and hasn't played more than 130 games since 2001.
* Sidney Ponson will anchor the starting rotation for the Netherlands in the WBC. Playing anchor is definitely a good role for him.
* The Diamondbacks and exploring the option of signing Tom Gordon. Apparently, they couldn't persuade Randy Myers to come out of retirement.
* Rich Hill of the Cubs is on the trading block. He's out of options and has fallen out of favor with Jim Hendry and Lou Pinella. He had a solid 2007 season, and he's only going to be 29 this season, so he's a good candidate to thrive with a change of scenery.
* The Pirates have given Paul Maholm a three-year contract extension, which also includes a club option for the fourth year. Maholm had a good season last year, and he's only gonna be 27 this year.
* The Orioles are showing interest in Braden Looper. He'd certainly better their staff, but that doesn't mean it would make them competitive in the AL East.
