Not much to write about today. Still a few days before the free agent world starts to heat up. There is talk of a Jake Peavey for Heilman/Milledge/Owens package floating around. Joel Sherman had it then the Metropolitans dissected it. I’m not really going to spend any more time on it because there isn’t much more to be said. Besides, we all know that its just the kind of thing that fills an early November baseball column.

The only other news I have to report, and I have a good source on this, is that Omar Minaya was overheard trying to get someone to waive a no-trade clause over the phone while at Willie Randolph’s daughter’s wedding. Also notable was Wade Boggs chewing tobacco and using his champagne glass as a spitoon. Classy. Also in attendance, Yogi, Torre, Mariano, and Mazzilli.
