Day two of the Winter Meetings here in Nashville, Tenn. is winding down, and various team executives will continue to wheel and deal tomorrow morning.
It was another productive day at Opryland, and amongst the hustle and bustle of the day's activities, baseball icons including Cal Ripken Jr., Tommy Lasorda and new Kansas City Royals skipper Trey Hillman (a former HWB product) made appearances and took a few seconds to say hello. HWB Executive Committee member Dayton Moore currently serves as the General Manager for the Royals, and gave Hillman some help in the outfield by signing free agent Jose Guillen to a three-year deal. Other than the race for Johan Santana, the Royals are also showing signs of pursuing former Atlanta Braves center fielder Andruw Jones as the club continues to push towards a winning campaign.
Speaking of the soon-to-be blockbuster deal for Santana, the New York Yankees are rumored to be offering 2007 HWB alum Austin Jackson as trade bait, so we'll keep you posted if anything happens.
That's it for now from Nashville, I'll be back tomorrow evening with the final report of our trip!
