- Many Unanswered Questions As the Winter Meetings Wind Down
The Philadelphia Phillies dealt young starting pitchers Vance Worley and Trevor May to the Minnesota Twins for center fielder Ben Revere, addressing Philly’s biggest lineup hole and dramatically changing the market for available outfielders now that Michael Bourn’s most likely path is blocked.
As the Winter Meetings near their end here in Nashville, the latest buzz has Zack Greinke potentially going somewhere other than the Dodgers. Which seems impossible, really. And here’s the latest being reported on the megadeal front: The Rays and Royals have talked about a swap of Minor League Player of the Year Wil Myers for veteran right-hander James Shields.
A grab bag of smaller deals and rumors.

Monday
Angel Pagan might be a late bloomer. And the Giants just gave him a four-year contract, worth $40 million.
The Boston Red Sox signed Mike Napoli to a three-year, $39 million contract. Which raises the question: Which Mike Napoli are they getting?
