DAY 1: MLB GM MEETINGS

Today was day one of the MLB GM meetings in Las Vegas...YAY!...here is the summary:

Mets GM Omar Minaya met with K-Rod and according to reports over a steak dinner offered him a 3yr deal.. one report has a 4th yr option...One story out of Vegas has K-Rod willing to accept a 2 yr deal as the Yankees would be interested as Rivera's contract will be up by then..
Also teams are waiting for the Mets to sign K-rod quickly so that the asking price for Fuentes, Wood, Hoffman etc..drops...
So, if the Mets sign a closer not named K-Rod..then K-Rod will probably only get a 2 maybe 3 yr deal at at most 8 mil per year...so maybe its best for him to agree to a deal sooner than later

Minaya also met with Brian Fuentes at 12:30pm and then Trevor Hoffman shortly after..
Also in Las Vaegs is Jeff Wilpon which might mean that the Mets are looking to get things done instead of waiting 6 weeks after the meetings like they did last yr when they landed Johan Santana..

Another developling story is the Brewers offering CC a 6th yr and acc to one report putting an opt out clause after the 2nd or 3rd year....as he will be 30 at that point and if he really misses the west coast he can opt out..

Amongst all this specualtion there has been one deal that has been confirmed and that is a Gerard Laird to Detroit trade that has a couple of minor leaguers going to Texas..

The Jermaine Dye deal is being knocked down and as of now is a false story....

Also the Phillies are looking into trading for Delmon Young..you know the guy that was traded for Matt Garza, Jason Bartlett and a reliever...so who will this "talent" be traded for next..rumor is it is Phillies top SS prospect Jason Donald....

Also one guy that is getting lost in the mix is John Smoltz..he played through injuries last year before shutting it down..I am very skeptical to see where he goes and for how much...

UPDATE: SI WFAN SNY Jon Heyman is reporting that the Mets have offered K-Rod a 2 yr deal with a 3rd yr option at roughly 12 million per yr
