just Rumor ===============================Juan Pierre====================================== Trade talks continue to dominate the winter meetings. As CBSSports.com reported yesterday, the Dodgers are trying hard to find a taker for outfielder Juan Pierre, and the Pirates have emerged as a surprising possible partner. Sources said Texas is also interested in Pierre, but since neither the Dodgers nor the Rangers can add any money, a deal would require matching up salaries. The Dodgers are hoping to either get a starting pitcher back for Pierre, who is due to make $10 million in 2010 and $8.5 million in 2011, or free up enough money to add a pitcher from elsewhere. There has been talk of a possible flip of bad contracts with Luis Castillo (two years, $12 million) going to the Dodgers in return for Juan Pierre (two years, $22 million). But the Dodgers feel they should get a better return on Pierre and do not like Castillo. Meanwhile, the Mets have not dismissed completely the notion of flipping Castillo for Pat Burrell ($9 million in 2010) if Burrell gets traded from the Rays to the Cubs for Milton Bradley (which remains a strong possibility). ===============================George Sherrill================================== Tigers could target Los Angeles Dodgers reliever George Sherrill The Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Rays are likely very interested in snagging a guy who is under team control through 2011 and has saved 52 games over the past two seasons with a 3.02 ERA and 119 strikeouts in 122.1 innings. The Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers might get into the talks as well And, according to FoxSports.com, the Dodgers "are looking for a starter in exchange for Sherrill." --
