I can tell you I have called 29 other teams, and all of our special assistants are flying in tonight to start two days of meetings. . . . We?re going to take a fresh look at everything.

We're glad to have it behind us. I hate going through the hearings. We're glad we got it done with Felipe.

We have no active talks going on involving Austin Kearns, and we have no plans to trade him.

We haven't had anything to proceed on yet.

They've been intensive. They will get more intensive until we get something done. I'm hopeful. We're focusing all of our energies to do that now. We'll reach closure one way or another.

We're very high on Eddie. Hopefully, he'll come to Spring Training and grab that job. It's his to take.

We feel that Kearns is going to be part of the solution here. We want him to be in right field. He's a potential Gold Glove winner, and his bat can help this team win.

It's not a very active time right now. A few teams are making deals, as people can see, but a lot of teams aren't really in that mode.

He's got work to do to get back any skills he may have had. Just because he played there in high school before he was signed doesn't mean he's Gold Glove caliber. This will be the focus for him in Spring Training.
