OXON HILL, Md. -- Andrew McCutchen, Chris Sale, Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander could be available for the right price.As baseball teams gathered for the start of the winter meetings Monday, star players were dangled along with the usual crop of free agents.When clubs take a dramatic change in direction or even a subtle one, that type of player can become available -- although often its just talk, New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said Sunday. Well see what happens.Having retained outfielder Yoenis Cespedes last week for the biggest deal thus far this offseason, $110 million over four years, Alderson is listening to offers for Curtis Granderson and Jay Bruce.The other New York team made a splash with a free agent Sunday. The Yankees agreed to a $13 million, one-year contract with outfielder Matt Holliday, a person familiar with the negotiations said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deal had not yet been announced.On the eve of the meetings, former Commissioner Bud Selig was elected to the Hall of Fame along with John Schuerholz, architect of the Atlanta Braves teams that won a record 14 straight division titles.Only about one-sixth of major league free agents have agreed to contracts, and the unsigned group includes closers Aroldis Chapman, Kenley Jansen and Mark Melancon; slugger Edwin Encarnacion, major league home run leader Mark Trumbo and outfielders Jose Bautista, Ian Desmond and Dexter Fowler.Negotiations usually gain pace during the winter meetings, when nearly all of baseball is gathered in one hotel. The offseason was framed last month when general managers met. Detroit made clear it had shifted into payroll-paring mode.We chose to be transparent, Tigers GM Al Avila said then. We chose to tell the players the possibility of things happening.McCutchen, who revived somewhat in the late stages of last season, could become a free agent a year from now. Rather than get only a draft pick in return then, the Pirates are likely to be proactive.

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Tyson Fury failed to turn up for a news conference to publicise his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, but promoters Frank Warren and Mick Hennessy insist the fight will happen.Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) was stuck in traffic on the M6 motorway on his way to the conference in London, but Warren says the WBA-WBO world heavyweight champions return fight with Klitschko is going ahead as planned at the Manchester Arena on Oct. 29.All we know at this stage, and his phone battery has gone, is that he has had problems with traffic and his car has broken down, Warren said.This fight is going ahead despite some of the rumours around it.Warren also insisted the prospect of a National Anti-Doping Panel hearing about alleged doping violations by Fury will not threaten the fight.UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) agency revealed a month ago that it had charged Fury and cousin Hughie Fury for using a banned substance on June 24. Fury and fellow heavyweight Hughie strongly deny the allegations.The head of the tribunal Mr [Charles] Flint has ruled the fight will go ahead, said Warren, who also revealed he will be holding talks with Tom Loeffler, of K2 Promotions, about Briton Billy Joe Saunders fighting world middleweight No 1 Gennady Golovkin.There are no problems with UKAD or drugs. Mr Flint said on Friday that the fight will go ahead and the hearing will be after so it will not interfere with it.The fight is all signed and there [are] no problems. The only problem we have is his car breaking down today. Ill get him on my motorbike if it breaks down again on the night of the fight.Furys promoter Hennessy also down-played Furys absence.This is the first press conference Tyson has ever missed, this is not the norm and we are not making it up, said Hennessy.Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs), 40, claiims he was not losing patience with Fury, who pulled out of meeting the former champion on July 9 because he injured an ankle while running.ddddddddddddMorecambe-based Fury pulled off a big shock when he out-pointed Klitschko to lift the WBA, WBO and IBF world titles in Germany in November after the Ukrainian had reigned as world champion for nearly a decade.I wont be surprised if something else happens, Im prepared for anything to achieve my goal and Im obsessed by that, said Klitschko.But eventually we will meet in the ring. The fight is going to come up for real and if its not going to happen in October I will wait. I may be 41 then but I will wait if it gets put back to March or something. Eventually time will run out for the champion because he will need to defend the titles.I understand that Fury is not here right now. I understand the postponement because Ive had injuries myself and I really look forward to revenge.Furys uncle and trainer Peter Fury did make it to the news conference and warned Klitschko he will have to go through a radical change if he is to win back his belts.Last time we didnt get an exciting fight, it was more of a chess match, but this time Wladimir knows he has to do something different to get his belts back and it makes for a mouth-watering fight, said Fury.There has been a lot of ups and down to get this fight on. I want to prove who the real Tyson Fury is: one of the best fighters in the world and I want him to prove his legacy in boxing.There has been chaos around this fight. UKAD have been leaking things out to the press.Tyson is very upset at how he has been treated by the British public. ' ' '
