"Executives and agents arrive in Dallas for the winter meetings in a week, which means Hot Stove rumors of all kinds will abound. Among them should include some expanding of the known markets for Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder, which have been slow to build. … The Pujols negotiations will be held against the backdrop of a highly negative profile of his agent, Dan Lozano, on Deadspin.com. Lozano disputes the facts put forth in the piece — including an allegation that he would mislead clients about their team's offers, sometimes taking the original offer while telling clients that he had negotiated significant raises — and Pujols is standing by Lozano. … Can Yonder Alonso become a solid left fielder? That's the question the White Sox are studying as the Reds shop the left-handed-hitting slugger for pitching. Alonso would be blocked with Paul Konerko at first base and Adam Dunn as designated hitter, although if the Sox really are willing to let Mark Buehrle walk you wonder if they also would approach Konerko about waiving his no-trade clause."
