According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, the Indians have reached a one-year contract with Brett Myers. The deal includes a club option for 2014. Myers, 32, posted a solid 3.31 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 41/15 K/BB ratio in 65 1/3 innings of relief last year between the Astros and White Sox. He'll return to starting duties with Cleveland and should carry value in mixed fantasy leagues.

A National League general manager told Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe that Brett Myers has "been asking for too much money." "The feeling is he's been asking for too much money," the GM said. "I think teams are waiting for the price to come down. He can certainly help a team. I think a lot of teams have him on a wish list." After spending all of 2012 in the bullpen, Myers is seeking a starting job for 2013. The Padres, Twins and Orioles are among the teams known to have interest in the veteran right-hander.

According to Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Padres have been talking to free agent Brett Myers. The Padres haven't addressed their rotation outside of re-signing Jason Marquis and trading for Tyson Ross, and are looking at Myers as a starter. He would presumably be used as insurance with Cory Luebke (Tommy John surgery) out until around midseason. Myers has received interest from the Orioles and Twins this offseason. FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported last week that the Padres are also among the teams interested in Joe Saunders.

FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi reports that the Orioles have shown interest in Brett Myers. Myers posted a 3.31 ERA and 41/15 K/BB ratio in 70 appearances as a reliever last year, but would presumably be used as a starter in Baltimore. In addition to the Orioles, he's been linked to the Twins and Royals this offseason.

The Twins are reportedly interested in free agent Brett Myers. Myers wants to be a starter again, and there's a "growing sense" he could be one of the Twins' primary targets. The 32-year-old posted a 3.31 ERA in 70 appearances between the Astros and White Sox last season and would be an immediate upgrade to Minnesota's starting rotation. "They're interested, perhaps even very interested," agent Craig Landis said. "That's as far as we are right now."

Brett Myers told Dan Hayes of CSNChicago.com that he's willing to market himself as both a starting pitcher and reliever this offseason. The White Sox considered picking up a $10 million option on Myers and using him as a starter next season, but ultimately decided to re-sign Jake Peavy and Gavin Floyd and let him test the open market. Myers, 32, posted a 3.12 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 35 games with Chicago after coming over from the Astros at the trade deadline.

White Sox declined RHP Brett Myers' $10 million option for 2013. The Sox considered the possibility of picking up the option and using Myers as a starter, but after bringing both Jake Peavy and Gavin Floyd back, it didn't make sense. Myers, 32, should hold some appeal on the free agent market as a starter or possibly a closer.

White Sox general manager Kenny Williams hasn't dismissed the possibility of picking up Brett Myers' $10 million option for 2013 and moving him into the rotation. The Sox aren't going to pay Myers $10 million to be a setup man, but he might not be a bad investment at that rate for one year as a starter. Of course, they also have a $9.5 million option on Gavin Floyd and have Chris Sale, John Danks, Jose Quintana and Hector Santiago available as rotation options. Myers posted a 3.12 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over 35 games with the Sox after coming over from Houston via trade.

White Sox GM Kenny Williams clarified on Saturday that Brett Myers was acquired to solidify the bullpen, but not to pitch in the closer's role. The organization maintains full confidence in Addison Reed, and he'll continue to operate in that capacity for the time being. Still, if Reed blows a few more opportunities, having another qualified option in the bullpen may prompt at least a discussion about making the switch.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports the White Sox have acquired Brett Myers from the Astros. The Astros are in rebuilding mode, and Myers is the latest veteran to be moved prior to the July 31 trade deadline. His role in Chicago remains to be seen, though Addison Reed figures to maintain his status as closer. Myers has a $10 million club option for 2013 with a $3 million buyout.
