Albert Pujols' agent, Dan Lozano, is expected to talk contract extension with Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. and GM John Mozeliak during the winter meetings. Pujols is due $16 million in 2011, the last year of his deal, but is likely to seek $25 million or more per year for eight-plus years in a new deal, with Alex Rodriguez's 10-year, $275 million deal with the Yankees the standard. … The A's may turn their attention toward Hideki Matsui after being rejected by Lance Berkman and Adrian Beltre. … Some sources say as many as five teams called Derek Jeter but did not engage in serious talks before his agreement to re-sign with the Yankees. … The Rays are among a number of teams exploring non-tendered left-handed reliever George Sherrill. … The Blue Jays reportedly are willing to swap right-hander Kyle Drabek as part of a Zack Greinke package. Catcher J.P. Arencibia reportedly interests the Royals.
