With the baseball winter meetings coming up, it is expected that MLB fans will start hearing about some big signing news in the very near future. The betting sites are buzzing with speculation and much of the speculation is expected to end in the next week or two.

While the pay per head sportsbook world ponders the fate of St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols, the Marlins are wasting no time trying to get a new look to their franchise. The Marlins have changed its name from the Florida Marlins to the Miami Marlins and are getting ready to move into its new stadium in 2012. To go along with the new logo and new uniforms, the Marlins are hoping to put a new marquee pitcher on the mound in the form of left-hander C.J. Wilson. The talks between the Marlins’ management and Wilson’s agent are getting serious, and a deal could be expected as early as next week.

Cubs’ third baseman Aramis Ramirez is a name that had not been mentioned much in the MLB free agency talks. But a betonline review of the talks going on between general managers shows that there are as many as four teams interested in Ramirez, but none seem as serious as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. While the Angels are denying the rumors, all indications point to a Ramirez signing in Anaheim by early next week. The team considered to be giving the Angels the most competition for Ramirez is the Detroit Tigers, but observers say it will be Ramirez going to Anaheim by next week.
