Ahead of Major League Baseball's 2014 Winter Meetings beginning on Dec. 7, the league's 30 general managers are in the midst of off-season renovations. TSN.ca looks at the day's hottest rumours as free agent season is in full swing.

San Diego Panda?

The options for free-agent third baseman Pablo Sandoval have reportedly increased by one more team as Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports is reporting that the San Diego Padres were making a formal offer to the 28-year-old.

This report comes on the heels of Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reporting that the Red Sox have made a five-year, $95 million offer to Sandoval.

The switch-hitting free-agent hit .366 during the 2014 MLB postseason helping lead the San Francisco Giants to their third World Series title in five seasons.

Sandoval hit 16 homers and drove in 73 runs in 157 games during the regular season for the Giants.

Since breaking into the MLB in 2008 Sandoval has spent his entire career in San Francisco.

Rosenthal is also reporting that the Giants contacted Sandoval's represenatives on Saturday.

Max Beyond Detroit?

Detroit Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowksi told Jim Bowden MLB Network Radio that while there is a possibility of the team resigning starter Max Scherzer, he felt the odds of inking the former Cy Young award winner last off season were better.

Scherzer, coming off capturing the trophy for best American League pitcher, rejected a six-year, $144 million contract extension.

The 30-year-old tied for the league lead with 18 wins in 2014 after leading the league with 21 the prior season.  He also posted 3.15 ERA up slightly from his 2.90 ERA in his Cy Young season.
