Major League Baseball’s winter GM Meetings have wrapped up, leaving 30 general managers set to start their off-season renovations. TSN.ca looks at the day’s hottest rumours as free agent season gets off the ground.

Search at Second

Los Angeles Angels veteran second baseman Howie Kendrick is a popular guy.

According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees have called the Angles about the availability of Kendrick who is entering the final year of a four year, $33.5 million contract.

Heyman says Los Angeles aren't necessarily interested in dealing the 31-year-old, but would consider it as they have Gordon Beckham (acquired from the Chicago White Sox in August) who can play the position.

Toronto has been looking for a reliable everyday player at second for the past few years now, despite picking up prospect Devon Travis from the Tigers on Wednesday. 

The Angels have reportedly made third baseman David Freese available as well.

Record Breaking Deal in the Works?

Miami Marlins stud outfielder Giancarlo Stanton might soon be the recipient of the biggest contract in MLB history.

According to Heyman of CBS Sports, the Marlins are close to signing the 25-year-old Stanton to a 13-year, $325 million contract. The deal would keep the outfielder with the Marlins through the year 2027.

Heyman says the deal would have a no-trade clause and could include an opt-out clause as well. Stanton will become a free agent in two seasons if Miami doesn't lock him up. 

If the deal ends up coming to fruition, it would be the largest contract in professional sports history, beating Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers and his 10 year, $292 million deal signed last year. 

Stanton hit .288 with 37 homers and 105 runs batted in over 145 games in 2014, his fifth season in the Majors. He finished second to Clayton Kershaw in NL MVP voting this season.

Closing Time

The Houston Astros are reportedly interested in shoring up their bullpen by going after one of the top free agent closers.

According to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart, the Astros are going after David Robertson, Sergio Romo and Andrew Miller. Houston's bullpen ERA of 4.80 was a Major League worse in 2014 and the addition of a reliable closer could improve that part of their game.

No More Wrens

The Atlanta Braves traded minor league outfielder Kyle Wren to the Milwaukee Brewers for minor league pitcher Zach Quintana on Thursday.

Wren, 23, is the son of former Braves general manager Frank Wren who was fired by the organization in late September. Jeff Wren, Frank's brother and former scout for the Braves, was also let go.

Wren hit .290 with 46 steals last season in Single-A and Double-A.
