2012 MLB Winter Meetings: Watch Last Day as Teams Get in Final Deals in Nashville

Dec 06, 2012 07:09 AM EST

The MLB Winter Meetings will wrap up in Nashville, Tennessee as Thursday is the final day of this huge gathering that has brought a lot of excitement and news to the offseason.

The story so far, despite not making any noise, has been the inability for the New York Yankees to attract and sign players. 

We know they are being cheap.

They would tell you they see a lot of advantages in keeping their payroll below $200 million, but the Yankees are suffering. 

Meanwhile, around the majors, the Boston Red Sox continue to get their guys signing Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino. 

We found out the Cleveland Indians have some money to spend as they offered Victorino a four-year $44 million contract.

Why? Nobody knows, but they really wanted the Flyin' Hawaiian in their club for four years. 

The Los Angeles Angels continue to build their starting rotation signing Joe Blanton to a two-year deal. They add another starting pitcher to accompany Tommy Hanson. 

The biggest fish are still out there.

Zack Greinke and Josh Hamilton are still up for grabs along with Nick Swisher and the potential four-team trade for the young and talented Justin Upton.

Analysts of MLB Network are urgin the Kansas City Royals to make some sort of move. More recently, they have been named suitors for Anibal Sanchez as they continue to look for starting pitching. 

Their young prospect Wil Meyers has yet to step on a professional field, but he has been brought up in possible trades. 

Check back to Sports World Report as we will bring you the latest updates and entertain possible moves that could go down today or eventually before the end of the season.

The show goes on at 9 a.m. ET and continues through the afternoon and extends into the evening.
