News: The Sports Xchange notes that Ben Sheets, who became a free agent after the 2008 season, decided to have elbow surgery when he received no acceptable offers on the market. Because Sheets will not be ready to pitch until the second half of the season, if then, the Brewers will receive no draft-pick compensation when he signs with another club. If a Class A free agent doesn't sign elsewhere before the June draft, his former club loses the compensation of two high draft picks. [...]

Sheets said that he is targeting his comeback for after the All-Star break and should be able to adhere to that timetable if he doesn't suffer any rehab setbacks. The former Brewers ace's most serious suitor was the Texas Rangers, who actually had a two-year deal with him until his obligatory physical raised questions about the condition of the elbow. Talks of restructuring the deal were scrapped and Sheets opted for surgery.

"There's probably logic to it, but it's not going to happen," Melvin said.Close to signing to a two-year deal with Texas Rangers a little more than a week ago, Sheets will now undergo surgery to repair a torn tendon near his elbow, a procedure that will cause the oft-injured starter to miss significant time in 2009. And it's possible the Brewers will have to cover the costs of Sheets surgery and rehabilitation since the injury occurred while Sheets was in a Milwaukee uniform.

Jeff Wilson, of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reports the Texas Rangers remain interested in signing free-agent SP Ben Sheets (Brewers), but do not appear ready to do so anytime soon, according to general manager Jon Daniels. "The lines of communication remain open, but I'm not expecting a deal of any kind at this time," Daniels said. "We have strong interest in Ben under the right circumstances. But some things are out of your control." The team could strike a deal with him that would let him rehab with the team in 2009 and pitch for them in 2010.

Adam McCalvy, of MLB.com, reports it appears that the Milwaukee Brewers will receive no draft-pick compensation for free-agent SP Ben Sheets (Brewers) or New York Yankees SP CC Sabathia. Sheets' elbow injury will likely keep him from signing with another team and giving the Brewers two draft picks before the June draft. The Brewers will not receive draft picks from the Yankees because 1B Mark Teixeira, whom the team also signed this offseason, was ranked numerically higher than Sabathia.

This marks a dramatic shift from just one week ago. The Rangers and Sheets reached an agreement on a two-year contract late last week and only a physical stood in the way of the deal being completed. But everything changed once it was determined that Sheets might require surgery. The Rangers could still pursue Sheets, who turns 31 in July, with a deal that would allow him to do his rehabilitation work with them in hopes that he would eventually pitch at a high level again. But that doesn't appear likely. "We've maintained contact but I'm not optimistic at this point," general manager Jon Daniels said Thursday morning.

Sheets could be headed for elbow surgery after contract negotiations with the Texas Rangers fell through because of the injury. Texas had been discussing a two-year deal with Sheets, the NL starter in the All-Star game last season, a person familiar with the talks said Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deal never was finalized. A physical revealed that the torn flexor tendon Sheets sustained last season apparently has not healed, the person said. Sheets struggled with a sore elbow down the stretch last season for Milwaukee and didn't pitch in the playoffs. He said then that he had torn a flexor tendon near his right elbow, but insisted that he just needed to rest his ailing arm during the offseason. Sheets went 13-9 with a 3.09 ERA in 31 starts and made $12.1 million last season. He declined Milwaukee's offer of salary arbitration.

Sheets declined an arbitration offer from Milwaukee on Dec. 8, but he was injured while a Brewers employee. He worked much of the second half of the 2008 season with elbow pain and was left off Milwaukee's postseason roster, then revealed to reporters that he had torn the flexor tendon near his right elbow. At the time, according to asssistant GM Gord Ash, the medical prognosis was that, "with rest and exercise and rehab, he should be fine." Asked if there was any talk of surgery at that time, Ash replied simply, "None." The Rangers could still pursue Sheets with a deal that would allow him to do his rehabilitation work with them in hopes that he would eventually pitch at a high level again. But that doesn't appear to be the case. "We've maintained contact but I'm not optimistic at this point," general manager Jon Daniels said Thursday morning.
