• The Tigers weren’t able to trade Jacque Jones; he’ll become a free agent tomorrow.  The Marlins are expected to make an offer.
• The Cubs signed a Korean high school shortstop named Lee Hak-ju.  Aaron Shinsano, who works for the Cubs as a scout, says the team believes he’d have been a first round pick in the states.
• Giants owner Peter Magowan is expected to step down Friday.
• Troy Renck says the Rox still want Julian Tavarez but won’t give up pitching prospect Brandon Hynick.  Baseball America ranked Hynick eighth among Rockies prospects, they describe him as a command guy with a decent splitter.  The Sox are talking to two or three teams about Tavarez.
• Not a surprise, but Jon Garland isn’t likely to sign back with the White Sox.
