With no trade possibilities on the horizon, the Giants are likely to make A.J. Pierzynski a free agent.

Pierzynski’s availability will give the Red Sox a little more leverage with Jason Varitek. The best guess is that Pierzynski will end up in Los Angeles, but we wouldn’t rule out the possibility that the Phillies will sign him and then pay the Dodgers to take Mike Lieberthal.

According to the catcher’s agent, the White Sox have made an offer to A.J. Pierzynski.

Agent Steve Hilliard wouldn’t say whether it was a one-year or a multiyear proposal. While the rotation is looking better, the White Sox do need to upgrade to Pierzynski behind the plate or Alex Cora at second base if they want to challenge the Twins.

A.J. Pierzynski was moved to the No. 8 spot in the order yesterday.

Manager Ron Gardenhire knows that Pierzynski hates hitting eighth, but that’s where he hit last year when he hit .300 with 49 RBI. Pierzynski is currently hitting .233 with five RBI. Anything that could help him get going is good for his value.

A.J. Pierzynski got last night off to rest his sore ankle.

With Bobby Kielty able to DH, and Matthew LeCroy playing well, Pierzynski was able to take a game off. He’d played in every game since coming back from the ankle injury May 6.

A.J. Pierzynski, bothered by a sore left ankle for most of the season, has decided against surgery after seeing a specialist.

Because the Twins need to save money and think Joe Mauer is nearly ready, the arbitration-eligible Pierzynski is a candidate to be traded this winter. The Padres are believed to be interested.
