This is the wake-up call, in case anyone slept last night in Las Vegas.

From the activity or rumors of activity at the Bellagio, the site of Major League Baseball’s Winter Meetings, it appears as if it was a full night, even if nothing of substance actually has gotten done yet.

MLBTRADERUMORS.com, a one-stop shopping place for all that might or might not be going on, has the latest on the Angels’ Mark Teixeira. It looks like he could be headed to the Boston Red Sox. The Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals are outside candidates.

Our Kevin Baxter expects we’ll know more soon about Rafael Furcal and Jake Peavy.

Bill Shaikin explains why the Dodgers NEED to sign CC Sabathia.
