Ivan Nova (triceps) placed on disabled list

Yankees placed RHP Ivan Nova on the 15-day disabled list with right triceps inflammation.

Nova was removed in the third inning of Friday's win over the Blue Jays with discomfort in his throwing arm. The Yankees have called up Vidal Nuno to replace him on the active roster. David Phelps will take Nova's spot in the starting rotation.

Mets had meeting with Bartolo Colon's agent

According to WFAN's Sweeny Murti, the Mets met Monday with the agent for free agent pitcher Bartolo Colon.

But the general feeling is that the price will be too high. The Mets are hoping to bring in a new starting pitcher this offseason and Colon is among the better options still available on the open market. The 40-year-old righty posted a 2.65 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 190-plus innings with the A's in 2013. He is also reportedly drawing interest from the Mariners, Angels, Orioles and Royals.

Phillies 'actively shopping' Domonic Brown

Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports hears from a source that the Phillies are actively shopping outfielder Domonic Brown.

The Phillies are reportedly looking to sell high on Brown, who had a career year in 2013. Getting everyday playing time for the first time, he finished with 27 home runs and an .818 OPS. 12 of his homers came in May, which may lead some to conclude his true talent level is lower than it seems. Opening up a spot in the outfield could give the Phillies a reason to more intently shop closer Jonathan Papelbon as well.

Twins to meet with agent of Bronson Arroyo

1500 ESPN's Darren Wolfson hears that the Twins will meet with Bronson Arroyo's agent Monday afternoon.

The Pirates are also expected to meet with him. The two teams make up more than a handful that have shown interest in the free agent right-hander. It's not surprising as the 36-year-old has tossed at least 199 innings in each season dating back to 2005. Other teams rumored to have interest in Arroyo include the Giants, Orioles, Phillies, Dodgers and Angels.

Roy Halladay retires from baseball at age 36

According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, free agent Roy Halladay has decided to retire from baseball.

Halladay dealt with shoulder issues throughout the 2013 season and will hang up his cleats for good at age 36 rather than trying to reestablish himself with a new team in 2014. The right-hander will finish up with a 203-105 career win-loss record and a 3.38 career ERA. He signed a one-day contract Monday with the team that drafted him -- the Blue Jays -- so that he could officially call it quits in that uniform.

Red Sox waiting to make offer for SS Drew

According to WEEI's Rob Bradford, the Red Sox are waiting to make a "definitive offer" to Stephen Drew.

Drew is tied to draft pick compensation and has struggled to attract a healthy market this winter because of it, so the Red Sox will practice patience and hope to get the 30-year-old shortstop on a super team-friendly deal. Drew batted .253/.333/.443 with 13 home runs and 67 RBI in 124 games this past season for Boston.

Dodgers contact Rays about SP David Price

The Dodgers have made contact with the Rays to discuss a potential David Price trade, according to beat writer Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times.

But Hernandez says the Dodgers "don’t plan to aggressively pursue Price" because they're low on top prospects and don't want to completely deplete their farm system. Price is also drawing interest from the Mariners, Angels, Pirates, Rangers, Diamondbacks and Blue Jays. He's under Tampa Bay's control through 2015, so it's not a certainty that he will be traded this winter.

White Sox rethinking trade offers for Sale?

A GM told FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal that "teams are pushing Chicago to consider" trading Chris Sale.

In other words, the trade proposals have been plentiful and pretty attractive. Sale is one of the best pitchers in baseball and under club control through 2019 at a team-friendly rate, but if the rebuilding White Sox can swing multiple top prospects they might pull the trigger on a deal this winter. Sale, 24, posted a 3.07 ERA and 226/46 K/BB ratio in 214 1/3 innings this past season for Chicago. The Diamondbacks are among the teams with serious interest.

Mariners are likely to trade Nick Franklin

Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that the Mariners are drawing significant trade interest on their younger players, with Nick Franklin the most likely to be traded.

With the signing of Robinson Cano, the M's are apparently playing to win now as opposed to building for the future. The 22-year-old struggled in his first taste of MLB action, slashing .225/.303/.382 with 12 homers, 45 RBI and six steals in 102 games while posting a 113/42 K/BB ratio. He's immensely talented however, and should be able to net a nice return package if he's indeed dealt.

Royals interested in veteran INF Omar Infante

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Royals are interested in Omar Infante.

Heyman notes, however, that it will be an "uphill battle" for the Royals because there's a "strong market" for Infante and Kansas City has a limited budget. The Yankees, for one, are interested in Infante as they look for someone to replace Robinson Cano. Infante batted .318/.345/.450 with 10 homers and 51 RBI for the Tigers in 2013.

White Sox showing interest in Chase Headley

Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that the White Sox have shown interest in Chase Headley.

Van Schouwen adds, however, that "indications are the Padres might wait until midseason to shop him," and that the third baseman "wouldn’t make much sense" for the Sox unless he agrees to an extension. The White Sox are slated to go into the 2014 season with a combination of Conor Gillaspie and Jeff Keppinger at third base, so it's no surprise they're looking to upgrade at the hot corner.

Astros sign Chad Qualls to two-year contract

Astros signed RHP Chad Qualls to a two-year, $6 million contract.

The deal includes a club option for 2016 that would bring the total value to $9.5 million. The right-hander fell on hard times in 2012 but rebounded to post a 2.61 ERA and 1.23 WHIP as a middle reliever with the Marlins this past season. Qualls, who saved 24 games as recently as 2009, could also see some late-game action with Houston.
