8:35PM EST November 9. 2012 - INDIAN WELLS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Dodgers already have an All-Star right fielder, but are aggressively pursuing free-agent right fielder Torii Hunter, a high-ranking Dodgers' official told USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity due to ongoing negotiations.
The Texas Rangers already have an All-Star shortstop, but were trying to grab Atlanta Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons, two high-ranking club officials, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity due to negotiations.
The annual Major League Baseball general managers' meetings concluded today, and there was more confusion at the end of the meetings than when they congregated Wednesday.
Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti would neither confirm or deny whether All-Star right fielder Andre Ethier was available, but told that he did not have any trade talks with any team during the GM meetings.
When asked if they were actively pursuing Hunter, Colletti simply said: "I'm not going to talk about him or any other free agent.''
