Jamey Carroll is drawing "significant interest" on the free agent market, according to Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Carroll, 39, elected to become a free agent in October. There was some thought he might retire after batting .211/.267/.251 last year between the Twins and Royals, but apparently that's not the case. It's hard to believe the interest he's receiving is "significant," but it seems as though he'll at least draw enough interest to stick around for another year.

Jamey Carroll has elected free agency. Carroll was going to become a free agent after the World Series, but he's now one a few weeks early with the Royals wanting to clear space on their 40-man roster. The veteran utilityman batted .211/.267/.251 for the Twins and Royals this season.

Royals acquired INF Jamey Carroll from the Twins for a player to be named later or cash considerations. With Miguel Tejada and Chris Getz both sidelined, Carroll should see semi-regular starts at second base. The 39-year-old is batting .230/.283/.262 over 59 games this season.

Jamey Carroll went 0-for-3 Thursday against the Phillies. The veteran has been starting almost every night for the past month due to injuries, but he's done nothing with those at-bats. Now batting .210/.274/.234 over 124 at-bats, Minnesota would do well to banish Carroll from the leadoff spot permanently.

Jamey Carroll went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored Wednesday against the White Sox. Carroll also knocked in his fourth run of the season. The veteran was starting just his 11th game, though he has played a bit more of late. As rarely as homers and steals come for him, he needs to be an everyday guy to be useful in AL-only leagues.

Jamey Carroll went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in the Twins' 8-3 victory over the Red Sox on Friday. Carroll has had a decent enough spring, but he's getting bumped from the starting lineup by Brian Dozier anyway. He still figures to receive considerable playing time, but with his complete lack of power and speed, he needs to be an everyday guy to maintain any AL-only value at all.

Jamey Carroll was added to the reserve list for Team USA for the World Baseball Classic. Carroll would simply replace someone in the event of an injury. The 39-year-old has experience at shortstop, second base, third base and has even played some outfield in the past.

Jamey Carroll singled in Denard Span in the top of the 10th as the Twins completed a doubleheader sweep of the Tigers on Sunday. Glen Perkins pitched a scoreless bottom of the 10th afterwards for his 14th save. The Tigers just needed to win once today to move into a tie for first place in the AL Central. Now they're a game back.

Jamey Carroll hit a rare home run in Monday's loss to the White Sox. Carroll's solo blast in the fifth was his first since August of 2009, ending a major league-long streak of 1,348 consecutive at-bats without a longball. He also singled in the game.

Jamey Carroll had a great day at the dish on Friday, going 4-for-4 including the game winning single in a 6-5 victory over the Red Sox in 10 innings. Darin Mastroianni led off the 10th with a double, and after Brian Dozier was unable to sacrifice him to second, Carroll stepped up and singled him home to give the Twins the lead and the eventual game. Carroll has been a disappointing acquisition for the Twins, hitting just .243 with no homers and 31 RBI on the season, but came through in a big way on Friday evening.
