Nov 13 The Phillies have interest in signing Polanco to fill their opening at third base, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Recommendation: Polanco, who won a Gold Glove at second base this year, is willing to move to third, as long as it's for a contending team. The Phillies are also considering Mark DeRosa and Adrian Beltre for their opening at third.

Nov 12 2B Placido Polanco, who may be headed elsewhere as a free agent this off-season, has been awarded his second Gold Glove in the last three years with Detroit. Polanco made just two errors in 2009 after not making any in 2007, when he also won a Gold Glove at his position. The recent announcement of the award let Polanco join SS Alan Trammell and 2B Lou Whitaker as the only Tiger infielders to win multiple Gold Gloves, an award begun in 1957. Yahoo! Sports
