Scott Eyre, a free agent and one of the top left-handed relievers in the game, can begin talking money with other clubs on Friday. And while the Giants have a two-year deal with an option on the table, they don't expect agent Tommy Tanzer to jump on it. "They'll be patient and methodical," said Colletti, who hadn't spoken with Tanzer since last Friday. "Tommy said a lot of clubs have expressed interest, and I don't doubt it for a minute." Eyre led the majors in relief appearances last year. The Giants would pursue another left-hander if they cannot retain Eyre.
