12:29pm: Loney is also a top target for the Rays, if they can afford him, writes Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Topkin relays some quotes from team president Matthew Silverman's interview on WDAE-620 AM radio this morning: "The good thing for us is he liked it here. We liked him, he fit in well. And we're a known quantity ... I'm hopeful that he can be here."
Loney has zero personality. His personality exists in a state of vacuum. I'm not sure Pirates fans are going to warm up to him if he lands there. I don't see the guy signing for one year though.
