NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- The New York Yankees, Miami Marlins and Los Angeles Dodgers all remain in the mix for the two most coveted free-agent closers in baseball, Aroldis Chapman and Kenley Jansen, sources said.Now, Everyone is waiting on Chapman,?said an executive of one interested team on Wednesday.The assumption among the teams in on both closers is that Chapmans contract will set the market for Jansen, if only because the team signing Chapman would not be required to sacrifice its first draft pick. Only the club signing Jansen would lose a pick, because Jansen received and rejected a qualifying offer.At least one of the teams involved expected Chapman to choose a team within the next 24 hours. But with negotiations ongoing and Chapmans agent, Barry Praver, trying to push Chapmans package above $90 million for five years, the exact timetable remained unclear.The Yankees and Marlins have made five-year offers to both closers, sources said. And the Dodgers remain interested in both, although it was uncertain Wednesday night whether they had actually made formal offers to either.Chapman has long been regarded as the Yankees first choice. But sources who have spoken with the Marlins describe Miami as being significantly more interested than previously believed.As ESPN reported Tuesday night, Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria has given the OK to spend the dollars required to sign one of the free-agent closers, and he has said the ultimate decision on what the team ultimately does is up to his baseball people. One source who had spoken with the Miami front office characterized that group on Wednesday as now leaning toward Chapman, because he wouldnt cost the club a draft pick.However, other sources have described Marlins manager Don Mattingly as being strongly in favor of signing Jansen, his former closer in Los Angeles. And Mattingly admitted Wednesday he had called Jansen to let him know the Marlins had legitimate interest and to gauge Jansens interest in coming to Miami.I think the main thing I could say is that he wasnt opposed, Mattingly said. He didnt tell me, Im absolutely going back to the West Coast, or, I absolutely dont want to play in South Florida. So basically, he was open to the idea.Dodgers general manager Farhan Zaidi said Wednesday his team was in a holding pattern.Were involved in a few markets where some dominoes need to start falling, and quite frankly, I think other people are in the same position where they are waiting to see what we do, and that might guide them in other directions, he said.Certainly on the reliever side, I think a lot of the teams that are shopping in that market probably want to fill [the closer role] before looking at some secondary pieces. Similarly, there are still a lot of quality relievers out there in free agency that are probably waiting to see if they can use some perceived setting of the market to their benefit.Zaidi added that, Theres no trade or free-agent deal that is available to us that we would say that we would do right now.Earlier in these meetings, Mark Melancon set a record for the largest contract for a closer by signing a four-year, $62 million deal with the San Francisco Giants. Now, Chapman and Jansen seem poised to sign deals that could be $20 million to $30 million above that figure.But the biggest remaining drama of these winter meetings isnt how large the contracts will be. It revolves around three teams bidding on two of the best closers in the game -- which means two of them will solve their closer questions for the next five years, while the third will be left with neither of the above.Options for the club that lands neither will be to pursue a less pricey free agent, such as Greg Holland, Brad Ziegler, Koji Uehara or Santiago Casilla, or to pursue a trade for someone such as David Robertson of the Chicago White Sox or Alex Colome of the Tampa Bay Rays.So as these meetings draw to a close and Chapman and Jansen remain unsigned, the stakes for all three teams in pursuit of them are now nearly as high as the dollars.ESPNs Doug Padilla contributed to this report.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons are likely to lose tight end Jacob Tamme to season-ending shoulder surgery, while the outlook for Pro Bowl cornerback Desmond Trufant and running back Tevin Coleman appears optimistic as they recover from their respective injuries.Tamme is scheduled to get a second opinion Wednesday on the right shoulder he injured Oct. 30 against Green Bay. Its highly likely Tamme will then have surgery Thursday.Were bummed for him, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. Its a significant one. Hes been trying like hell to rehab and just not coming through like he wanted.Quinn said that is not the case with Trufant, who suffered a shoulder/pectoral injury in a 43-28 win Nov. 3 at Tampa Bay. This weeks bye gives Trufant extra time to recover before the Falcons play the Arizona Cardinals?on?Nov. 27.Hes definitely dealing with it, Quinn said of Trufant. Were hopeful that he can practice some next week. And if he can, whether its Arizona or whoever we play after Arizona, weve got to find out. Hes doing good now. Hes running and doing everything. So now we just have to see where hes at.Quinn insisted that Trufant will return at some point and the injury is not serious enough to be season-ending, even with the pectoral element factored in.You totally can [play with the injury], Quinn said. It depends on the severity of what he has and how deep.dddddddddddd ... If it was something really significant, then he would have had the procedures done.Im trying to be mindful of him knowing that hes wanting to play. Hes going to practice hopefully some the Arizona week. And then well determine, Does he look good enough to play, or do we wait another week? And then well kind of go from there.Meanwhile, Quinn said he expects Coleman to be a full participant in practice after the bye coming off a hamstring strain. Coleman has missed the past three games because of the injury.Punter Matt Bosher, who exited Sundays 25-14 loss at Philadelphia with a hamstring strain, could be back for the Falcons next game. The Falcons have no immediate plans to sign a punter. Kicker Matt Bryant handled the punting after Bosher left the Eagles game, though wide receiver Mohamed Sanu volunteered to punt.The loss of Tamme, who caught 22 passes for 2010 yards and three touchdowns through eight games, will mean an increased role for rookie Austin Hooper at tight end with a rotation that also will include Levine Toilolo and rookie Joshua Perkins.Until Trufant returns, Jalen Collins will run with the starters at cornerback. Quinn said Collins played solid against the Eagles in place of Trufant. ' ' '
