Carroll is reportedly mulling over offers from several teams with a decision coming soon, but a return to the Rockies won't be among those choices.

Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that free agent infielder Jamey Carrroll is evaluating offers from several teams and that a decision could come soon.

Several teams have been linked to Carroll this offseason including the Rays, Rangers, Indians, Blue Jays, Royals and Padres. The 39-year-old is expected to be utilized in a utility role and remains an unattractive option for fantasy purposes.

In addition to the Rays, the Rangers, Indians, Blue Jays, Royals and Padres have all expressed at least some level of interest in Carroll this winter.

Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports that several teams remain in talks with free agent infielder Jamey Carroll.

The Rays, Rangers, Indians, Blue Jays, Royals and Padres have all expressed at least some level of interest at some point this offseason. With this strong level of interest, it wouldn't be surprising for the 39-year-old to secure a major league deal. His limited upside offensively leaves him as an uninspiring option in fantasy leagues however.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that Jamey Carroll is receiving interest from the Royals, Rangers, Indians, Blue Jays, Rays and Padres.

Ben Nicholson of Sportsnet.ca reported last week that the Red Sox had some interest, as well. Carroll is 39 years old and batted just .211/.267/.251 in 249 plate appearances this past season, but teams will value his versatility. He should be able to land a major league deal.

Carroll is 39 years old and batted just .211/.267/.251 in 249 plate appearances this past season, but it sure sounds like he'll find a guaranteed major league contract. Carroll can play all around the infield. Talks are expected to heat up at next week's Winter Meetings.

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 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.
