Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports that Eric Chavez worked out for the Dodgers on Thursday.

According to Gurnick, Chavez could share time at third base with Casey Blake. The Blue Jays and Mariners are also reportedly interested in the oft-injured Chavez. He'd almost certainly have to accept a minor league contract at this point. And frankly, we're not expecting much.

According to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com, Eric Chavez recently held a personal workout for the Blue Jays.

The oft-injured Chavez has been working out at Athlete's Performance center in Arizona, taking part in hitting, fielding, running and throwing drills. The Mariners and Dodgers have both reportedly expressed interest while one source tells Crasnick that Chavez has one offer on the table from an unidentified club. Chavez, now 33, has played in just 154 games since the start of the 2007 season. He should be able to get a spring training invite somewhere.

Eric Chavez has a workout with the Dodgers on January 20.

The veteran is also going to hold private workouts for two American League teams this month. He has played in only 64 games over the last three seasons, but some club may be willing to invite him to spring training on a minor league contract. Chavez, now 33, still boasts an 821 career OPS.

Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports that Eric Chavez will likely hold an audition for all 30 major league clubs after the new year.

Chavez wants to play again, according to Crasnick, and is currently working out several hours per day at Athletes' Performance Institute (API) in Arizona. He'll almost certainly have to accept a minor league contract in order to continue his career. The oft-injured Chavez has played a grand total of 154 games since the start of the 2007 season. Crasnick floats the Mariners as one possible destination.

According to Mike Silverman of the Boston Herald, Eric Chavez is attempting yet another comeback.

"Eric's looking for the right opportunity, at the right time but his hope and desire is to be playing next season," said Chavez's agent Scott Leventhal, who added that his client is holding "pretty strenuous workouts" five days a week at Athletes Performance in Arizona and "from our perspective, is completely healthy." Silverman reports that the Dodgers are expected to bring him in for a workout, but it's hard to see anyone giving the oft-injured Chavez anything more than a spring training invite.

Eric Chavez said Wednesday that he is considering playing baseball again in 2011 but with a "change of scenery."

The A's rightfully declined Chavez's $12.5 million option for 2011 on Wednesday afternoon. He's battled injuries often and is no longer a valuable major league commodity, but he could land a small contract and try to revitalize his career in another uniform. Chavez is only 32.

Athletics declined DH Eric Chavez's $12.5 million option for 2011.

The biggest no-brainer of them all. He'll receive a $3 million buyout from the club, instead. A wide range of injuries have limited Chavez to just 154 games since the start of the 2007 season. The six-time Gold Glove Award winner is currently considering retirement.

The A's will not exercise Eric Chavez's $12.5 million option for 2011.

There's a no-brainer. The A's will pay Chavez a $3 million buyout instead and send him on his way. He played in only 33 games this season, batting just .234/.276/.333, and is thought to be considering retirement because of chronic neck, back and shoulder issues. Chavez turns 33 in December.

Eric Chavez (neck) confirmed Friday that he will not play again this season.

He's not ready to announce his retirement, though that could change at any time. Chavez said he would eventually be open to coaching or a career in broadcasting. With the setbacks he has had recently, it's wise to start thinking ahead.

Eric Chavez (neck) is expected to announce that he won't play again this season.

Shocking news. Chavez's neck has kept him off the field since May and he's also being bothered by shoulder discomfort. Though he isn't ready to announce his retirement yet, his baseball career is in limbo. The A's hold a $12.5 million option on Chavez for next season, but are expected to pay him a $3 million buyout, instead.

Eric Chavez (neck) will meet with the A's next Thursday to determine the next course of action for him.

Chavez has missed most of the season due to bulging disks in his neck. He recently played in a rehab game for the A's Rookie League club in Arizona, but it's the only game action he's seen since landing on the DL in mid-May. Chavez said earlier this month that for the first time he's begun to consider retirement. He would like to return to the A's in September, but only if it doesn't disrupt the team.

Eric Chavez (neck) told Jane Lee of MLB.com that he is "days away" from swinging a bat, however he is not sure if he'll ever play again.

"I don't know if I'll every play again, I really don't," said Chavez. "But I'm going to try. I'm not going to get on any type of official schedule. My goal is to be back in Oakland by September. It may be in uniform, it may be out of uniform. I'm not really sure yet. But I've been working out and, physically, I'm feeling really good. I'm just going to start trying to do some baseball activities and see what happens. But, I'm literally going to take it day by day and not put a stamp on a plan." This might be the last gasp for him. Retirement is starting him in the face should he run into another roadblock.

Eric Chavez (neck) is contemplating retirement.

But you already knew this. He's on the 60-day disabled list and hasn't resumed his rehab from a neck strain. "I've pondered retirement," Chavez said. "I'd lie if I said I didn't. The truth of the matter is that I don't know what I'm going to do." Retirement is likely in his immediate future.

Eric Chavez (neck) told the San Francisco Chronicle that he may not be back until September.

Chavez, who was placed on the 60-day disabled list Wednesday, still hasn't resumed his rehab from a neck strain. Don't be surprised if retirement in his in his future.

Athletics transferred DH Eric Chavez from the 15-day day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

Chavez has not resumed his rehab from a neck strain and may still be considering retirement. He should not be counted on for the rest of the season.

Athletics manager Bob Geren said that Eric Chavez (neck) hasn't resumed his rehab.

"I haven't heard much from Eric," said Geren. "He's taking some time off to see how his body responds and currently that's where he's at right now." Chavez stopped rehabbing with the Athletics just over a week ago and is currently resting at his home in Arizona. We're not counting on his return anytime soon.

Eric Chavez's (neck) minor league rehab assignment has been delayed.

He was scheduled to start it with Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, but Chavez informed manager Bob Geren that he doesn't feel ready to start playing in games just yet. He's been out since May 21 and isn't likely to ever make an impact at the major league level again.

Eric Chavez (neck) took batting practice Monday for the first time since going on the disabled list.

The bulging disks in his neck are feeling better after nearly two weeks of rest and traction therapy. Chavez hopes to go out on a minor league rehab assignment sometime next week. While this is a positive development, it would be folly for fantasy owners to hold their breath.

Eric Chavez (neck) is targeting Monday for his return to Oakland to begin working out with the team.

To borrow a phrase from the late Mark Twain, rumors of Chavez's pending retirement were greatly exaggerated. Chavez is still a ways away from returning to the A's lineup, but he'll at least be around the team as he works his way back from the two bulging discs in his neck. The A's are 8-5 since Chavez was placed on the DL on May 22.

Eric Chavez reiterated his desire to rehab through his neck injury and his belief that it is not a career threatening injury in a text message to Susan Slusser

When he was placed on the disabled list, Chavez sounded a lot less sure of these facts, but he may have gotten some good news in the intervening period. There hasn't been any new information as to how long he could be out with the injury, but if he's determined to make it back to A's lineup, we'll keep an eye on his progress. He was hitting just .234/.276/.333 with one home run and 10 RBI in 33 games before this injury.
