While no one is revealing the details of the four-hoNov. 1 meeting between team officials, Griffey and his agent Brian Goldberg, it is apparent that Griffey let it be known he would accept a trade to six or seven teams, up from the four he had long maintained he would go to (Atlanta, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Houston.) Aside from those four, the Mariners spent time talking to the New York Mets and St. Louis at the recent GM meetings in California. The Yankees, according to sources, also expressed interest but managed to avoid the spotlight in the talks. Seattle's Griffey stalemate is normal enough in negotiations of this magnitude.

"The end of next year at the earliest," he said. Would Lewis be willing to wait 18 months to fight the former heavyweight champion, even if it meant Tyson's skills would be further diminished? "Yes, and they will be," the British fighter said. Lewis said he respected and was sympathetic the troubled fighter of what Tyson has been through, including three years in prison on a rape conviction and jail time for assaulting two motorists after a minor accident. ; "He is a man who used to be great trying to get his life in order," said Lewis.

LOS ANGELES Former Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Mike Scioscia was hired Wednesday as the new manager of the Anaheim Angels. Angels spokesman Tim Mead said Scioscia will be introduced at a news conference today at Edison International Field. KFWB radio had reported earlier in the day that Scioscia, who turns 41 later this month, would be hired to succeed Terry Collins.

It was the Rockies' third offseason trade and second in as many days. Since the World Series, the Rockies have acquired seven players. Only 14 of the 25 players remain from Colorado's 1999 er left-hand- er roster. Third opening-da- y base- man Vinny Castilla, who is being shopped to Los Angeles and Tampa Bay among others, is the only remaining member of the inaugural 1993 team. Myers, 30, fills one of Colorado's major needs: a reliever. He has established himself as one of the league's top lefty setup relievers. In 1999, he finished second to Colorado's Jerry Dipoto by allowing just 15.4 percent of his inherited runners to score. Used primarily to retire batters, Myers held them to a .188 average, ninth in the NL. Overall, he was 1 with a 5.23 ERA while appearing in 71 games.
