MLB Free Agency

Theres a lot of guys on the Free Agent Market this offeason. I saw STL mention on another thread that he doesn't think Pujols will be back now that La Russa has retired. Here are some of the big time Free Agents

P-CJ Wilson
P-CC Sabathia(If he opts out of his remaining years as a NYY)
1B-Albert Pujols
1B-Prince Fielder
CF-Grady Sizemore

You gotta think that if Pujols doesn't sign with St. Louis they might try to go after Fielder? Texas said that if CJ Wilson asks more than 5 years 75MM they are not gonna pursue resigning him. I think he will go to the AL East. Texas could use a good hitting first baseman. I think the Rangers will offer up a contract to Prince Fielder and possibly Sizemore and if they get Sizemore then play Hamilton in LF and Sizemore in CF. This should be a great offseason!

CC Sabathia yesterday told New York he was opting out of the 4 remaining years.

Cleveland picked up Derek Lowe in trade today and Let go Grady Seizemore

If you have facebook hit up MLB network and they have another page with trade rumors and confirmed trades and signings.

MLB Network is on 153 on Dish Network I LOVE IT!!!!!

So is Sizemore a Free agent? You think St. Louis will go after Fielder if they don't get Pujols?

I dunno if Seizmore was a free agent or not. They just said he was let go. When they traded a triple a player for Derek Lowe.

They will not sign Fielder. They locked in Berkman for 1 year in case Albert leaves. Alan Craig then will take over right field.

I was reading an article on bleacherreport that said the two most likely destinations for Albert Pujols are the Cardinals or the Rangers. Lol both teams that just played in the World Series are gonna be going after the best player in the Majors. I hope he joins the Rangers!

Hope the Rays resign Johnny D and kotch to a long term deal

Pasco08 · #11 10-31-2011, 11:58 PM

Rays need to Resign All of there free agents and keep things status Qou but with all the arms they have they will probably trade Shields and maybe price or Wade for some bats as they have proven they can develop arms and they have plenty of them to go around there just a shortage on the big bats.

Glad we ree signed farnsworth and sheilds. Hopefully we can re sign damon too.

LaRussa has a interview appearing tonight on MLB Network with Bob Costas 7pm ET

Quote:

La Russa on Pujols’ upcoming free agency: You gotta believe St. Louis has the edge, but … I know Albert’s going to be reasonable. More reasonable than people think. I know the organization is going to try like heck to get him. So will that get to [come together]? I don’t know. I just know you’ve got two wonderful entities that are gonna work to make it happen, and we’ll see.

I honestly hope he stays with St. Louis. I would like to see a amazing player like him stay with one team through out his career. You don't see that to often.

It has to be between STL, Chicago Cubs, LA Dodgers. Phils, Yankees, and Redsox already have legit 1st baseman. And I would hate to see him be a DH as he is a great 1st baseman

STL · #15 11-02-2011, 01:47 AM

Phils, Yankees and Redsox already have good 1st baseman.

Chicago has the Rays old first baseman
