Stltoday.com reports that the Giants are the leading contender for free agent Mark DeRosa.  The St. Louis Cardinals are also candidates for DeRosa, but have been focused on signing Matt Holliday.  They see DeRosa as a plan B in the event that they cannot sign Holliday.

“We have had continuous dialogue with the Cardinals and with other ballclubs about Mark. Waiting on the Cardinals is not going to stop him from signing a deal,” DeRosa’s agent, Keith Grunewald, said Thursday.

Another destination the DeRosa could land is the Bronx.  Buster Olney of ESPN Tweets:  If (Nick) Johnson passes physical,NYY will move on to next targets — definitely a starting pitcher, and quite possibly Mark DeRosa, if $ are right.
