Who wants Milton?
ByKen Rosenthal and John Paul Morosi of Fox Sports reports that three teams are interested in troubled outfielder Milton Bradley: the Rays, Rangers and Mariners.
It was rumored last week that the Rays wanted to trade Pat Burrell and his large contract to the Cubs for troubled outfielder Milton Bradley. One source even was quoted as saying this trade was ”three-quarters” done. Bradley, 32 on Opening Day 2010, is owed $9 million in 2010 and $12 million in 2011. The Cubs are willing to pick up a portion of his salary in a trade.
The Rangers would be a good fit for Bradley, but it’s a “longshot” according to Rosenthal and Morosi. He did not leave the team with the best of terms after the 2007 season.
The Mariners would be an even bigger longshot. They may not want to add a controversial player to a team that just acquired Chone Figgins and Cliff Lee.
Last week, the other teams rumored to be involved include the Kansas City Royals and Jose Guillen’s one year $12 million contract, the Detroit Tigers and Dontrelle Willis’ $12 million left on his contract and the Toronto Blue Jay’s and Vernon Wells‘ contract.
