2010 MLB Free Agent Rumors: According to Ken Rosenthal

By Allan

Ken Rosenthal wrote a piece on the biggest free agent names left on the market and he predicted where they will land.  You can read the article in its entirety here, but I’ll give a quick synopsis:

Matt Holliday:  Probably will sign a $120 million seven-year contract with the Cardinals.

Johnny Damon:  The Giants and Braves would be a good fit, but San Francisco may want a better defender in left field so Rosenthal thinks he’ll land with Atlanta.

Adrian BeltreAgreement with Boston.

Joel Pineiro:  At least six clubs could spend on a starter – Mets, Dodgers, Angels, Brewers, Nationals and Orioles, but Rosenthal thinks Pineiro will end up with the New York Mets.

Aroldis Chapman:  Thinks a low-revenue club like the Florida Marlins will sign Chapman.

Orlando Hudson:  Teams interested include the Mets, Mariners and Nationals.  If the Mets can trade Castillo, then Hudson will be in New York.

Ben Sheets:  Many question Sheets’ health.  If the Cubs want to gamble with his elbow, he’ll land there.

Vladimir Guerrero:  The Tigers and Rangers are in need of a DH, but the market is flooded.  Rosenthal picks the Rangers.

Miguel Tejada:  The soon-to-be 36 year old could go to Minnesota if he can brave the cold weather.  However, if Tejada’s price drops he may to go the Cardinals.

Jose Valverde:  The Tigers are in need of a closer.  If Valverde’s price drops he may be headed to Detroit.
