Sources close to Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com reported yesterday that Roy Oswalt had elected to sign with the St. Louis Cardinals. Today, there are some conflicting reports that say the right hander has not agreed to a deal with St. Louis (via Matthew Leach of MLB.com).

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports notes that the Rangers have not made an offer to Oswalt, and that the Astros, Oswalt’s old team could also be a possibility.

Oswalt had received heavy interest from the Red Sox and Tigers, with the Tigers supposedly offering the right hander a one-year $10mm deal yesterday that he turned down.

In 2011, Oswalt went 9-10 while posting a 3.69 era in 139 innings with the Phillies. He did average a career low with 6.0 strike outs per 9 innings and is coming off a series of injuries. Oswalt earned $16mm last season and made $1,777,777.78 for every win or $172,043,01 for every strikeout.
