Posted by: Patrick

The Cubs are confident of signing free-agent designated hitter Milton Bradley, but a number of teams remain interested in the free-agent designated hitter, including the Rays, Yankees and Nationals. The Yankees, as is their custom, are touching base with virtually every available offensive player. ...
Abreu remains in touch with the Yankees (who doesn't?) and also could become a candidate cross-town if the Mets trade Ryan Church. Abreu, 34, had to be encouraged by the three-year, $31.5 million contract that the Phillies awarded Raul Ibanez. He is two years younger than Ibanez, and his .903 career OPS is 85 points higher.
