There are roughly three weeks until pitchers and catchers are required to report to Spring Training and snine of the winter's top 10 free agents are still available.
In an interview this past weekend, free-agent infielder Mark Reynolds told the Denver Post that he has yet to be offered a major-league contract. Reynolds is 34 years old, hit 30 home runs, and made the All Star team last season and can play first base, third base and corner outfield. And yet, in this market, no one wants him. It's crazy...
I understand Sandy Alderson's reluctance (or inability to) offer long-term deals to free agents in their prime.
