Buzz: Dodgers, Giants, maybe Marlins
During a press conference with reporters yesterday, Dodgers GM Ned Colletti said he intends to meet with his new 
manager, Joe Torre, to discuss the possibility of signing free-agent 3B Alex Rodriguez.
Similarly, Giants GM Brian Sabean told reporters he plans to ‘kick the tires’ on Rodriguez, like he will do for all free agents, though signing him is a ‘reach.’
Meanwhile, in the Miami Herald, Clark Spencer notes that a top front-office executive for the Marlins did not discount the idea of his team making a run at Rodriguez, a ‘Miami native.’
However, the Palm-Beach Post cites a team source as denying interest, while noting how GM Larry Beinfest would not comment on the topic.
Last month, at CNNMoney.com, Chris Isidore did bit of research and determined that the Marlins would benefit most, financially, from signing Rodriguez, because there is only a ‘marginal economic benefit’ for teams like the Yankees, Mets, Angels, etc.
…man, wouldn’t that be something…imagine if the Marlins trade Miguel Cabrera for prospects, which would also free up roughly $10 million next season, while signing a-rod in advance of eventually building a new stadium…i mean, if miami is a tourist town, a-rod could be their Mickey Mouse and be the national attraction they’re missing for a stadium that is typically empty in june…i doubt this will happen, but it would be interesting to say the least, especially since we’ve come to think of the Marlins in such an impoverished way…
