Buzz: Colon’s Options Running for Hills
According to ESPN.com’s Rumor Central, the Royals, White Sox and 
Mets had all been scouting free-agent Bartolo Colon.
However, in a report for ESPN.com last week, Buster Olney wrote that Colon was ‘on the verge’ of signing with the Mets last week, ‘but the Mets backed off after taking a closer look at the condition of his right arm.’
Today, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the Indians have lost interest in Colon as well, after watching him throw 87-89 mph in a Dominican Winter League game.
Similarly, the White Sox have backed off of Colon because of his desire for a mulityear deal, reports the Chicago Sun-Times, who lists the Royals as the favorites to sign Colon.
