Buzz: Angels not Gung-Ho about K-Rod
In his most recent report for SI.com, Jon Heyman writes, “The Angels don’t seem as gung-ho to retain record-breaking closer Francisco Rodriguez as one might think.”
…this is a bit of a red flag to me, since the Angels have the money to bring him back…and so, when a team with money turns its back on one of its own a player, a player they know better than any other team in the league, it raises my eyebrows…or, they’re just playing coy with the market…
Heyman also reports on the Yankees interest in CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Derek Lowe; how the US economy could impact the free-agent market; the future of Jaime Moyer; and Padres RHP Jake Peavy, who, according to Heyman, ‘is expected to be available, as the Padres will likely scale back.’
