2B: Furcal eyes A’s, Renteria signs with Giants
According to Enrique Rojas from ESPN.com, free-agent SS Rafael Furcal traveled to the West Coast, ‘where he could complete an agreement with either the A’s or Giants.’
Furcal’s agent told Rojas that a third team is in the mix, but it is not the Mets, despite what his client told El Caribe.
Regardless, Furcal does not want to play second base, Furcal’s agent told Tim Brown at Yahoo! Sports.
That said, the Giants have signed free-agent SS Edgar Renteria to a two-year, $18 million deal, says Sweeny Murti of WFAN, according to MLB Trade Rumors.
…so, if the Giants signed renteria, then i’m guessing the A’s will end up with furcal…
…Update…5:20 pm…
MLB Trade Rumors now links to a story from the San Francisco Chronicle that states Renteria has not signed with the Giants.
…jeez…at this rate, i’m starting to think a more appropriate name would be the Not Stove Season…
