Outfield: Angels may target Raul Ibanez
Jasyon Stark of ESPN.com, and Ken Davidoff at Newsday, both believe free-agent OF Raul Ibanez may become the Angels top target if Mark Teixeira signs with another team.
However, Davidoff adds, “The Cubs and Phillies seem to have taken the lead in the competition to sign Ibanez.”
Earlier in the week at FoxSports.com, Rosenthal listed the Mets, Angels, Phillies, Braves and Nationals among teams interested in Ibanez.
According to Rosenthal, members of the Mets front office were spotted meeting with Ibanez’s agents at a restaurant inside the Bellagio hotel on Tuesday afternoon.
Speaking of outfielders…
Rosenthal recently reported that the rumored deal between the Brewers and Yankees involving Mike Cameron ‘is not done and may not get done.’
According to Rosenthal, Milwuakee is asking for a second player in addition to Ian Kennedy, whilke the Yankees would like the Brewers to pay a portion of Cameron’s contract.
That said, while Joel Sherman of the New York Post says the chances of a deal are ‘remote,’ the Los Angeles Times reports the deal is done.
