Olney: The Aggressive Move for Randy Wolf
According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, “Teams are being aggressive in pursuit of Randy Wolf.”
In a report for SI.com last week, Jon Heyman said the Mets are expected to make a play for Wolf.
…from what i can gather, just like Jason Marquis, Jon Garland and Doug Davis, teams are likely to offer wolf something around a two– year deal, worth roughly $8 million or so per season… i am sure one of these guys will be able squeak out a three-year deal, and i fear it could come from the Mets, who seem eager to get one pitcher off the market before the Winter Meetings begin…
Yesterday, FoxSports.com, the New York Post and the Daily News all reported that, while the Mets would like to sign free-agent RHP John Lackey, they will also pursue, and are more likely to sign, one or two starting pitchers from a group that includes Wolf, Pineiro, Ben Sheets and Marquis.
Speaking of starting pitchers…
Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times believes the Dodgers are a long shot to acquire Roy Halladay from the Blue Jays.
Last week on WFAN, Heyman said Halladay wants to sign his next long-term contract with a team that trains in Florida and plays on the East Coast, noting, ‘The list I heard last summer, for him, did not include the two Los Angeles teams.’
