Buzz: Red Sox most likely to sign Matt Holliday
The MLB Winter Meetings begin next Monday in Indianapolis, and run non-stop through the Rule 5 Draft on Thursday afternoon.
In a report for ESPN.com, Jayson Stark previews the Meetings, and says people he asked believe the Red Sox are most likely to sign free-agent OF Matt Holliday.
Nevertheless, Stark writes:
“No one is exactly certain how much the they have to spend. But no team has more motivation to get back on the radar screen, and back into contention, than the Mets do. So if they get Holliday, Chone Figgins and/or John Lackey to take their money, and if they also sign a catcher, first baseman and second baseman, it will be tough for any team to out-checkbook that.”
Stark also writes previews the top five storylines of the Winter Meetings, writing about the most likely trade and most likely free-agent signing that will occur, as well as the developing Roy Halladay Sweepstakes, all of which you can read here.
