Likely Landing Spots Part 2
Evan Longoria RFA OAK Projected Salary 24.00? (Non RFA)
1. Orioles – Currently no 3B on the roster and the $ to spend, this GM has never been afraid to get the position players needed to fill the line up.
2. Phillies – Strong up the middle, stability at the hot corner for power is need for this team. They will also be linked to frazier.
Other potential suitors: Orioles, Tigers, Athletics
Todd Frazier – RFA Cin Projected Salary 28.00 ?(Non RFA)
1. Reds – With a need at 3B, can you read between the lines? All signs lead point to a homecoming.
Dark Horse Suitors – Tigers, Rangers
Johnny Cueto ATL RFA - Projected Salary 31.00
1. Tigers – Picking up a dependable pitcher to pair with the other horses will create the playoff need for the next few years. A club that is a fan of international players increase the likeliness of the pairing.
2. Braves: A serious need for high end pitching, but a serious grouping of RFA rights will force some tough choices this month.
NON RFA LIST
Carlos Gonzalez Projected Salary 31.00
1. Rangers – a serious offense and outfield bat need, picking up cargo on a 1-2 year deal give rangers a chance to get out of the gate strong and have a solid trade chip at the dead line.
2. Mets – looking to continue the reign of dominance by bringing a big bat fits the mold.
Least Likely Spot – Rockies – a falling out early in his career has banished him from the affection this GM. Throw in lack of roster space and a reunion would take 15 GMs ending up in a 24 hour coma simultaneously.
Nelson Cruz Projected salary 28.00
1. Astros – In need of a big bat, OF depth, and OF/UTIL flexibility makes this reunion high probability.
2. Cardinals – A need in the outfield stable bat, this would round out the offense.
Other potential suitors: Tigers, Orioles, Indians
Freddie Freeman Projected Salary 35.00
1. Athletics – Probably looking to put a stamp on their team, grabbing freeman is an easy pick up for this squad to build around for years.
2. Orioles – Another team looking to improve their offense and reshape the roster, the money is available for this club.
Other possibilities: Braves, Cardinals
Max Scherzer: Projected Salary 33.00
1. Mets – Currently in possession of solid pitching, the possibility exists of adding Max to take this strength to the next level.
2. Indians – Solid offense, supporting Strasburg and picking up some wins and high quality inning are crucial to contend.
Other options: Astros, Phillies
Jake Arrieta Projected Salary 33.00
1. Rangers - Depending on the Kershaw signing, Rangers will likely look to add 1-2 of the top pitching free agents.
2. Astros – Rounding out the rotation is a huge need here for the blooming squad.
