and the trade talks begin..
so far 65 players have opted in the free agent market including Ben Sheets, Manny, Varitek and Milton Bradley.
Delgado had his option picked up by the mets.. no brainer there.
Teixeira and Cora are out there as well. There is a wealth of talent on the market right now. Some teams are going to be loaded next season. It will be interesting to see the makeup of some teams as the players get signed.
Boston for one has some issues with Cora and Tek, but I won't be surprised if they make a move for Tex and keep Tek. The only thing they need is some bullpen help as they should have the starting rotation intact for next year including Buckholz who is doing well in the Fall league. They'll probably pick up Wake's $4 mil option which is dirt cheap. They just need a big bat again.. and Tex can certainly fill that. Of course they would have to do something with Lowell or Youk.. I'd hate to be in Theo's shoes right now.
