The free agent market is starting to pick up speed. This also holds true for the best available starter, Yu Darvish, who seems to be particularly interested in six teams.
Less than two weeks before the Winter Meetings in Orlando, the market seems to be gaining momentum. As Jim Bowden of Sirius XM Radio reports, six teams are particularly interested in Darvish,”A handful of other teams are staying close,”Bowden continued.
Darvish started the season with the Texas Rangers and was then sent to the Los Angeles Dodgers via trade. In total, he came to a 3.68 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with 209 strikeouts. He was an all-star four times and entered the World Series for the first time. However, both starts there ended in disaster, which underpinned his 21.6 ERA in the series.
The Minnesota Twins are a team that has talked openly about their interest. General Manager Thad Levine told MLB Network Radio that he is in contact with Darvishs representatives. ESPN also reports that the St. Stephen’s Church is also a part of the city. Louis Cardinals are interested in the Japanese.
