Fuentes Price May Be Too High
Filed under: News
Are the Phillies out of the mix for Brian Fuentes? If the Rockies are looking at these cats, the blockbuster we’ve all grown to love seems like their best deal.
The Rockies are playing an intriguing game of poker with closer Brian Fuentes. The price is high, causing most interested teams — the Tampa Bay Rays, the New York Yankees and Mets, the Boston Red Sox and the Florida Marlins — to consider other options. Colorado wants a premium starting pitcher, a fair demand save for the fact the teams interested in Fuentes see him as a two-month rental, not a long-term solution. All already have closers, and Fuentes is determined to test the market before considering signing somewhere as a setup man.
