Oh, Man
Will Ohman has three offers, but it sounds like he's waiting for a better team to come calling:
Will Ohman, one of the top relievers left on baseball's free agent market, has major league offers in hand from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Florida Marlins and San Diego Padres, but plans to continue discussions with three contending teams before making a decision on his destination for 2009, his agent said Monday.
The Phillies, Mets and Dodgers have all stayed in touch with Ohman, but their interest has yet to progress beyond the talking stage.
In his six years in the majors, Ohman's strikeouts and home runs are very good, but he walks a few too many. Still, he seems like a player that can help a contender.
Unfortunate that the Cubs gave him away for nothing. They could use a lefty like him now.
