Heyman's Latest: Vlad, Thome, Molina, Mets

SI.com's Jon Heyman brings us some updates from around the league, via Twitter:

• Vladimir Guerrero's main suitors appear to be the Rangers, Orioles, and Athletics. Only the Orioles have a set option at designated hitter of that bunch, in Luke Scott. He can man first base, however, and his name has popped up in trade rumors from time to time.
• Heyman lists the same suitors for another DH candidate -- Jim Thome. In a separate tweet, Heyman agrees with this report that the Twins are a possible landing spot as well.
• Bengie Molina is now "on the fence" about playing in 2011. Heyman says the veteran backstop could sit out for a year and then return in 2012.
• The Mets prefer Chris Young to Jeff Francis, as Young is said to be willing to accept a guaranteed salary of around $2MM. Francis, according to Heyman, is looking for a guarantee between $4MM and $5MM.
