Olney On Crawford, Berkman, Konerko

The Angels are seen as the favorites to sign Carl Crawford and we know the Red Sox met with him and his representatives, but it looks like at least one more American League team has strong interest in the left fielder. ESPN.com's Buster Olney has the details:

• The Yankees are very much engaged in conversations with Crawford, though it's unclear whether they have the flexibility to spend on him and Cliff Lee (Twitter links). The Yankees plan to set up a meeting with Crawford, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com (Twitter link).
• The A's are targeting Lance Berkman enthusiastically, but they haven't started talking salary with him (Twitter link).
• The White Sox still appear to be the favorites to sign Paul Konerko, Olney writes. The Orioles and Cubs appear to be in on the first baseman, but the Diamondbacks may no longer be bidding for him.
• Olney says the Nationals missed out on a chance to extend Adam Dunn or recoup more value for him. 
• Olney boldly predicts that the Yankees will reach an agreement with Derek Jeter today.
