Buehrle Narrows Field To Five Teams

Yesterday we learned that four teams -- the Marlins, Nationals, Rangers, and Twins -- have made offers to long-time White Sox southpaw Mark Buehrle. We'll run down all of the rumors surrounding the man with 11 straight seasons of 201+ innings here...

• Buehrle doesn't seem to be a real option for the Cardinals, tweets B.J. Rains of FOX Sports Midwest.
• Buehrle is seeking a four-year deal, according to MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan and Bill Ladson.
• The Rangers and Nationals are the most serious and realistic destinations for Buehrle, hears Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio and ESPN.  Nationals GM Mike Rizzo feels there was a connection when he met with Buehrle.
• MLB.com's Anthony DiComo suggests the Mets are a surprising finalist for Buehrle, but GM Sandy Alderson seemed to shoot down the notion of spending big bucks on a free agent starter.  Alderson flat-out said it's not happening, according to Adam Rubin. 
• Buehrle has narrowed the field to five teams, tweets MLB Network's Jon Heyman.  The Rangers and Marlins are believed among them, writes MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan.  The Nationals are another, writes Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post.
