Heyman On Hamilton, Sanchez, Tigers

The latest from Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (Twitter links)...

• While the Rangers didn’t offer Josh Hamilton a guaranteed five-year deal, they offered him a contract that could have gotten him to five years (presumably via contract options).  There’s no language in Hamilton’s five-year, $125MM contract with the Angels about his past issues, Heyman reports.
• A couple of rival executives are “aghast” over Anibal Sanchez’s five-year, $80MM contract with the Tigers. Heyman suggests Sanchez is a better bet than C.J. Wilson, who signed for $77.5MM over five years last December.
• Heyman’s colleague Danny Knobler heard the Rangers are a possibility for Rick Porcello, who has also drawn interest from a number of National League teams, including the Pirates and Padres.
