According to Buster Olney in his blog for ESPN, "Cleveland has become a very serious player for Mark Mulder." Olney notes that the Indians would have four southpaws in the rotation if Mulder joins up. He considers Paul Byrd to be the probable odd man out. Of course, the Indians could always look to trade impending free agent Jake Westbrook if Mulder is healthy and effective.
Mulder is chilling on a beach somewhere on his honeymoon, but plenty of teams are talking about him. Lately the Rangers and Mets have been in the rumor mill. A billion other teams have been named in the past. Mulder wants a two-year contract.
People talk about how Jeff Suppan wouldn’t survive back in the AL…looking at the numbers, shouldn’t we have the same sentiment about Mulder?
UPDATE: There is an article here from the Dallas Morning News that mentions the Cards and D’Backs as well.
