The
Yankees have signalled a willingness to give free agent third baseman
Chase Headley a three-year deal, but with a thin third-base market now that
Aramis Ramirez and
Pablo Sandoval are off the board, it appears Headley is looking around for something better.
By all accounts the Headley-Yankees second-half marriage was a major hit last year, but he likely believes he can beat three years elsewhere.
The Giants have contacted Headley in the wake of Sandoval's departure, as as was reported here Tuesday, and a few more teams could be interested in a starter at third. The
Indians have reached out, according to Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com, the Jays need a third baseman (or second baseman) and showed interest in Headley at the July trade deadline and his old
Padres team still seeks a third baseman following their own aggressive putsuit of Sandoval.
