With the Cliff Lee sweepstakes over, what do the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago White Sox do if they want a starting pitcher?
The Cleveland Indians may have two right-handers available this month in Jake Westbrook and Fausto Carmona, though the club said this week they are not simply looking to dump salary. Carmona could be a fit for clubs not willing to rent a player, since he’s signed at a reasonable rate through 2011.
The Chicago Cubs are probably going to field calls on left-hander Ted Lilly, if they haven’t already, and they might be looking to find a taker for right-hander Carlos Zambrano — good luck, Jim Hendry.
The Mets, however, specifically desire a front line arm, which means if they can’t land Lee, they have to turn to Roy Oswalt and Dan Haren, both of whom are guaranteed money after this season. Haren might cost more in trade than the Mets are willing to give up, however, especially considering their farm system isn’t considered deep.
Houston’s Brett Myers and Baltimore’s Jeremy Guthrie may be two right-handers that end up elsewhere this month, and may be more realistic for clubs such as the Dodgers and White Sox, while the Phillies are also scouting Oakland’s Ben Sheets
