Update 1/21 17:41: Buster Olney of ESPN Tweets: Heard this: There are a lot of questions among agents about whether the Rangers or LA would have the money needed to sign Ben Sheets (more)

Olney later Tweeted: The Mets and OAK might be in the best position to be aggressive, based on the agents’ perception of who has money this late in the winter.

Update 14:06: Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports said that Dodgers, Cubs, Red Sox, Mariners, Blue Jays, A’s, Reds, Mets, Nationals, Rangers and Phillies had representatives in attendance

According to Buster Olney of ESPN The Magazine, free agent pitcher Ben Sheets threw well in front of 10+ clubs in a public work out on Tuesday. He had a fastball with a solid 90-91 mph.

“If he wanted to pitch in a good pitcher’s park, Sheets could make something happen with the Mets. If he wants to pitch against hitters he knows, he could work out a deal with the Cubs. If he wants to work with a good defense, and in a good pitcher’s park, he could go to Oakland. If he wants to reunite with former Brewers pitching coach Mike Maddux, there is always the Rangers,” Buster writes.

The Mariners could be a destination for Sheets. One Mariner’s scout said, “I was impressed. Ben was free and easy, throwing the ball really well with not too much effort. He had good velocity. I was especially impressed with his curve ball. He’s got a plus Major League curve ball with a lot of depth to it.”

One team that is off the list are the Arizona Diamondbacks. GM Josh Byrnes said the team is likely done making off season moves according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. “We’re comfortable with where we are,” Byrnes said. “If it’s a low-cost shot at something, we might consider it.”
