Some people tend to think that this year's free agency group in baseball is lackluster, not as great as others. You know what that means for those lucky enough to be in that pool, getting over payed. Yay! One guy that is hoping so, though he is a free agent that is worth the money and elite in any class, is Matt Holliday.
The slugging outfielder is one of those players that you look at and realize, he gets it. He knows how to play the game, and he definitely knows how to hit. Now the question is, where is he going to be hitting next season?
At the winter meetings the teams were already trying to jump ahead of one another, and the New York Mets certainly were not going to wait after their dismal year last year. In meeting with Scott Boras, the agent of Holliday, they were trying to get a leg up on the competition, which will be stiff. The Mets are definitely one of the teams that can handle his contract though, as they were in the top five of highest team salaries last year.
Other teams that might be interested include the Giants and the Angels, those California squads. As of right now the Yankees are said to be tending to their re-signing of players from the championship team, but you can never count them out. They are going to be after World Series number 28, and anybody that can help seems to be a good fit, right?
While the Yankees and Mets in New York, and the Giants and Angels in California are the main targets as of now for Holliday, everyone in between the continental United States would love to bring him in as well. Do not count out that little New England town either...
