"Francisco Rodriguez said Monday that he plans to file for free agency after the season, setting the stage for one of three prominent decisions facing the Angels this winter.

Rodriguez, on pace to set the major league record for saves in a season, said he would not rule out re-signing with the Angels but would no longer consider an extension before soliciting offers from other teams."

It sounds like K-rod is finished with LAA. Who are they going to go to next??? I've been watching Jose Arredondo lately and have to say this kid does look good. Would he be worth picking up in an AL-keeper league??

thanks in advance

Time for the Yankees to step up and give him a PHAT 7 year deal. With all these bums off the books for the Yankees this year, we need to address the pitching in the worst way.

can't say i didn't see this coming. i picked up arredondo a couple days ago in a dynasty league because he has been so good ...planned on dropping him for another pitcher or hitter but now i will probably keep him the rest of the year now. i would say that arredondo is the front runner but i think shields might get a shot at it but because arredondo is much younger i think they'll give it to him. since i already have k-rod in my dynasty league...i would benefit tremendously if he left LA.

i am going to go after him in my al-keepers league on monday, i just hope the press doesn't blow this up!

i doubt he will end up in NY, but hey you never know...

Halos will eventually sign him.

Never going to happen. The Stankees alreary have Rivera signed for more seasons and I just don't see F-Rod signing anywhere as a setup man. Now maybe if the Stankees are willing to pay him more then Rivera, which is what he should get on the open market, he'd consider it. However, it makes no sense to give a non-closer that kind of money.

Yeah, no way the Yankees sign him.
