The list of notable free agent starters has dwindled down to a precious few, with Kyle Lohse headlining the list and Shaun Marcum waiting in the wings. Teams could always go the trade route to bolster the rotation, with Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe suggesting Sunday that Chicago White Sox righthander Gavin Floyd could be available.
The White Sox have said they want to keep Floyd, who has five straight seasons of double-digit wins, but the 29-year-old could be expendable given that Hector Santiago and Nestor Molina will soon make a serious case for major league gigs.
Floyd, whose name was floated as trade bait earlier this winter, will be a free agent after next season and will make a manageable $9.5 million, making him even more attractive.
