Newly non-tendered corner infielder Garrett Atkins has offers from "at least three unidentified clubs," reports ESPN's Jerry Crasnick. Atkins' agent, Jeff Blank, told Crasnick his client is open to first or third base.
Crasnick speculates on the Orioles, Twins, Mariners, Giants, and Rangers as possible fits for Atkins. Talking to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun, Blank admitted he spoke to the Orioles. He said Atkins "is just looking for an opportunity to be a starter."
What would be an appropriate offer for Atkins – perhaps one year and $3-4MM? Will he hold his own offensively away from Coors, and possibly in the American League?
