Spring training starts this week or maybe next. I guess MLB teams don't want another Pablo Sandoval or Ellsbury or Miggy Cabrera contract.

He wants a long term contract, but more important, he wants to sign with team that has a shot at the pennant. I'm thinking he'll land with the Yankees, settling for a more realistic 'Big Dollar' five year contract.
