There are reports on the radio and in other media reports that Cuban infielder Alexander Guerrero has interest in him from five Major League Baseball teams.
The teams are the Dodgers, Twins, Red Sox and Braves.
The fifth team could be the Cincinnati Reds due to the fact that they signed closer Aroldis Chapman, another Cuban defector. Guerrero is likely to sign where he is comfortable.
The 26-year-old is said to be after a five-to-seven-year deal for his services.
Guerrero defected earlier this year and currently is working out in the Dominican Republic.
In order for him to gain entrance to the United States, Guerrero will have to be unblocked by the Office of Foreign Assests Control and then he can sign with any MLB team.

One of the Cleveland Indians strong points in the second half of the 2010 season was their bullpen and it has pitched well so far this year.
Chad Durbin, Rafael Perez, Frank Herrmann, Tony Sipp and Vinnie Pestano all pitched well as the Indians beat the Red Sox 8-4 in Cleveland for their third straight win. The Red Sox dropped to 0-5 and are off to their worst start since 1996.
The Indians also showed that they can hit the baseball. Shin-Soo Choo, Matt LaPorta and Asdrubal Cabrera homered. Cabrera had the biggest of them all, a three-run drive to the right-field seats in the sixth inning for a 7-2 lead and giving him a 4-RBI night.

Jordan Brown is a money hitter especially with the bases loaded.
He continues to deliver the goods and did so on Sunday night against Pawtucket, in the fifth inning with a bases-clearing double, leading Columbus to the 5-4 victory.

Brown’s three-run double highlighted a four-run inning, their sixteenth of the year, and allowed Columbus to move from one run down to three runs up after its completion. Brown, on the season with the bases loaded, is now 10-for-13 with 26 RBI’s.
Jose Constanza, Josh Rodriguez and Luis Valbuena all scored on Brown’s double. That trio combined to go 4-for-12 at the plate with an RBI and two walks.
Carlos Carrasco started for Columbus but only pitched four innings. He left the game early for the second straight start.
The bullpen of Shane Lindsay and Vinnie Pestano shut the door on the Pawtucket Red Sox.
