The start of the regular season is less than two weeks away,
but the market for free agent Kyle Lohse appears to be getting cloudier. Lohse
will reportedly not wait until the June MLB Draft to sign, and several teams –
including the Milwaukee Brewers, Texas Rangers, Colorado Rockies, Kansas City
Royals, Los Angeles Angels and Cincinnati Reds were connected to the
right-hander yesterday.
The Brewers and Rangers continue to be the two teams most
tied to Lohse. However, Texas has maintained that it is willing to enter the
season using in-house options – including Nick Tepesch, Justin Grimm, Randy Wells
or Robbie Ross – to fill their final rotation spot. The Brewers, on the other
hand, are hesitant to surrender their first-round draft pick to sign Lohse.
The Royals are not interested in Lohse, but the Angels have

When the Cardinals made their qualifying offer to Kyle Lohse, they were counting on two things: (1) that Lohse and greedy agent Scott Boras would like turn it down and (2) as a result they would get a draft pick from the supplemental round (between the first and second rounds of the draft).
However, that may no longer be the case.

Achieving parity in sports is a constant balancing act, and the governing rules which (attempt t0) create such a level playing field are like a pendulum, swinging back and forth in either direction.

The Rockies only would sign Lohse “if by a very, very remote chance he just flat-out doesn’t have anything,” according to one source...
