The Rangers are the only team that has publicly stated interest in Sheets, but the process continues to move slowly. The Rangers are still reviewing Sheets' medical history, and they are still reluctant to do a multiyear contract. Sheets is looking for at least a two-year deal while the Rangers so far have shown a willingness to do just one year with a possible club option. "Anytime somebody signs another starting pitcher, that obviously lessens the competition," Rangers president Nolan Ryan said Monday afternoon.

The Orioles are not going after Ben Sheets, according to MASN. The Orioles don't want to take a risk on him, as he's been on the DL six times in his career.Sheets is one of the best starters in the league when healthy. He racked up nearly 200 innings last year and even that was with a stint on the DL. It's still unclear how much money he will command due to the risk he presents to clubs, but it's hard to believe he could get more than a two-year deal for the same reason.

Sheets had a right flexor tendon injury at the end of last season, and that has scared off a number of teams in their pursuit of a pitcher who otherwise would have been one of the top free agents on the market this offseason. Sheets' agent, Casey Close, is looking for a multi-year contract. The Rangers would prefer just a one-year deal, possibly with an option.

The status of Sheets' right elbow could prevent the Texas Rangers from signing the free-agent All-Star pitcher to an incentive-laden contract, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Sheets threw twice at Rangers Ballpark last week. However, it's unclear if an offer was made for the right-hander, who was 13-9 with a 3.09 ERA in 31 starts last season for the Brewers, and was the NL starter in the All-Star game. The Rangers have examined Sheets’ medical reports, but sources said the club wants the most recent information on his torn flexor tendon - an injury that didn't require surgery, but still might affect Texas' ultimate decision.

The Yankees would not need him to be an "ace" as they already added CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett, making Sheets a low risk option, especially if he would accept a one-year deal.

Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman reports that a number of teams have begun to express interest in free-agent pitcher Ben Sheets ever since the right-hander provided teams with an updated medical history. The Texas Rangers held talks with Sheets on Thursday, with the Brewers and Mets reportedly throwing themselves into the mix as well.There's no doubt Sheets is one of the most potent starting pitchers in the NL...when healthy. But his problem has been staying out on the mound long enough to display his talent. He hasn't pitched more than 200 innings in four seasons primarily because of a variety of injuries.

News: Free agent right-hander Ben Sheets met again this week with the Rangers, the team that plays not far from his Dallas home. "It was part of doing our due diligence," Rangers GM Jon Daniels said Friday. "Just continued dialogue, really." Sheets also met with Daniels at the winter meetings last month. This time, there was a dinner Wednesday night that included team owner Tom Hicks, team president Nolan Ryan, manager Ron Washington and new pitching coach Mike Maddux, who was with Sheets in Milwaukee the past six seasons. Daniels described the meeting as "positive," but wouldn't say whether the Rangers have made a formal offer to Sheets. "I wouldn't say we're in any different position today than we were before that," Daniels said. "We're ready to go to camp with the group we've got. We're still looking at some external possibilities, and it's a poorly kept secret that he's on that list." [...]

MetsBlog.com reports that the Mets would like to offer Ben Sheets an incentive-heavy deal similar to that of Brad Penny's Red Sox deal. They also suggest Sheets is looking for a two-year, $18 million deal with a third-year option. Apparently, the two sides are not close on any terms.Sheets would have surely been awarded more money for 2009 had he accepted arbitration from the Brewers, and he may still get more. However, the market is rather cold at this point and Sheets may have to settle for less.

Re-signing Oliver Perez is the Mets' top remaining goal now for addressing their starting pitching. Still, the longer Sheets, Andy Pettitte, Randy Wolf and others on the free-agent market, the more alternatives the Mets have should talks on Perez hit a snag. Sheets is arguably the most prominent free-agent starter left now that Derek Lowe signed with Atlanta, but his history of injuries has held down teams' interest pretty much all offseason.

Sheets should have been one of the top free-agent pitchers this offseason after going 13-9 with a 3.09 ERA in 31 starts and 198 1/3 innings for the Brewers in 2008. But he closed out the season with a flexor tendon tear in his right elbow and did not pitch in the playoffs. That was the latest in a series of injuries. Sheets has been on the disabled list five times in the past four years, and has averaged 150 innings per season during that stretch while going 41-30 with a 3.45 ERA. "We still want to upgrade our pitching," Daniels said after a Town Hall-style meeting with fans on Tuesday night. "Beyond that, I don't want to speculate. It's safe to say he's a person of interest."
