Last week, Crawford's agent, Brian Peters, said they were still looking forward to working on a long-term contract, and Rays executive vice president Andrew Friedman said that both sides were "very interested" when the club picked up Crawford's $10 million option Monday, Nov. 9. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carl_Crawford/640965 640965 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:52:02 EDT kffl.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carl_Crawford/640965 The St. Petersburg Times states that a report from NY Baseball Digest which indicates that Carl Crawford The St. Petersburg Times states that a report from NY Baseball Digest which indicates that Carl Crawford wants out of Tampa, is likely false.

A report surfaced earlier this week in NY Baseball Digest that Crawford was upset that the team picked up his 2010 option.

Our View: The story in the Times states that Crawford would like to work out an extension with the team, but if not he is just fine going into next season with the Rays. The team could still look to deal him, but it seems like he is a great candidate for a long-term deal. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carl_Crawford/639601 639601 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:36:01 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carl_Crawford/639601 Carl Crawford is reportedly "livid" the Rays picked up his $10 million option on his original Carl Crawford is reportedly "livid" the Rays picked up his $10 million option on his original four-year deal signed in 2005 and wants out of Tampa Bay.

Our View: There's an outside chance the team could trade him this offseason to clear payroll space, but that seems unlikely, particularly after they dealt Scott Kazmir late last season. Crawford's 60 steals in 2009 were second in the American League to only Jacoby Ellsbury's 70. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carl_Crawford/630297 630297 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:56:02 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carl_Crawford/630297
