DeShields Hasn’t Picked New Team

Delino DeShields’ agent said Wednesday that six teams have contacted him about the free-agent second baseman and that no decision on a contract will be made before next week.

Adam Katz said the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds have shown interest, and that reports that DeShields had agreed to a two-year deal with the Reds were inaccurate.

“We will talk with all the six teams next week and make a decision over the next couple of weeks,” Katz said. “By no stretch of the imagination is there a done deal.”

DeShields played the last three seasons with the Dodgers, batting .241 with 15 home runs and 111 runs batted in.
