Pitchers Wanted
Here are three potential free-agent pitchers the club should seriously consider:
Max Scherzer (Tigers): The 2013 AL Cy Young Award winner is 69-24 over the past four seasons, and is only 30.
James Shields (Royals): He'll be 33 before next season, but he's had four winning seasons in a row.
Jon Lester (A's): After a dismal 2012 (9-14, 4.82 ERA), the lefthander has rebounded with two impressive seasons.
