MLB in brief: Who wanted Framber Valdez? | Tyler Glasnow ignores rumors

Who wanted Framber Valdez?

The Padres, Blue Jays, Twins, and Orioles were in the mix.

For a pitcher with alleged flaws, Framber Valdez sure was popular. The Padres showed late interest. The Jays were in, and yes, so were the Twins. The Orioles stayed in. But the Tigers, whose manager AJ Hinch perhaps knew him best, showed they were most interested.
