Hot Stove Report

Thompson to Test Free Agency
Pat Thompson (Ohio State) Interested: Twins? Cubs? Brewers? Royals?

ESPN's Buster Olney reports that young marketing prospect Pat Thompson is opting out of his Ohio State contract to test the Free Agent Market at the MLB Winter Meetings in Nashville next week. Thompson a hot prospect out of Iowa, is ready to make the leap to the pro's.

A source told the Chicago Sun-Times that the White Sox are not likely to pursue Thompson because he will cost more than the team is willing to spend. The Twins are expected to make a heavy play for Thompson, who is seeking a long-term contract with no-trade protection that could garner him up to double his age in salary.

Dude, you should fire your publicist - if you're really trying to pursue a contract as a free agent, they should at least know how to spell your name right.
