"Several baseball executives said Friday that they expect Jermaine Dye to sign with an American League club. That way, his at-bats could be spread among the maximum number of positions: left field, right field, designated hitter and perhaps first base.

But that begs the question: Which AL team?

As of Friday, it didn't appear that anyone had taken the lead in the pursuit for Dye. Perhaps teams will wait for Johnny Damon to sign before moving on Dye. That's how it happened with the second base market. Orlando Hudson signed with the Twins, then Adam Kennedy paired up with the Nationals."
