The rumor going around baseball is that the free agent outfielder, Kosuke Fukudome, is looking for a deal for three-years worth around 30 million dollar. ESPN lists the Giants, Padres, Rangers, and Cubs as having interest in the outfielder. Though it says the Cubs have the most interest and will make a strong push for him. Fukudome can play either center field or right field which means he would be a great fit in right field for the Mets. Personally, I do not see him drawing much interest from the Mets right now because Lastings Milledge currently occupies right field. In Japan, he was put in the middle of the lineup as a power hitter. He can also hit number two in the order because he is a contact hitter. He is supposed to have a decent year in the MLB with around 20-30 homers and 80 RBI's but only having a .265 batting average. Fukudome will probably end up receiving more than he is asking price since teams think that he could bring a lot of power to their lineups
