CubbiesCrib.com 기사에서는 작년 밀튼 브레들리 경우처럼, 컵스와 레이스가 경쟁하고 있다고 전했다. 또한, 박찬호를 경기 후반에 기용하는 구원투수 보다는, 경기 중반에 투입하거나 임시 선발로서 더 활용가치가 있다고 보고 있다.

Cubs Going After Chan-Ho Park, Posted by: jordanc

Last year, the Cubs and Rays went head to head in a bidding war for the services of Milton Bradley. As we all know the Cubs won the War, but in the end the Rays were the ones laughing. But to make this all relevant, the Cubs and Rays are once again locked into another bidding war, this time it is for 36 year old reliever Chan Ho Park. *Note, the bidding will not be as high as the Milton Bradley one was last year.

Park, who was a member of the national league champion Phillies last year, struggled as a starter as he posted a 7.23 ERA last year as a Starter at first, but then he was moved to the bullpen and had a much better 2.52 ERA.

Park, though really is not the late inning reliever that the Cubs would prefer, but he would provide versatility for the Cubs as he could be a middle reliever, as well as a spot starter for the Cubs.

Park could be the Cubs top choice via free agency, as they have already downplayed their Interest in Kiko Calero.

MSNBC 사이트에 올라온 기사도 역시 컵스와 레이스가 박찬호에 관심 갖고 있다고 전하고 있다. 

Cubs, Rays among teams eyeing Chan Ho Park  Jan. 25, 2010 - 9:55 PM ET

SI.com's Jon Heyman reports that the Rays and Cubs are among the teams eyeing free agent reliever Chan Ho Park.

Park scoffed at a one-year, $3 million contract offer from the Phillies in early December. He's still hoping to find a deal that is lengthier and contains a higher annual salary. The 36-year-old righty had an ugly 7.29 ERA over seven starts in 2009, but he compiled a 2.52 ERA in 38 relief appearances.

박찬호선수가 2010 시즌 어느 팀에서 뛰게 될 지 조만간 결정되었으면 한다.
