View More NewsNelson Cruz drawing interest from NL and AL clubs
Free agent Nelson Cruz has "ongoing interest from multiple teams" in the AL and NL, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network.
Fantasy Impact
Morosi also noted that fellow free agent Marcell Ozuna is drawing similar interest. It's unclear whether or not MLB will employ the universal DH once again and that explains why the market has been slow for players such as Cruz and Ozuna. Both players are coveted and talented enough to land gigs in either league but the universal DH would make things easier, particularly for Cruz who is entering his age 40 season.
