Mark Mulder (Free Agent):
Mulder will be in Cincinnati this week to work with his former coach from Michigan State, putting the finishing touches on his rehab from major shoulder surgery. He’s worked out his arm slot and now has to perfect his stride. “I’m hoping that by the last week of July we can start entertaining offers,’’ said his agent, Gregg Clifton. “It doesn’t appear he’s going to need much time in the minors because he’s been throwing all along.’’ The Dodgers, Brewers, and Phillies have remained interested.
