UPDATE 01-11-08 11:10 AM - Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle says that you can add the A's to the list of contenders for Mike Cameron. Since trading Nick Swisher to the White Sox, Oakland is looking for an outfielder in the free agent market. She reports that they have serious interest and have had several meetings with Cameron's agent.
What do you all think about the outfield situation?

The stiffest competition for Mike Cameron will be from the New York Yankees, Tim Dierkes from MLB Trade Rumors says. If the Yankees trade Melky Cabrera this offseason, they will need someone to play center-field. It is widely reported that they do not want to stick Johnny Damon back out in the field. This is probably because he has one of the worst throwing arms I've ever seen from an MLB starting CF.
Another interesting aspect about the Yankees in this race is that A-Rod has been privately endorsing Cameron for many weeks now. We don't know how much influence A-Rod has in influencing the Steinbrenners' decision making, but it certainly cannot hurt Cameron's chances from going to New York.
