Free agent starter Ervin Santana is close to finding a home for 2014. CBS Sports Jon Heyman is reporting that Santana will sign a one-year deal, likely in the next two days with one of a trio of suitors, with the Toronto Blue Jays believed to be heavily involved. Heyman reports that the Blue Jays and Orioles are the "clear favourites" to land the right-hander, who is believed to be seeking a one-year pact in the neighbourhood of the $14 million qualifying offer he rejected from the Kansas City Royals earlier this off-season. Another team - believed to be the Colorado Rockies - is also in the mix. Santana waited the entire off-season in hopes of landing a multi-year deal but when one failed to emerge, he altered his stance. Earlier this week he changed representation and is believed to now be seeking a one-year deal. He is also reported to prefer signing with a "top hitting team". The Dominican hurlers value has been hampered by rejecting said qualifying offer. As a result of that decision, the team that signs Santana will have to offer draft pick compensation to the Royals. For most teams, that pick would be a first-rounder in this Junes MLB Draft. However, both the Blue Jays and Orioles would avoid said fate. The Blue Jays have two first round picks, but both are protected at ninth and 11th overall, respectively. Should the Jays sign Santana, the cost would be the forfeiture of their 50th overall pick. Baltimore, having already surrendered their 17th overall selection after signing Ubaldo Jimenez and their 55th overall pick by signing Nelson Cruz, would surrender the 91st overall pick were they to sign Santana. Santana posted a 9-10 record and logged 211 innings with the Royals last season and posted the lowest earned-run average (3.24) and second lowest WHIP (1.142) of his nine-year MLB career. He has posted a 105-90 career record averaging 7.1 strikeouts-per-nine innings in 268 total games with the Royals and Los Angeles Angels. Yohander Mendez Rangers Jersey .

The Catalans are unbeaten through six league matches, a streak they will hope to extend with a positive result at Rayo Vallecano on Saturday. Barcelona cruised to a resounding 6-0 victory over Granada in its last league outing. The Catalans have yet to concede a goal in league play, but it is the budding partnership between Neymar and Lionel Messi that is stealing the majority of the headlines. In football, you never know when things happen but due to his quality it is obvious that Neymar is going to be the best in the world, Messi said of his Brazilian teammate on Thursday. He is a great player and it is a pleasure to share a pitch with him. I have a great relationship with him and we get on well both on and off the pitch. Both players scored in Champions League action on Tuesday, but PSG managed to break the seal in Marc-Andre Ter Stegens net to get a 3-2 home victory at the Parc des Princes and hand Barcelona its first loss of the campaign. Now, the Catalans must regroup in time for a potentially stiff test against a Rayo Vallecano side that has taken eight points through six games, leaving the club in the top-half of the table. Perhaps the most intriguing maatch of the weekend will take place at the Mestalla on Saturday as Valencia will play host to Atletico Madrid.dddddddddddd The two clubs enter the weekend tied for second place on 14 points apiece, meaning that a win for either side would be enough to claim top spot should Barcelona suffer defeat at the Campo de Futbol de Vallecas.

Real Madrid had been flying in recent weeks while scoring goals for fun, but the club only managed to get a 2-1 win at Ludogorets in Champions League action on Wednesday with the winning goal coming from Karim Benzema in the final quarter of the match. The Galacticos will hope to return to top gear on Sunday when they host Athletic Bilbao at the Bernabeu. Sevilla comes into the weekend in fourth place on 13 points, and the club will look to build off of its dramatic point in Europa League play when it hosts Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday.
