AP Grady Sizemore has been linked to a few teams this offseason, but it sounds like he has no plans to sign until he’s recovered from September knee surgery and … well, given his history that might be a while.
Agent Joe Urbon told Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com that “midseason is more likely” for Sizemore to choose a new team, although he didn’t rule out signing before Opening Day.
Last winter Sizemore re-signed with the Indians for one-year and $5 million, but never played and now feels he tried to come back too soon. And obviously at this point it’s hard to imagine any team offering Sizemore more than a minor-league contract, which no doubt plays a part in his lack of interest in signing now.
Whatever the case, this is another in a long line of depression updates about Sizemore, who’s missed 382 of the past 486 games while hitting .220 with a .659 OPS. He’s still just 30 years old, but hasn’t been fully healthy since 2007.

I think the Twin’s should steer clear of Sizemore. If we’re truly “rebuilding without rebuilding” in 2013, the last thing we need is another veteran re-tread. Let the kids play!

This just in: Grady Sizemore also unlikely to sign after midseason.

In all my years as a baseball fan, I have NEVER seen a position player miss so much time due to injuries. The guy simply can NOT stay on the field and it’s really strange.

He’ll wait until midseason to sign the Red Sox offer of 3 years, 39 million.

Didn’t miss a game for a number of years. Then the wheels just fell off.
