Father: Erstad Likely To Sign With White Sox Or Marlins

Darin Erstad's days with the Los Angeles Angles may be numbered.

Erstad's father, Chuck, told Jamestown's KQDJ radio that Erstad is considering a free agent contract with the Marlins or the White Sox.

Erstad, 32, has played his entire 11-year career with the Angels, but saw limited action last season due to an ankle injury that required surgery. Erstad said he now feels well enough to play every day, but was told by the Angels that he likely would be used only part-time if he resigned with them.
