Free-agent shortstop Rafael Furcal is close to selecting a team as he begins comparing the offers he has received.
"Before Monday or Tuesday, we'll have it down to at least two teams," Furcal's agent Paul Kinzer said Wednesday.
Oakland and San Francisco have been two of Furcal's most ardent suitors, and Kinzer said that two other teams remain in consideration.

WFAN in New York erroneously reported earlier on Monday that the Giants signed Edgar Renteria to a two-year, $18 million contract. Giants' officials tell the San Jose Mercury News that the report is false, and Renteria?s agent also denied it to ESPN?s Jerry Crasnick.
That doesn?t mean the two sides aren?t close to an agreement, though. The Giants consider Renteria a fallback option to Rafael Furcal, who wants a four-year deal.

The Giants and Athletics are reportedly leading the race to sign free-agent shortstop Rafael Furcal this offseason.
The Dodgers would like to retain Furcal, but the shortstop wants a four-year deal, something Los Angeles might be reluctant to give him.
"It's moving pretty fast," Dodgers' General Manager Ned Colletti said on Friday. "I don't know if we're going to be in it or not."
