Report: Los Angeles Dodgers make Roy Oswalt an offer

The Los Angeles Dodgers have made free-agent pitcher Roy Oswalt a contract offer, Yahoo's Tim Brown reports on Twitter.

As Brown reports, the Texas Rangers remain Oswalt's ideal landing spot. The Philadelphia Phillies and Boston Red Sox are also among the rumored destinations for Oswalt, who has set a goal of returning to the mound by June 15.

On Saturday, Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported that the Dodgers had been turned off by Oswalt's $7.5 million asking price. In fact, multiple teams cooled their interest because of what they felt were Oswalt's inflated contract demands.

CBS’ Jon Heyman reported on Saturday that a surprise team like the Baltimore Orioles could swoop in if the price is right. Heyman then reported on Sunday, via Twitter, that the Dodgers had inquired about Oswalt, but did not figure to be in the mix.

During the winter, Oswalt declined a reported $10 million offer from the Detroit Tigers and said he would wait until the season started to sign. But the June 15 target date is fast approaching.
