Baseball Free Agency

Robert Siegel speak with sportswriter Stefan Fatsis, who brings us up to date on the free agent market in baseball. Winter meetings began today with the biggest available free agent, shortstop Alex Rodriguez, still shopping himself around to major league teams. He's expected to eventually sign for a package which will make him the highest paid player in baseball. Though there have been several high profile, big dollar signings, looming ahead is the end of the current player's contract and what some suspect will be a long labor stoppage for baseball as owners try to stem the growth in player salaries.
