Free agent Pat Burrell is being courted by at least three teams, including the Mariners, Angels and Giants, according to several published reports on Wednesday.

Burrell, who was not offered arbitration by the Phillies, is seeking a multi-year deal worth more than the $14 million he was paid last season.

Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has said numerous times that he would like to see Burrell return to the club next season, but not at anything above $14 million.

The Angels appear to be looking at Burrell as a possible replacement for free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira.
