Free agents want money and...

By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer After months of talking about becoming a free agent, Darryl Strawberry finally is one. And so are Kirk Gibson, Dave Righetti and Vince Coleman. The four were among 18 players filing for free agency Monday, raising the total to 21 in the first two days following the World Series. STRAWBERRY GREW up in Los Angeles and has said repeatedly that his first choice is to sign with the Dodgers. He has spent his entire career in New York and the Mets in July offered a three-year contract worth more than $9 million. Strawberry and his agent, Eric Goldschmidt, rejected that offer and said they want a five-year deal that would approximate Jose Canseco’s $23.5 million contract with Oakland. Free agents NEW YORK (AP) The 21 players who have filed for free agency with the Major League Baseball Player’s Association.

Davis won’t need surgery to repair kidney OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Cincinnati Reds outfielder Eric Davis, injured in the final game of the World Series, suffered a more serious kidney injury than originally thought but will not require surgery. Davis was in stable condition Monday in the intensive care ward of Merritt Hospital, in Oakland, said Dr. Robert Smith, who examined Davis. Davis’ injury was initially reported as a severely bruised kidney, but a written statement issued by the Reds on Monday said the outfielder also suffered a kidney laceration. “There’s no need for a transfusion, and that’s the important thing,” Smith said by tele-

Vincent backs Giants’ move

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) Baseball commissioner Fay Vincent tossed his support behind a plan to take the San Francisco Giants south, calling a move to Silicon Valley the best solution to the “dire” situation created by San Francisco voters. Vincent, who announced his support on Monday, said the “Santa Clara Giants” had a certain ring to it and would provide a “ready-made franchise” for the Silicon Valley.

DARRYL STRAWBERRY Will listen to Mets

“We haven’t ruled out anything, any option,” Goldschmidt said. “We’re going to listen, hear what people have to say. Darryl’s going to listen. He’s going to make the decision depending on all the factors.” STRAWBERRY, WHO earned the Mets in June as they got back into the National League East race, batted .277 this season with 37 homers and a club-record 108 RBIs. He made $l.B million. He may be the premier name among the approximately 95 players eligible to file by Nov. 4. Players may talk with other teams after they file, but may not discuss contract specifics with other clubs until Nov. 5. “I don’t know what the Mets’ position is,” Goldschmidt said.

“It has a certain cadence,” Vincent said of the name that makes skin crawl in San Francisco, where the Giants have played for 33 years. “If you get the vote, it will be a big-league name. I guarantee it” During comments in San Jose, Vincent said the move was the best option left when San Francisco voters last fall narrowly defeated a measure to build a new ballpark in the city.

KIRK GIBSON Motown bound?

Al Harazin, Mets senior vice president, said, “It’s possible we will talk in the next two weeks, but it’s also possible we might not talk until this period is over and they determine what teams are interested and how they want to proceed on taking offers.” GIBSON, THE STAR of the 1988 World Series with his dramatic game-winning homer off Dennis Eckersley in the opener, has been injured much of the last two years and said during the season he would prefer to leave Los Angeles and go home to Detroit. “Don’t read anything into this,” his agent, Doug Baldwin, said. “We’re not trying to send any message. He’s just not going to be around the next few weeks and we wanted to get this out of the way.”

Cincinnati singin’ in the rain about Reds

CINCINNATI (AP) World Series MVP Jose Rijo had a simple message for the thousands of rainsoaked fans who jammed Fountain Square to pay tribute to the Cincinnati Reds. “I love you all,” Rijo, who won two of the four games in the Reds’ sweep of the Oakland Athletics, told the crowd Monday. ROB DIBBLE, WHO traded taunts with Oakland’s Dave Stewart after Game 4, took the opportunity to needle the A’s. “We are the best,” Dibble said. The crowd roared. Despite a steady rain, police estimated that 12,000 to 15,000 were at Fountain Square to welcome the Reds, who arrived in open convertibles. More people lined the fiveblock parade route. “I don’t care how wet it is, it’s a

DAVE REGHETTI May leave Yankees

Gibson batted .260 in 1990 with eight home runs and 38 RBIs, completing the final season of a three-year deal worth $4.5 million. RIGHETTI, WHO FINISHED a three-year, $4.3 million contract, sent his telegram to the players association two minutes after midnight on Sunday, five minutes faster than he filed two years ago. “We did that for emphasis,” said Bill Goodstein, the agent for the New York Yankees reliever. No matter. The telegram got to the union office on Monday, a day after outfielder Rob Deer of Milwaukee and pitchers Joe Price of Baltimore and Jeff Robinson of the Yankees filed by telephone. RIGHETTI, WHO HAD 36 saves in 1990, wants a five-year deal.

beautiful day,” said Edith Staub, who had neither umbrella nor slicker. “It’s exciting. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.” CHRIS NEELEY, another of the drenched faithful, said this year’s celebration seemed bigger than the last time the Reds won the World Series twice in the mid--1970s “I was here in ’75 and ’76, and I didn’t see anything like this,” Neeley said. “This is wild.” School-age children skipped classes as they do on Opening Day in Cincinnati and downtown office workers took extended lunch breaks. Some painted their faces or carried signs congratulating the Reds. OWNER MARGE SCHOTT thanked them all.
