The Denver Post reported on Thursday that the Rockies are seriously looking into signing free agent slugger Lance Berkman, a player that was not given an extension by the Yankees. Berkman played in New York for half of the 2010 season.

The Post reports that no signing is guaranteed, but that Berkman is “strongly considering” signing with the Rockies. Berkman has also received interest from the Cardinals, Blue Jays and Athletics. The contract is reported to be a one-year deal.

ESPN’s Buster Olney said via Twitter that the Athletics appear very enthusiastic about targeting Berkman as well.

Berkman told the Post that Colorado is a place that “I would definitely have interest in.” Berkman batted .248 with 14 home runs and 58 RBIs in 122 games with the Astros and the Yankees.
