Olivera is one of the hottest names in the Cuban market and it looks as if the Dodgers are being the most aggressive when it comes to acquiring the second basemen.

Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reported that numerous teams were offering Olivera contracts in the four to six year range. The teams interested in Olivera listed were the Dodgers, Braves, Marlins, Padres, A’s, and Giants.

The Marlins are reportedly extremely high on the Cuban star but they may not be able to open their check books deep enough to get him.

Hector Olivera has a long story to get this point in his career Sanchez tweeted a short film on him. Check it out below.
