Mark Buehrle was always a fan favorite in Chicago, but it's likely that Buehrle feels more popular than ever this offseason. With the durable lefty likely pricing himself out of the White Sox's range after a solid 2011, it seems like every team is after the services of the veteran.

Buehrle has been linked to his hometown Cardinals for years, and the Chicago Tribune's Phil Rodgers reported today that St. Louis remains a favorite for Buehrle:

Other serious Buehrle suitors include the Nationals, Marlins, and Rangers
