Free-agent pitcher Brandon Webb is likely to pick a team within the next couple of days, a source told FanHouse.

Multiple teams remain in the mix for the former Diamondbacks ace, among them the Nationals, Rangers and Cubs.

Webb, 31, has not pitched in the majors since Opening Day 2009, so any deal would likely be incentive-laden. He underwent shoulder surgery in August 2009 and was able to return to the mound for a brief stint in the instructional league this year.

Prior to his injury, Webb was one of the more dominant pitchers in the National League. In six full seasons with Arizona, his ERA never topped 3.59, and he won the Cy Young Award in 2006 before finishing as the runner-up the next two years.
