It might not be the war that you think. Big spenders like the Yanks, Bosox already have closers. Who else is going/can afford to give him that type of money? The Dodgers, Tigers or if they flounder in the playoffs the Rays (I know a longshot, but it kind of makes sense with the young pitching on that team to have a guy like that to close). You have to think that it is going to come down to the Mets & Halo's.
