Two Things
1) The Indians appear set to sign Kerry Wood to a two-year deal worth ~$20m, possibly with a 2011 option. All he has to do at this point is pass a physical. The Indians were never going to be players for JJ, but by taking a closer off the market, they've put pressure on teams like Milwaukee, St. Louis, and especially Detroit to get one of their own before it's too late. Expect Zduriencik's conversations about JJ to get a lot more interesting.
2) With Ben Sheets having one foot out the door and CC Sabathia officially out of the picture, the Brewers need rotation help, and they're going to explore their options. The Mariners, meanwhile, currently have more starters than they can use. Jarrod Washburn's name may come up, but the real dark horse here is Erik Bedard - the Brewers tried to get Bedard for JJ Hardy last July, and while Bedard's stock has dropped since what with the surgery and all, it's possible Doug Melvin may come calling again. I don't think Bedard's going to get dealt, nor do I think that now would necessarily be the right time to try and do so in the first place, but that's just something to keep an eye on. Where there's a possible solution to an obvious need, there tends to be a phone call or two.

Mariners closer J.J. Putz remains a popular trade target.
The Tigers are interested in Putz and the Cardinals have offered center fielder Rick Ankiel and a prospect, according to a rival general manager.

Hardy or Rickie Weeks "in the right deal.” " and nothing that actually linked the two players and/or teams as a trade possibility.

Rick Ankiel
One of the things that interests me about St. Louis and JJ rumors is the possibility of adding Rick Ankiel— I know he’s a free agent after next season, but that might be enough time for us to get some of our outfield prospects up to speed.
It would be nice if we could get him and some other high-level prospect.

Of course it would be nice
because it’s asking way too much. Pretty much a pointless trade for both teams.

Really?
The Cards, obsessed with roles (read Three Nights in August) would get a great closer, and we would fill an outfield void for next year. I have no idea how the Cards are stacked for outfield depth, but there is a need on both sides.

I don't understand it either
I know we have outfielders coming out the ass in St. Louis, but which one of them are going to come up and be ready now? Duncan is a bust either way you look at it, Rasmus would need the better half of this year to be fully prepared after being injured most of last season. This leaves the Cards with Ludwick, Schumaker and Mather if they trade away Ankiel, which doesn’t sit well with me

Presumably for one of our AA/AAA catchers. That’s not a horrible thought.
by MacMariner2 on Dec 10, 2008 2:52 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
If the catcher the Marlins want isn't Clement, then hell yes I do that deal.
Marcel has him pegged for a .788 OPS, and Bill James has him down for .822…not to mention UZR had him at only 3, and +/ has him at +7 from 2006-2008, so it’s possible he’s at least an average fielder. I’d swap Moore or Johnson for him…maybe even throw in a lesser prospect, like a relief arm. Maybe give them Gaby Hernandez back or something.

Alright Stoneman's replacement GO GO GO
UPDATED 6:51 p.m. — Latest on Fuentes
Free-agent left-hander Brian Fuentes appears headed for a three-year, $33 million contract, major-league sources say, but the question is which club will give it to him.
The Cardinals might rather trade for the Mariners’ more inexpensive J.J. Putz, and the Brewers and Tigers also would figure to pass on that large of an investment in a closer.
J.J. Putz is a hot topic at winter meetings. (Otto Greule Jr / Getty Images)
That would leave the Angels, who likely would draw criticism if they paid Fuentes, 33, only $4 million less than the Mets awarded Francisco Rodriguez, 26, over three years.
Fuentes is less accomplished than Rodriguez, and the Angels would forfeit a first-round draft pick if they signed him. They could have kept Rodriguez without losing the pick.
Then again, Angels manager Mike Scioscia has always liked Fuentes, and the Angels tried to acquire him from the Rockies at the July 31 non-waiver deadline.
As for Putz, the Tigers and Cardinals want him in part because of his affordability. Putz will earn $5.5 million next season with a $9.1 million club option for 2010 that could increase to a maximum of $9.6 million if he meets all of his appearance-based incentives.

8:46 p.m. — Mets trying to land M’s Putz
The Mets are working to acquire a setup man for new closer Francisco Rodriguez — and that setup man would be another closer from the American League West.
J.J. Putz could be headed to the Mets in a three-team trade with the Mariners and Indians, according to major-league sources.
Mets right-hander Aaron Heilman, outfielder Endy Chavez and first-base prospect Mike Carp would be in the deal, as would Indians outfielder Franklin Gutierrez.
It is not yet clear which players are headed where.
