Hot item now is the Rockies willingness to trade reliever Fuentes. This should be done by All Star break. The Rockies have been awful so far this year.

This came from Yahoo Sports!

===============================

The Rockies will decide at the All-Star break whether or not to trade players such as Fuentes, according to the Rocky Mountain News.

Recommendation: The Red Sox, Yankees, Mets, Phillies, Rays, Cubs and Cardinals have interest in the lefty reliever. Of that group, the Cardinals have the most uncertainty at closer and several teams wouldn’t even consider Fuentes as a closer. Given the Rockies’ awful record, Fuentes should be prepared for a trade before July 31.

================

He is 1-4 as I write this with a 3.94 ERA. That is not real good stuff for a reliever. He has 13 saves for Colorado. Any deal is precipitated by who we give up to acquire a new piece.

Yes, he is left handed. I hope we can give next to nothing if the Cardinals are going to acquire Fuentes.
