No concrete offers yet for Fuentes
The Yankees and Tampa Bay have scouts in town for the Dodgers series, wanting to get another look at left-handed closer Brian Fuentes. During the weekend, Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, Arizona and the Angels all had scouts checking out Fuentes. So far, no concrete offers have been made. There were online reports of a Rockies-Phillies deal that would have sent Fuentes and left fielder Matt Holliday to the Phillies that fell through; however, sources close to both teams say that while the Phillies have interest in both players no offer was made by either team.

A couple of weeks ago, I was all for getting Fuentes outta town. Now, I'm not too sure. He seems to have found his game, and he has been pitching as good as ever. I wouldn't be disappointed if they trade him, so long as he nets good value, or at least as good as a rent-a-lefty possibly can.

He's a keeper. I'm not sure why the Rockies are set to trade him. If you can get a boatload, sure. But GOOD lefty relievers aren't that easy to find.

Agreed. Just look at the difficulty St Louis has had in getting LH relief pitching.

The reason he is being shopped is that they won't be able to sign him in the offseason. Everybody knows that this is his last year in CO, whether it ends in July or December. The Rox have Manny Corpas signed for 6 years to be the closer of the future, Fuentes wants to close, and he will want $5-6 mil a year. The reason they're not trying all that hard is that they will get 2 compensatory picks if and when he signs somewhere else in the offseason.

The Cards just need to go get this guy if they want to salvage the season. The bullpen has the Cards in trouble.
