Fuentes

[Banedon]

I figured this was at least worth bringing up for discussion.

 

The Rocky Mountain News reported that the Cubs are one of several teams interested in Colorado's left-handed closer Brian Fuentes.

 

But the article in the Rocky Mountain News really just lists the Cubs as part of a list of teams that may be interested...I don't see any hard info:

 

Fuentes: 1-2. The veteran reliever is more likely to be traded than not. If he walks as a free agent this winter, the Rocks get a pair of draft picks in compensation, so they have to do better than that to make a deal. It says here that some contender - maybe the Rays, Marlins, Mets, Phillies, Yankees or Cubs - will make it worth the Rocks' while.

I wouldn't mind going and getting Fuentes if he doesn't cost much and doesn't prohibit us from moving on a front-line starter.

I would like to see a Cook + Fuentes combo but it seems like the Rockies aren't interested in parting with Aaron Cook.
