BP: Soto & Others for Heath Bell?

[CardsFanInChiTown]

Saw this on BP's "Rumors and Rumblings":

 

The Cubs have interest in Padres closer Heath Bell, and they are at work preparing a trade package centered on catcher Geovany Soto

The Cubs are run by [expletive] morons.

From Bruce's blog yesterday:

 

As far as late rumors go, Cubs GM Jim Hendry laughed off a Chicago-based rumor that had the Cubs interested in Padres closer Heath Bell, with possible trade bait being catcher Geovany Soto or shortstop Ryan Theriot. As I blogged this morning, the Cubs like Bell, but he's not on their radar at all because he'll have a big raise coming this fall, as he's arbitration-eligible.

Yeah, go ahead and lock this thread.

[Derwood]

[CardsFanInChiTown]

Hah, yeah move and lock.

[Tyrant]

No way that ever happens.

Never happen. Unless Geo is refusing to stop eating.
