Rosenthal's Latest: A-Rod, Glaus, Cordero

Ken Rosenthal's work is a must for any rumor junkie.  Here are some highlights from his latest column.

• Rosenthal gives his take on possible A-Rod destinations, discussing the Mets, Tigers, and Dodgers in depth.  He tosses out an idea I hadn't seen before - moving David Wright to left field and declining Moises Alou's option.  MetsBlog discusses Scott Boras' sales pitch to the Mets. 
• The Cards want to hire Chris Antonetti, but the Indians don't want to let him go.  Rosenthal says they may have to pay him GM money and/or promise him the post in the future.
• Rosenthal has a new I hadn't mentioned for the Yankees' third base vacancy, though I believe several commenters did.  That name is Troy Glaus, about whom the Yanks inquired last summer.  There are complications aplenty with Glaus: foot problems, $12.75MM owed to him in '08 and an $11.25MM player option for '09, a full no-trade clause, and a steroid connection.  Sounds like Jason Giambi Part II.
• Francisco Cordero would be priced out of the Brewers' range if he demands a four or five year deal worth $9-11MM annually.  I assume he will, though the Brewers could afford it.
