Rosenthal's Latest: Figgins, Helms, Affeldt

Ken Rosenthal has a new column up.

• The Angels are telling teams they will only consider trading Chone Figgins if they find a third baseman.  If Figgins does hit the market, figure on the Cubs getting involved.
• The Marlins offered Scott Nestor to the Phillies for Wes Helms, if the Phils paid $1.8MM of the $2.9MM owed to the third baseman.  The Phils passed. 
• Jeremy Affeldt already has a four-year offer in hand, so he's now looking for five years.  Jeez.  Teams known to be in on Affeldt: the Yankees, Rays, and Astros.  Affeldt's agent has contacted the Mariners, trying to sell him as a starter.  He grew up in Washington state.
• The Mets like the Pirates' Damaso Marte, if the Pirates lessen their demands. The Yankees, Phillies, Braves, and Astros are interested as well.
