Rosenthal's Latest: Santana, Cabrera, Kuroda, Edmonds, Rolen

By Tim Dierkes [December 12, 2007 at 8:51am CST]

Ken Rosenthal checks in with the latest hot stove buzz around baseball.

Johan Santana is Boston's only target - they're not after Dan Haren or any other starter. The talks keep slugging along. For what it's worth, Curt Schilling expects the Red Sox to get him.

36 year-old first baseman Alex Cabrera is a sleeper power threat among free agents. The former Rockie, Cub, and Diamondback has been mashing in Japan since 2001. The Nationals don't have any room for him but want him anyway. Rosenthal says A.L. clubs are looking at him as a DH candidate, also. Cabrera hit .295/.377/.512 with 27 HR in 441 ABs in Japan in 2007.

Hiroki Kuroda has not reached an agreement with any team, according to Rosenthal.

The Padres are still considering Jim Edmonds as a center field candidate.

Here's a new one: the Indians expressed interest in Scott Rolen. The talks have cooled however.

Rosenthal says the Astros don't think they will get Miguel Tejada. Instead they've moved on to...Ron Mahay and Jeremy Affeldt.

Is Edmonds even capable of playing CF at PETCO anymore?

I'm not sure he is capable of getting out of bed in the morning. He just opened a restaurant in St. Louis, it would be pretty funny if he got traded. Seriously though, PETCO would get him injured in 2 games. He would be diving all over that place.
