Rosenthal's Latest: Ibanez, Ohman, Fuentes

The latest from rumor guru Ken Rosenthal:

• The Mariners are not having much luck stirring interest in Jarrod Washburn and Raul Ibanez.  Only the Mets are seriously looking at Ibanez, and they don't like the price.  The D'Backs aren't interested.  Exacerbating the situation is that interim GM Lee Pelekoudas may feel compelled to make a good impression on the higher-ups.
• The Braves chose Casey Kotchman and Stephen Marek over an offer of Chad Tracy and Micah Owings from the D'Backs.  I'm surprised the Diamondbacks didn't go a little further.  The Braves tried to expand the deal and send Will Ohman to the Angels, but a match could not be found.  Ohman remains likely to go, with the Rays, Cardinals, and Red Sox named as suitors.
• Rosenthal notes that the Angels have a ton of offseason decisions to make, with club options and free agents all over the place.
• The Rockies might be slightly more willing to trade Brian Fuentes following recent losses.  However, they still want a young starting pitcher for him.
