Rosenthal's Latest: Padilla, Manny, Beltre, Dunn

Rumor man Ken Rosenthal has a new column up.

  • At least three teams have inquired on the Rangers' Vicente Padilla: the Mets, Yankees, and Brewers.  Jon Daniels is looking for "quality young pitching."
  • Manny Ramirez's $20MM option for '09 isn't a lock.  It's a tough call - .900 OPS players on one-year deals don't grow on trees.
  • Rosenthal suggests David DeJesus or Melky Cabrera would be nice fits for the Diamondbacks, who aren't looking for a rental.  He also speculates on names like Brian Giles, David Dellucci, and Randy Winn.  Note: Rosenthal is playing GM here, not relaying inside info of trade talks.
  • Rosenthal believes Matt Stairs would be a nice addition for the Dodgers, and notes that the Dodgers and Blue Jays have spoken.  The Jays' direction for '08 is still uncertain though.
  • Still sounds like it'd take a "knockout offer" to pry Rich Harden loose from the A's.
  • The A's are said to like Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre.  He can block trades to eight unknown clubs though.
  • Adam Dunn isn't generating much trade interest yet.
  • KC's Ron Mahay is "drawing significant interest."  The trade market for lefty relievers is fairly robust.
