Cafardo Rumors: Wigginton, Ibanez, Rodney

A few rumors we missed from Nick Cafardo's Sunday column...

• The Indians would want a young closer type in return for catcher Kelly Shoppach.
• The Tribe has Houston's Ty Wigginton on the radar as a third base possibility.  But then who would play third for the Astros?
• The Yankees have been calling around aggressively, even inquiring on Roy Oswalt and Lance Berkman.  They're not available.
• The Mets are said to be eyeing Raul Ibanez for left field.
• The Tigers are dangling setup man Fernando Rodney, hoping to acquire a better closer.  Jon Paul Morosi believes the Tigers might aim for a reliever they control for a year or two, as their in-house options should be ready by 2010.
• A conflict might arise with the Angels hoping to sign Mark Teixeira quickly while Scott Boras plans to let the market develop.
