Rosenthal On Hudson, Pudge, Cabrera, Edmonds

Here's a look at the latest from Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

• Orlando Hudson would like to play for the Royals, but currently they cannot afford him even at a likely salary under $5MM.  They could free up most of the cash by releasing Mark Teahen, but Rosenthal's source says the Royals are "unwilling to make such a move."  Rany Jazayerli discusses the Royals-Hudson idea in this blog post.  The Dodgers are the only other known suitor, though the fit there is questionable in my opinion.
• The Mets aren't serious about signing Ivan Rodriguez, though they have discussed it.  The Mets already have $7.4MM committed to their current catching tandem.  Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post goes further, saying the Mets "aren't interested" in Rodriguez.
• Currently the A's are unwilling to meet Orlando Cabrera's asking price.  They are willing to sacrifice their second-round pick for him if they get their price.
• Jim Edmonds is "attracting virtually no interest."  Edmonds can still hit righties, so you'd think someone would make an offer.
