Cafardo's Latest: Jenks, Teahen, Wood, Mulder

Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe has some rumors from around the league. Let's sift through them.

• The Dodgers, Brewers, and Phillies remain interested in Mark Mulder who is finishing his rehab and hopes to entertain offers in a week.
• Cafardo speculates if former Royals GM Allard Baird will deliver Mark Teahen, a former player of his, to the Red Sox. Baird is currently assistant to the GM in Boston.
• The Mets might be able to add about $5 to $6MM in payroll before the deadline.
• Brandon Wood would have to be a part of the package for Roy Halladay if the Angels were to make a serious push.
• There's a "good chance" Kenny Williams is looking into Halladay, says Cafardo. He wonders if Williams, who now has back-of-the-bullpen depth, would trade Bobby Jenks to shave payroll.
• The Red Sox are confident with the pieces they have, even if obtaining Halladay might guarantee them a championship. Regardless, the Jays "would likely not want to deal Halladay within the division," says Cafardo.
