Rosenthal On Kurt Suzuki, Heath Bell, Dusty Baker

A look at the latest from Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports...

• Rosenthal explains why we shouldn't expect the A's to make catcher Kurt Suzuki available in trade.  He suggests that if Suzuki did become available, the demand to acquire three-plus years of his services would exceed Cleveland's return last summer for Victor Martinez.  Suzuki hasn't had extension talks with the A's, though John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle tweeted that he's open to the idea.
• Although the Twins explored trades for closers after Joe Nathan went down, they "never had a formal discussion with the Padres about Heath Bell."  He may not be a big strikeout guy, but Jon Rauch has done a solid job so far in saving six out of seven.
• Rosenthal says Dusty Baker asked the Reds about a contract extension, but "evidently the team is not yet ready to decide upon his future."
