Odds & Ends: Cardinals, Abreu, Mets, Edmonds

A few assorted links, as the trading finally picks up...

• After missing out on Roy Oswalt, the Cardinals are looking elsewhere for pitching, writes Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Mid-level starters like Jake Westbrook or Aaron Cook could be fits for the Cards.  The asking price for Cook, says Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, is a bullpen piece and a prospect. 
• The Angels don't appear to have made Bobby Abreu available, according to ESPN.com's Buster Olney (via Twitter).
• The Mets finalized their over-slot deal with Erik Goeddel, according to Jim Callis of Baseball America (on Twitter). They agreed to give the 21-year-old righty a $350K bonus.  MLBTR first reported an agreement had been reached on July 4th.
