Padres Will “Absolutely” Trade Heath Bell?

By Mike Axisa | December 4, 2010 at 10:22am CDT

10.22am: Rosenthal now hears from another source that it's "highly unlikely" the Padres will move Bell (Twitter links). They could hold him to keep the fans happy, and because they might be able to fetch more at the trade deadline.

9:38am: Adrian Gonzalez might not be the only Padres star on his way out of San Diego. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports hears from a source that they will "absolutely" trade Heath Bell, who is likely to get a sizable raise from his $4MM salary in his last time through arbitration (Twitter link).

The free agent market includes Rafael Soriano and Bobby Jenks, but Bell could be an alternative for a team not wanting to commit multiple years to a reliever. Rosenthal speculates (on Twitter) that the White Sox, Angels, Rangers, Marlins, Cardinals, Blue Jays, and Rays could have interest in Bell, who owns a 10.4 K/9 and a 2.32 ERA as San Diego's closer over the last two seasons.

                First off, I’m not a White Sox fan. Secondly, a reliever, no matter how good he is, is worth a pitcher like Gavin Floyd. Nor is he worth a middle infielder with 20HR power like Gordon Beckham, even after his sophomore slump. If Hoyer asked for either of those players, KW would hang up the phone and with good reason. Now, I’m not anything close to an expert on ChiSox prospects, but the discussion would start with those guys, not two key pieces to a potentially contending team.

With AGon and Bell in our team, we can compete, and that has to be at least worth something, aside from the draft picks they would get, and I think Hoyer is happy with receiving a package just a tad better than draft picks.

      Marlins could really put up an amazing Pitching staff this year. If Stanton comes into his own and Hanely stays Hanely, Marlins can be very dangerous. They still need 1 or 2 good deals out there in the latter parts of the market.

            Once you watch Uggla attempt to field ground balls at Turner Field, then you can let us know if the Marlins got “fleeced”. Uggla is extremely one dimensional and as nice as it is to see him hit 30 homeruns, he strikes out a whole lot and leaves way too many runners stranded on base.

              I’ll be sure to tell you that as the Braves are wrapping up the NL East. The Marlins could have gotten an impact prospect for Uggla, instead they got a career utility man and one of our extra relievers, although Dunn’s stuff is amazing.

                I understand where you are coming from as far as the point you made about the impact prospect but the fish aren’t building the roster to win four years from now, they want to win NOW and especially contend in 2012 at the new ballpark. They wanted guys that were ready now, just look what happened when they traded Cabrera for a load of top rated prospects….nothing. At the end of the day, most prospects are just prospects.

              Marlins don’t loose any power basically because we will have Mike Stanton for a whole year and Bucks power production is way more that what john baker/ ronny paulino did for the team last year. I think the Marlins are going to be exciting to watch. Better defense/ better pitching. Sounds more like the Marlins that won the 03 world series.

    Have to think not only will he get traded in the winter meetings, but he’s likely to get traded before Soriano signs…Another team I’d like to throw in there, the A’s…They could use Bell as a set up man, or Bailey as the set up man. Never the less, he’d be a good fit there I think…

    Here’s what I’m thinking…

    A’s: Jemile Weeks and Tyson Ross
    Marlins: Marcell Ozuna and Tommy Koehler
    Cardinals: Eduardo Sanchez, Daniel Descalso, and D’Marcus Ingram
    Rays: Alex Cobb, Jairo De La Rosa, and Alex Colome
    Blue Jays: Drew Permison and Travis D’Arnaud

      I see the Marlins picking up Bell here. They have tried to acquire this guy for the last 3 years and nothing has happened. Throw in their new focus on revamping the bullpen and I think they should and would do what they can to get the guy. Besides, not sure if they would keep Nunez too but if they don’t he would be a great trade chip they can use to acquire a real CF.

Without getting Iglesias in the Gonzo deal, which was expected, the Padres really need to get a young SS back in the Bell deal. I am a Padre fan and I really am excited for 3 or 4 years down the road. Hoyer knows the Padres have to build through the draft and the minors and he really helped the club out today. Go Padres.

    Braves could get involved, they may not want to hand the closers job over to a rookie or 1 yr player just yet. So how bout a bigger deal Bell, Cabrera, Durango and Poreda for Alex Gonzalez, Steven Marek(AAA), Scott Diamond(AAA) and J.J. Hoover(AA)

      You do realize that the Padres are packed with pitching, right? And Diamond isn’t even really much of a prospect. Wren’s isn’t going to send prospects out for a rental arm, and with Kimbrel and Venters in-house, we aren’t extending Bell.

        Who cares about extending Bell it would give the Braves a veteran closer and allow Kimbrel and Venters to get more experience. I must be the only Braves fan who’s just not too comfortable with a rookie and a 1st year guy competing for the closer spot. Both guys also have control issues as well so I’d want a guy with experience closing out ball games right now.

          1. We can’t afford him, monetarily.
          2. JJ Hoover is likely the only player in that package that would carry much value in a trade
          3. Wren isn’t parting with his prospects.

          It’s not about what you want, it’s about realizing the path Wren has set this team on and applying it logically to potential moves. Trading for a rental reliever is not something Wren would do.

            1. The Braves could afford him, Bell would be getting a raise from 4 mil to about 6-7 mil the Braves still have about 3-4 mil left to spend plus trading Gonzo would add another 2.5 mil so they could afford him.
            2. Marek has value but not much since he’s strictly a BP arm but the Pads are not going to get as much as people are thinking. He’s in a contract year and will be making 6-7 mil, look at what the Braves got for Soriano last season and he was just as dominant as Bell was.
            3. He wouldn’t be trading his prized prospects more 2nd and 3rd tier guys i.e. Cofield for Linebrink.

            Wren just traded for a rental reliever. He also like experience and character, I doubt Wren will make a move for another BP arm but an experienced closer would be great though is all I’m saying.

              Hoover is nowhere close to a Kyle Cofield type. He’d be a top-5 prospect in a lot of team’s systems, but we’ve got arms like Teheran, Delgado, and Vizcaino in front of him on the lists.

                No but Diamond is but Hoover IS NOT a top tier prospect that’s why I said 2nd tier plus If Wren could get a Heath Bell and only have to give up Marek and Hoover I guarantee he’d do it in a heartbeat!

              Why would Braves trade Gonzalez? They have no one close enough to take over for him. And, Hernandez sucks horribly.

        Salary relief plus they were terrible at SS last season A-Gon would be good for them also Marek and Diamond would slide into their BP this season and Hoover would give them another 3rd/4th starter in another year.

      The only place the Padre should send Cabrera is to AAA, maybe even AA, to work on his game. When the Padres picked him in the Rule 5 draft he had never played above A. He had a little success his rookie year, but if they send him down and give him some time to figure things out I still think he will be all right. No need to rush him now. Build for 3-4 years down the road.

      Alex Gonzalez makes no sense considering the Padres obvious strategy. And Cabrera will play 2B before they give up on him.

    I know he’s a closer, but the yankees bullpen was so bad last year, that it might even make sense to get Bell to setup. I saw on mlbn it said they had something like 18 blown saves. Hows Joba for Bell? Too much?

        Hey I asked a question you should kill me now… Joba still has pretty good potential. If someone can figure out what happened to him and how to fix it, I promise you he will be a dominant pitcher. You don’t go from throwing 97-100 to 92-95 in a season. And you also don’t lose all control over a season for no reason either.

            You’re insane, his upside is a GREAT starter and lowpoint is whatever Cashman’s bullpen experiment is. I’ll agree that Joba is too little for Bell, but you can’t say that Joba’s value is gone, when just two years ago, he was considered a better prospect or equal to Phil Hughes.

    Hold on to Bell to make the fans happy? Saving games will make fans happy. Thing is, you have to have a lead in the late innings to get a save. Padre fans will not be happy either way.

    If your going to rebuild then don’t just get rid of the best player get rid of the second best, and this is coming from a Padres fan. At the rate this team is disintegrating we aren’t going to get in many ball games that will require a closer anyway, so why keep him and pay him alot? Get two prospects and pray 2011 is decent
