Trade rumors: Rangers, Reds, Blue Jays, Mariners and Red Sox among teams interested in Andrew Bailey

By juan

Here’s a running list of trade rumors around the Major Leagues:

– The Texas Rangers are still looking for bullpen help, and according to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports one of their targets is Athletics’ Andrew Bailey. Buster Olney of ESPN adds that the Reds, Blue Jays, Mariners and Red Sox are among other teams interested in the closer.

Troy Renck of the Denver Post says that the Rockies remain “hopeful of finding common ground with Atlanta on infielder Martin Prado.” The Braves are apparently willing to move the infielder and Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports says that the Tigers are also interested in acquiring him.

– Even though the Giants exercised Jeremy Affeldt’s $5 million option, Major League sources close to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports say that they will try to move him or Ramon Ramirez. The Giants are “trying to reduce the heavy investment in its bullpen,” says Rosenthal.

– According to Troy Renck of the Denver Post, the Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Angels have talked about a possible Chris Iannetta deal. Renck was told that the Rockies asked about Tyler Chatwood.

– The Toronto Blue Jays, who are looking for a closer, are interested in Royals’ Greg Holland according to Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star. He adds that the team is not “inclined” to move him unless they are overwhelmed by an offer.
