Heath Bell nearing deal with...someone
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/1...medium=twitter

Quote:
Heath Bell is nearing a deal with an unknown team, according to Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio and ESPN.com (Twitter link). It will not cost a draft pick to sign Bell, a Type A free agent, even though the Padres offered him arbitration last week. San Diego would obtain two top 2012 draft picks if Bell signs elsewhere.

Well Jim Bowden is full of hot air. Mlbtraderumors now says, per Bell's twitter account, that nothing is going on and it was misinformation.

Why would you want the Reds to shell out that type of coin for a closer when a starter would seem to be a more pressing need?

Because I wish the Reds had the money for both starters and a closer.

I understand your point though.

Re: Heath Bell nearing deal with...someone
Bell is apparently between the Marlins and Blue Jays. I don't need the Reds to spend big on relievers.

But they had better add some good bullpen arms, even of the cheaper variety. The remnants of last year's bullpen - with no Coco - are simply not enough for this team to compete.

Juan Carlos Oviedo (formerly Leo Nunez) to be non-tendered.

Yup. It was quite obvious that was going to happen even before they signed Bell.
