Miguel Cabrera Rumors

Time for a Miguel Cabrera update. The Angels, Dodgers, Giants, and White Sox have been rumored to be interested in trading for the slugger. A few day ago, the Angels were believed to be leading the sweepstakes. It was also believed that a trade could be completed by the weekend. But now it's believed that the Dodgers have the lead. The package from the Dodgers would have to include Matt Kemp, Andy LaRoche, and Clayton Kershaw or more. The Angels have been rumored to be offering a package of Ervin Santana, Howie Kendrick, Chris Bootcheck, and Nick Adenhart in the next little while. Other options from the Angels could be Joe Saunders, Brandon Wood, Mike Napoli, Jeff Mathis, or Reggie Willits. It seems like the Angels may have the best players, but either way (LAA, LAD) you can't go wrong.

A White Sox package of Josh Fields, Ryan Sweeney, and Gio Gonzalez just doesn't seem comparable to the above. The Giants don't make much sense, and I don't see the Rangers making the move either.

If the Didgers get Cabrera, than they'll turn to free agency for an outfielder. Aaron Rowand seems to be the most popular option.
