A's Rumors: Wuertz, Cabrera, Angels

Susan Slusser at the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the Angels are "prepared to make a strong bid" for RHP Michael Wuertz's services. That strong bid could begin with infielder Sean Rodriguez.However, it's unclear if the A's would be willing to trade Wuertz within the division--Wuertz is under team control for two more years. Slusser also notes that the Twins have expressed interest in SS Orlando Cabrera, who has a .925 OPS in July, but they might not have a prospect package good enough to entice the A's.
