Dusty Baker Interested In Wood

Found December 02, 2008 on Eli's MLB Rumors:
PLAYERS: Kerry Wood
TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds,  Chicago Cubs,  Los Angeles Angels,  New York Mets

According to the Chicago Tribune, Reds manager Dusty Baker has interest in bringing in Kerry Wood to be the Reds setup man. The Cubs decided to pass on offering arbitration to Wood, who has thirty-four saves last season. The Cubs feared that Wood would accept the offer, mostly because of his desire to stay in Chicago. By not offering Wood arbitration, he becomes much more desirable to teams who value their draft picks. The Reds probably do not have much chance of signing Wood, who is reportedly seeking a multi-year deal and a guaranteed closer spot.A
The Rangers, Angels, Mets, and Tigers are reportedly showing interest.A

Baker wants Wood, Mets could use Cordero

Via Mets Fever  |  December 02, 2008
Last year in the off-season I thought it would be smart for the Mets to over pay Francisco Cordero to set-up for two years with the promise to close when Wagner retired. Of course, at the price Cordero received that just wouldn't be economically sound. I had no idea he would get four years at ...

He had become an instant sensation and was one of the most popular players in the game almost overnight. Things didn't exactly end up the way everyone first thought for Kerry Wood as his career waged on, mostly...
