Report: Red Sox Among Teams Interested in Rockies Closer Huston Street

The Red Sox' open closer's position is starting to become just as much of a hot topic as the team's managerial vacancy. And the Sox could be open to a trade in order to obtain Jonathan Papelbon's successor. The Sox are among the teams interested in Colorado Rockies closer Huston Street, SI.com's Jon Heyman reports. Street was 1-4 with a 3.86 ERA in 62 games in...

Mets remain interested in Street

Jon Heyman is reporting that the Mets are one of six teams interested in trading for Huston Street. I just don't know how such a trade would work out, considering Street's public feud with Bench coach Bob Geren.

But the second-time all-star still put together another solid campaign, capped by his eighth-place finish in the Baseball Writers Association...

Impact: Phillies Acquire Wigginton

Brendan's take: In a move sure to go under the radar to most fantasy players, the Phillies acquired Ty Wigginton from the Rockies. He'll prove valuable in not only NL leagues but also in deeper mixed daily ones. His multi-position eligibility is a perfect fit for the Phillies, who have an aging Utley and Polanco at second and third respectively, an injured Ryan Howard, and...

Mets remain interested in Huston Street

Jon Heyman of SI.com says the Mets, Blue Jays, Orioles, Marlins, Red Sox and Reds are all interested in reliever Huston Street, although Street’s feud with new bench coach Bob Geren is a deterrent for the Mets. While with Oakland in September 2008, Street had to be separated from then-manager Bob Geren after getting pulled from a game in Detroit. “For me personally, he was...
