UPDATE, 12-5-07 at 2:22pm: I was just speculating below, but it turns out the Brewers actually did talk to the D’Backs about Valverde. However the teams don’t seem to match up.
FROM 12-4-07 at 10:52pm:
According to ESPN’s Enrique Rojas, the Diamondbacks are listening to offers for closer Jose Valverde. They feel they’ve got the bullpen depth to cover his loss. This trade possibility is nothing new to MLBTR readers, as it was first mentioned on November 6th. Valverde figures to get a $3MM raise for ’08, to about $5MM.
No mention of possible suitors, but maybe the Brewers and Astros would be interested?
