Newsbreakers
December 10, 2008
The Cardinals inquired about Astros' closer Jose Valverde, but talks did not progress and ended earlier in the week, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:Valverde nailed down 44 saves with a solid 1.18 WHIP with Houston in 2008, and team GM Ed Wade does not intend to trade him, although remaining open to proposals. As of now, the top free agent closer still available is Brian Fuentes, who the Cardinals talked to.
December 9, 2008
A day after Astros' GM Ed Wade said that Jose Valverde would not be traded, he came back by saying he would do everything possible to not trade him, but wouldn't rule it out, according to Yahoo Sports.

Our View:Valverde racked up 44 saves for the Astros last year and went 6-3 with a 3.38 ERA in 74 games.
December 8, 2008
The Houston Astros have said that they are not interested in dealing closer Jose Valverde, according to ESPN.com. "I can assure that Valverde is not being traded," Astros GM Ed Wade said.

Our View:That takes one of the closers off the market, but there are plenty more to be had in trade or free agency.
November 29, 2008
The New York Mets need a closer, and before deciding to give huge dollars to Francisco Rodriguez or Brian Fuentes, the team has had discussions with the teams that employ Jose Valverde, Huston Street, J.J. Putz and Bobby Jenks, according to the New York Times.

Our View:Fuentes and Rodriguez are going to ask for a ton of money, though if the Mets bow out of the bidding, their contracts may be much less than initially anticipated. One way or another, the Mets will acquire a closer this winter.
November 26, 2008
The Rangers are not believed to be interested in Astros' closer Jose Valverde, according to MLB.com.

Our View:Valverde is on the trading block, but it seems doubtful that the Astros can deal him for one of the Rangers' several catchers, which is an area of need for Houston.
