Nomaaaah in Anaheim?
The New Jersey Star-Ledger reports that the Angels are among four teams that may be bidding for the disgruntled Nomar Garciaparra (Seattle, Los Angeles, and the White Sox being the others). Adam Kennedy and Ramon Ortiz are mentioned as possible trade-bait.
I'm all for getting rid of Kennedy's contract, and I'm also all for screaming "NOMAAAAH!" at every home game, but there's no way this is going to happen. Why would the BoSox want scraps like Ortiz and Kennedy? I guess there may be prospects involved, but I wouldn't deal anything of value for Garciaparra, who, in addition to being a rent-a-player, has serious health and attitude questions. In other words, take with a grain of salt.
Also, according to the Baltimore Sun, the Orioles are refocusing on Ramon Ortiz. There's no mention of what the deal might entail, but it looks like the Angels have killed the idea of a Buddy Groom straight-up deal.
