Last month I heard that the Cardinals where inquiring about Heath Bell. Well this morning Buster Olney of ESPN reported the Cardinals are scouting Heath Bell. Is this really necessary? Fernando Salas has earned the closer role by going 10 for 10 in save opportunities. Bell will become a free agent after this season. Bell wants to stay a Padre but the team will most likely trade him.
If the Padres decide to keep Bell, they could offer him arbitration this winter and if he does go to another team, San Diego will likely be awarded two draft picks due to his likely Type-A free agent status.
