If a deal is appealing, Ricciardi might move Scott Rolen or Lyle Overbay.

Braden Looper, P, free agent - Not offered arbitration by the Cardinals, he's close to signing with the Brewers. Milwaukee has holes to fill with the loss of CC Sabathia and the likely loss of Ben Sheets, so Looper, 12-14 with a 4.16 ERA in 33 starts in 2008, will get a chance to start.

Jim Edmonds, OF, free agent - It's hard not to love Edmonds's spunk, and the fact he showed he still had something left playing for the Cubs last season (19 homers) after a horrible start with the Cardinals. Could Edmonds be one of those guys the Red Sox bring into spring training and consider as a fourth or fifth outfielder? Don't rule it out.
