Jerry Crasnick writes on the ESPN Winter Meetings blog that have more interest in Erik Bedard than Johan Santana and may be more willing to include Matt Kemp now that they have acquired Andruw Jones.

Crasnick proposes that a deal would probably be a 4-for-1 swap centered around their top pitching prospect, Clayton Kershaw, along with either Kemp or Andre Ethier.

Crasnick believes they will first explore less pricey options first, such as free agent Hiroki Kuroda or Oakland’s Joe Blanton.
