According to WFAN, the Dodgers may have offered OF Matt Kemp and P Jonathan Broxton to the Orioles for Erik Bedard.

Broxton, 23, would likely close for the Orioles if this happens. He went 4-4 with a 2.85 ERA and 99 strikeouts in 82 innings of work last season.

Kemp, 23, hit .342 with 10 HRs and 42 RBIs during the 2007 campaign in 292 at-bats.

Ken Rosenthal shares some Hot Stove buzz today on Fox Sports.

Rosenthal believes the Dodgers would benefit most from the addition of Torii Hunter. There are many center fielders on the market including Aaron Rowand and Andruw Jones.

Rosenthal thinks Mariano Rivera is crazy if he doesn’t take the Yankees offer, but mentions that Rivera talked about possibly joining Joe Torre and the Dodgers to the Associated Press. The Dodgers would have a formidable bullpen with Jonathan Broxton, Takashi Saito and Rivera.

Rosenthal also writes that the Mets are divided on whether to make a strong push for free-agent right-hander Livan Hernandez. The Cardinals and Astros are also interested in Livan, who turns 33 in February (alledgedly).

Hernandez, Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux are the only major-league pitchers to make 30 or more starts in each of the past 10 seasons.
