Orlando Cabrera has been frequently mentioned in trade talks, with the Twins most interested. His wife has been closely following the rumors.
"My wife's into that stuff, because she's the one who would have to pack our bags," Cabrera said before the A's 8-6 win over the Red Sox. "... When (Matt) Holliday got traded, I knew because she told me."
