Around SBN: Phillies trade for OF Matt Stairs Bar-right-arrows



7/30 Rumour Mill: Ibanez-----> Edmonds insurance?, Pudge/F4rn$w0rth swap

 

Rosenthal:

The Cubs, trying to cover every angle in their quest to win their first World Series in 100 years, are discussing trades for a left-handed hitter, including Mariners outfielder Raul Ibanez.
The team is not close to a deal, major-league sources say, and ultimately might settle for a bench player who would be an upgrade over Daryle Ward, or make no trade at all.

Olney:

Washburn a fit for Mets?

"It's a natural fit for those two teams," the executive mused.


Yes, it's barely anything, I know.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Wednesday that the Pirates are deep into talks with the Rays about Jason Bay. Separately, with about 29 hours to go before the trade deadline, sources indicate to ESPN that while nothing is imminent, the two sides are talking constructively and trying to bridge the gap.


Yes yes yes, go Rays.

Per Rotoworld, (via Goose)


The Miami Herald reports that the Marlins are close to acquiring Arthur Rhodes from the Mariners.
The 37-year-old southpaw has a 3.83 ERA and 26/10 K/BB ratio in 21 1/3 innings for the Mariners, pitching to a total of 83 batters in his 35 appearances.

 

Update: Pudge to to the Bronx:

Rosenthal:

"You have to give up to get," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "You have to do the balancing act."

Tigers president Dave Dombrowski said the team didn't want to trade Rodriguez, but had bigger needs in the bullpen. The two teams began discussing the deal early Wednesday and had it wrapped up about six hours later, just as the Yankees were finishing off a 13-3 win over the Orioles.

"It's going to be very exciting. They are in the race and I'm ready to do my job," Rodriguez said.

I don't get this at all. It's a complete steal for the Yankees.

Hm...

Any idea on what the return for Raul would be? Pie? How’s his defense?

Something equal to or better than a late 1st round and sandwich picks.

Other then, no idea.

Say it ain't so

I’m having horrible nightmares—an outfield of Soriano, Edmonds and Ibanez. How is that for the lame, the halt, and the lame?

Where is Mick Kelleher when we need him?

The offense would be good.

Hanley would be nice.

But I’ll settle for Maybin or Miller.

Giants are interested in Beltre.

Link

However they haven’t exchanged names so nothing will happen.

Considering their trio is off-limits I would just hang up the phone. But it would be nice to get Tim Lincecum back here.

Well, we wouldn't sell high on JJ, but we are listening to offers.

Cardinals and Red Sox are interested.

Seattle is willing to listen to offers on closer J.J. Putz but would have to get a big offer. St. Louis and Boston are interested.

I doubt we would trade him because I don’t think either team would be willing to part with a lot for a guy who is way less than 100%.

Jesus, Lee.

We demanded TWO top prospects from an NL team for Washburn.

If we end up getting nothing for him I’m gonna be so pissed.

Apparently the Yankees deal is dead for now and the Rockies and Mets are interested

The Orioles want a young starting shortstop.

They had hoped to trade Sherril for one. Is there anything they have that we might want if we sent them Yuni?

Remember that Nike commercial after the strike?

DON’T LIKE BASEBALL?
MOVE TO NORWAY

And then ESPN ran a feature about the Norwegian Baseball League.

I never saw the commercials again after that feature aired.

Playing baseball with Vegard Ulvang would be brilliant.

You’d hit the ball into the forest, and Vegard would ski in after it.

5 weeks later he’d ski back out having eaten his own brother to survive.

Crasnick is just regurgitating the Miami Herald report

Which was nothing more than a quick mention at the bottom of a story.
