MLB Trade deadline/rumors thread

[BillD1984]

With the trading deadline less than three weeks away, I figured it was time to start a thread of rumors and trades. I got the following off of mlbtraderumors.com:


Jason Bay- Diamondbacks and Cardinals are interested, and the Mets and Rays have kicked the tires on a possible deal.

Eric Milton- will be signing with the Yankees, however, he is six weeks away from returning (Tommy John surgery)

Richie Sexson- Yankees want another RH bat and might be considering Sexson

Raul Ibanez- Mets might be interested in the Mariners OF to replace the injured Moises Alou

Brian Fuentes- without question the hottest name presently out there. No less than ten teams are interested with the Rays being the current front-runner. The Angels, Marlins, Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, A's, Cubs, and Cardinals are also interested in the Rockies closer.

I think it's time Jason Bay gets moved.

He's a fine player and solid hitter who has toiled for the putrid Pirates- he deserves better.

Two other rumors:



The Phillies are interested in A.J. Burnett

The Diamondbacks are interested in reacquiring Tony Clark.

What? Nobody wants Griffey or Dunn?

Tigers are not listed as wanting Fuentes ???
They must be counting on Roller Coaster Jones for another year, or they may be finally handing the ball over to Joel (Zoom, Zoom) Zumaya next year.

Cancel Mets plans . . . Church will be fine and with that, they probably will not pull trigger on Nady, Bay or Ibanez . . . and they do not have enough for Fuentes (IMO)

Sexson is a RH bat, not LH.

Dunn is homering almost every day right now. If someone is willing to give anything of value for him, Castellini and Jocketty HAVE to pull the trigger! Please!!

Griffey is just going to rot away the rest of the year, and then the club won't pick up the option next year.

And, praise God, in 2009 they'll both be gone, and we can move forward.

You don't want Griffey ?
He can play on my team anytime .

Yankees are now potential suitors for Xavier Nady.


Rockies might consider Ian Kennedy straight up for Fuentes (if the Yankees are willing to part with Kennedy).

Damaso Marte- The Cardinals, Mets, Red Sox , and Rays are all interested in the Pirates reliever.
