Trade Deadline Thread

[JakeFlake]

With the deadline coming in six days, the rumor mill is sure to heat up. The first shot has been fired, as the Diamondbacks ship Dan Haren to the Angels for three minor leaguers.

reports here have the phillies taking a long hard look at roy oswalt.

i say PLEASE do NOT trade for him. the phillies dont need a starter.

[Johnny Rockets]

They say Greinke is on the block....no telling how much KC would want for him. He is having a down year but I think if he were in a better situation he would return to his old dominate form.

It is also my opinion that some team may be able to obtain Greinke at a bargain basement price and come away with a real good steal if he does return to his old dominate form.

well reports here say oswalt to the phils is done he just has to waive his no trade clause.

I'll believe it when it is "final" (see Cliff Lee to Yanks). What are we giving up?

[c0r]

yup.

JA Happ and some prospects would be going back to Houston. (possibly Matt Rizzoti, Vance Worley, etc.)

So nothing major huh? I like it..gotta love Ed Wade. Hope it goes through. With Oswalt and Brown that might really kick this momentum the Phillies seem to have into overdrive. Get it done Ruben!

Cubs tried to trade Derrick Lee to the As, but he has a no trade clause..

I thought it was to the LA Angels and I couldn't understand why he wouldn't want to go there. If it was the A's then that makes more sense.

Ted Lilly is being shopped around.

Maybe, maybe it was the Angels, I was only half listening...because I figured out in May the team will be blown up.

It was the Angels but I had no idea they were 8.5 out and rumored to be "sellers" today. Might be why Lee didn't want to go there.

now they are saying houston is sending $10+ million along with oswalt...and the phillies dont have to guarantee the third year...

hmmmmmmmmmmm
