Posted June 22, 200519 yr Since the Zito for Ryan Howard trade rumour was just a media rumor, and since Lawrence seems to be turning things around for the Padres, then the Marlins' competition for Barry Zito has narrowed down. If anything happens, expect it to be early July.
June 22, 200519 yr Author Let me add by saying that in order to get Zito, the Marlins are going to have to give more than Mota/Encarnacion + Olsen. Which brings me to the conclusion that our chances of getting Zito have deeply decreased.
June 22, 200519 yr Author Beane said to the The Sporting News "Barry's pitched well, he has","I need him. Im not thiniking about trading him.
June 22, 200519 yr Zito is this year's RJ 820682[/snapback] except RJ wasn't havign such a sorry season at the time :plain
June 22, 200519 yr Zito is this year's RJ 820682[/snapback] except RJ wasn't havign such a sorry season at the time :plain 820689[/snapback] Obviously. I meant he's gonna be the guy that will be rumored to be going somewhere before the all star break.
June 22, 200519 yr Bring Zito to the Marlins. He will be a big help and get his career turned around again. A's are horrible this year. Plus it will make two dominate lefties in our rotation.
June 23, 200519 yr Zito is this year's RJ 820682[/snapback] I think that contrary to media quotes the A's want to trade Zito. They knew they could get top value for Hudson and Mulder in the offseason, but had to wait until midseason to get much for Zito.
