July 26, 201016 yr The Yankees offered Montero for Soria, and the Royals supposedly turned it down. It's no surprise the Royals have sucked for years with decisions like that. Who needs a super power hitting best catching 'spect in the game, especially for a guy who gets three outs a game? Yeah, lets trade another potential quality reliever like Leo Nunez for Mike Jacobs, instead. :thumbup I'm down! Do it up!

July 27, 201016 yr Author 5:06pm: The Marlins are not close to sending Cantu to the Rangers, according to Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald (Twitter link). The Rockies have stepped up their bid for Cantu and the Giants are still involved. The clock it starting to tick faster and faster. We need to get a deal done.
July 27, 201016 yr Author The Yankees are trying to trade Chan Ho Park, according to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark (via Twitter). The market for relievers is thin, but adding Park to it doesn't change much for teams in search of relief help. The 37-year-old has allowed seven homers and 30 other hits in 32.1 innings for a 5.57 ERA. Park's strikeout (7.2 K/9) and walk (2.5 BB/9) numbers have been above-average, but he has been hittable in 2010. I really don't see one team interested in Chan Ho Park, and no team should be. Oswalt will not approve any trade unless the acquiring team picks up his 2012 option, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com (Twitter link). Oswalt would consider deferring money, but he will not accept a deal unless the team trading for him picks up his $16MM option (Twitter link). Smart for Oswalt but I doubt many teams want to pick up that option. I still feel St. Louis as the best option for him and the leading candidate.
July 27, 201016 yr Author MrMarlinPride: Giving you the news MLBTR gave you yesterday, today! Yeah fixed the name, I really hate when people add the S but it's cool beans, and hey, I'm just spreading the word, don't shoot the messenger.
July 27, 201016 yr Yankees On Soria's No-Trade ListBy Tim Dierkes [July 27 at 1:40pm CST]The Yankees are one of six teams on the no-trade list of Royals closer Joakim Soria, reportsESPN's Andrew Marchand. We learned yesterday that the Yankees made a "big proposal" for Soria, even dangling Jesus Montero, but the Royals were not interested. Marchand notes that in the unlikely event the Royals and Yankees do reach an agreement for Soria, the no-trade clause might simply provide leverage for the pitcher. Maybe that means he requires all three club options to be picked up or even a contract restructuring, but we're getting ahead of ourselves. wtf is soria thinking?

Plenty of players are more low key and not players that like playing in bright lights and the big city. A Perfect example is his teammate Zach Greinkie who could have signed with a serious contender after his Cy Young season but decided to just stay with the team and city who he's comfortable playing for and living in. Also Soria might not even be the closer with all the Hype Joba has been getting about being the next Yankee Closer.
July 27, 201016 yr I don't mean to be a snob, but I'd rather big trades (like the Haren one) get their own threads instead of being lost in this stuff I could just read on MLB Trade Rumors.
July 28, 201016 yr Author I don't mean to be a snob, but I'd rather big trades (like the Haren one) get their own threads instead of being lost in this stuff I could just read on MLB Trade Rumors. It's cool, you can go ahead and make it if you want. I really didn't expect any big moves this season so I just felt one small thread for those who don't read MLBTR could keep up to date.
July 29, 201016 yr Author The Tigers acquired Jhonny Peralta and cash from the Indians for minor league pitcher Giovanni Soto, according to the team. MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince reports on Twitter that the Tigers are getting cash, and ESPN.com's Buster Olney says the Tribe will pay most of Peralta's salary (Twitter link). To make room on their 40-man roster, the Tigers designated Wilkin Ramirez for assignment (Twitter link). They needed depth with the loses of Inge and Carlos Guillen and he should be a nice add on to an injury plagued team.
July 29, 201016 yr Author Dodgers acquire Podsednik for 2 minor leaguers Good for him that he gets to go to a contender, he's having a great year. Good for me that now he'll bat ahead of Eithier, Kemp, Loney since he's on my fantasy team.

July 29, 201016 yr Author Phillies and Padres eying Miguel Tejada. Phillies could use Tejada to replace Chase Utley who's still our for another at least 5-6 weeks. They could move Polanco back to 2nd and use Miguel at 3rd and place him in the 6th or 7th spot in the order. The Padres could certainly need Tejada in there Push towards the playoffs as he has put up much better number then Everth Cabrera and the asking price shouldn't be too high as Tejada is having probably the worst season of his career since his 1st three seasons in Oakland.

July 29, 201016 yr Author Miguel Tejada and Josh Bell have been scratched from their respective games today, so it appears that the Orioles have traded Tejada, according to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun (via Twitter). Tejada may have been scratched since he's about to join another team and Bell may have been scratched because he's about to join the O's, though nothing is official yet.
July 30, 201016 yr Wait... there's a pitcher named Giovanni Soto? God, he needs to be traded to the Cubs.
July 30, 201016 yr Yankees Close To Acquiring Lance Berkman By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 30 at 4:20pm CST] 4:20pm: The deal is "imminent," according to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News (on Twitter). 4:19pm: Berkman is considering four possible destinations, according to Bernardo Fallas of the Houston Chronicle (Twitter link). 4:16pm: The Yankees are "likely" to get Berkman, a source tells Newsday's Ken Davidoff.
