Is Ervin Santana Available?

[twax2k1]

With Jered Weaver being lights out in his first four starts, could the Angels be looking to trade Santana in order reinstate Colon to the squad. Thats a 24 year old arm I would like to see in Cubbie blue!!!

No. Jeff Weaver will be the one who goes.

He should be the one who goes. The Angels would be stupid to remove anyone else from the rotation.

Didnt Jeff turn down a multi-year deal? Big mistake if he did!

According to LA Times:

 

The Angels notified teams that Jeff Weaver is available, offering to pay a chunk of what's left on his $8.325-million contract, but found little interest. The Angels have discussed a trade that would sent Ervin Santana to Tampa Bay for outfielder Carl Crawford but are extremely reluctant to part with one of their best young pitchers.

 

According to Orange County Register:

 

The long-term solution to the Angels' starting pitching logjam might involve a trade. The Angels have until July 31 to trade Jeff Weaver, though that could be difficult given his 3-9 record and $8.25 million salary. They also have told teams they would be willing to trade 23-year-old right-hander Ervin Santana to acquire an impact hitter.

Can't think of much the Cubs have to offer at this point other than Aramis.

Wow...this is too good to be true. Pick up Ortiz and then trade for Weaver.
