The Non Cubs Related Trade Deadline Thread

[Little Slide Rooter]

Does this exist yet? If so, sorry. Anyway, rather than starting a new thread tommorow when mega stars like John Grabow, Greg Zaun or Gerald Laird change teams, I figure it would be more efficient to have one thread.

 

Anyway, the exciting deals are done, and I dont expect many more big name players to change teams. Maybe Texeira, maybe Beltre. The annual Red Sox shopping Manny tease will end up as just that, and they'll kiss and make up, as usual.

Two rumors floating around currently are Teixeira to either the Dbacks or Angels. The Angels also want Will Ohman or Mike Gonzalez. The Angels would be willing to include Kochman if they could get the lefty arm as well. The Dbacks offer includes Tracy.

 

Another rumor is that Manny could go to the Dodgers.

I havnt heard that the D-Backs were offering Tracy, just that the Braves were demanding Tracy or Connor Jackson for Teixara.

From what I've read, it seems the Braves are demanding Jackson, but the D'Backs are opposed to dealing him. They seem to be comfortable dealing Tracy though.

I don't get why the Angels would give away anything of value for Tex. They are all but a lock to make the playoffs (BP has them at 93.8% for the division and 94.5% to make the playoffs). Tex obviously makes them better, but how much value does that bring over a small sample size like the playoffs? The only way they should do it is if they have a window to negotiate a long term extention.

This brings back memories of last year's trade deadline. All the rumors and 40 minutes before the deadline my power went out until the 4th inning of the Cubs-Phillies game.
