I wonder if teams might be wary of dealing with Theo for pitching for the same reason they might (rightfully) be wary of dealing with Beane. Theo has publicly stated, for what it's worth, that he feels maintaining pitcher health is the new market inefficiency. He supported this by going after Maddux, a guy who helped usher in a new training regimen for pitchers and personally converted a short reliever to an elite starter in two years. Yet, it is doubtful that Maddux has the SABR inclinations that we thought would be a prerequisite in Theo's search, again suggesting a re-focus on pitching above all. And I realize that Beane just got a king's ransom for Gio, but Gio doesn't have Garza's financial RoR. Anyone dealing for Garza would need to be prepared to extend him right away. He's got a couple more years on Gio, thus more mileage on his arm and will get expensive quite quickly. And by all accounts, Theo is asking for as much or more for him (and yet almost seems insistent on moving him). Maybe all those extra breaking balls have him/other teams worried.
