Has there been a more injured pitcher then Harden in MLB. If he could ever stay healthy he would be good. Unfortunately for him he is the Jess Settles of MLB.

Rumors of Denard Span to Washington.

Who is going to trade for Soriano ... who doesn't need a below average outfielder that can't lay off the breaking ball.

I believe the Cubs even said they would eat some of his huge contract and still no offers?

Shoot. I opened this thread just to post something like that.

Please, somebody, take him. He's a gift!

Word is talks fell apart when Twins insisted on inclusion of Nick Blackburn.

From 13 or 14 - 1 at all star break last year and all star starter to washed up 1-7 pitcher traded for prospects. Simply amazing how fast someone can fall from grace.

Pirates just got Derrek Lee from the Orioles for a single-A player outside of the Pirates Top 30 prospects.

**JP4CY** · 07-30-2011, 11:39 PM

No Heath Bell trade yet is very weird.

**clonesalltheway** · 07-31-2011, 12:49 AM

I hope the Twins trade away someone and get some good minor league prospects. I think they are too far back, and with the Indians getting Jiminez and having three teams ahead of them does not help.

**Creed** · 07-31-2011, 01:03 AM

Apparently the Boston-Rich Harden deal isn't going down anymore

As a D-Back fan I love this trade. Marquis is only 32 and has pitched well this year so far. And the D-Backs didn't have to give up any of their top minor league prospects. They're basically renting him for the stretch. It's nice to see them be buyers instead of sellers this year.
