To keep up with the pace, we will try to pull the highlights from recent posts...
Miguel Tejada to the Phillies

Cliff Lee to Anyone
Any team would like him, and the most rumored of them are the Phillies, Twins, Mets, Reds, Cardinals, Dodgers, and Yankees.
I keep changing my thoughts by the moment, but I'm beginning to feel that the Phillies will most likely not trade for him.


Tigers Interested in Stephen Drew
It seems like we've been waiting forever for Stephen Drew to become a reliable offensive threat at the premium shortstop position. I still think he's an exciting player, so a change of scenery would surely be intriguing. Something tells me, however, that switching to the American League would take an adjustment period that a contender wouldn't be able to live with.
Prince Fielder to the White Sox
This is just the kind of deal that I think Kenny Williams would be more than capable of. He is not afraid of throwing a handful of prized prospects for a player he thinks can help right now and in the future. Prince Fielder is under team control through the 2011 season, and the White Sox would probably try to get an extension done anyway.
As Tom Haudricourt gossips in this piece, "Williams has some intriguing options that might tempt the Brewers, such as right-hander Gavin Floyd, reliever Sergio Santos, pitching prospect Daniel Hudson and young third baseman Dayan Viciedo." If the Brewers got all of those guys for Prince, they should be dancing in the streets of Mequon.

Marlins Open to Making Changes
When bubble teams, like the Marlins become sellers, the supply in the trade market shifts so dramatically that it's almost impossible to accurately speculate potential reactions. Jorge Cantu, Dan Uggla, Cody Ross, and Ricky Nolasco are capable of greatly helping a contender.
Carlos Zambrano for Aaron Rowand
Henry Schulman, of the San Francisco Chronicle, admits that he's "just a baseball writer talking here". It's purely "crazy" speculation on his part, but he tries to conclude his argument with:
"Rowand, in turn, might thrive more in a better hitters' park in a city where he won a World Series ring with the White Sox in 2005.As a Cub fan, I especially think that's a lousy rumor. The Cubs don't need another overpaid fourth outfielder, and they're not about to give away Zambrano for just someone else's bad contract. They can still extract value from a 29-year old pitcher who can win 12-15 games for the next 4 or 5 years, at least.The Cubs would relieve themselves of a big headache. The Giants would add another good arm to their rotation, putting them in a better position to trade a starter for a bat."
