The Trade Rumors Thread

I iwsh the Cub could trade some people like Zambrano, Kosuke, Soriano, etc but no one wants those contracts.

Try LA Angels or the White Sox.

And some guys are reluctantly to waive their no trade like Aramis.

Hendry, ftw.

More updates from MLBTradeRumors.

The Mets are willing to eat some of Beltran's $18.5MM salary in order to get quality prospects in return, tweets SI.com's Jon Heyman. Approximately $11.4MM is still owed to him this year.

Dylan Hernandez of The Los Angeles Times reports that the Dodgers have signed second round pick Alex Santana (on Twitter). MLB's slot recommendation for the 73rd overall pick is approximately $500K.

Orioles' scouting director Joe Jordan spoke to MLB.com's Britt Ghiroli about this week's draft, saying they "don’t expect" to set any bonus records for first rounder Dylan Bundy. You can see Baltimore's five largest amateur signing bonuses here.

Danny Hultzen (Mariners), Taylor Jungmann (Brewers) and Tyler Anderson (Rockies) are among the 2011 draftees who could make an impact in the Major Leagues before long, according to MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo.

We’re looking forward to seeing pitchers like Hultzen in the big leagues, but building a rotation through the draft is harder than it seems, as Tom Verducci shows at SI.com. Even first rounders have a high rate of failure, Verducci explains.

Former first rounder Scott Kazmir has a 15.15 ERA with a 13K/16BB ratio in Triple-A, so it appears that it's only a matter of time before the Angels release him, according to Mike DiGiovanna of the LA Times.

Jim Bowden of ESPN.com explains that he would pursue a two-year, $30MM extension with David Ortiz if he were running the Red Sox. Big Papi's consistency, history of health and hot bat all figure in to Bowden's analysis. Ortiz has a .326/.394/.612 line with 15 homers.

Interesting note on Kazmir- how he has fallen off the face of the earth so quickly. Some team will take a chance on him, but it looks like his problems extend beyond any simple explanation.

The aforementioned K-Rod would be a good idea.

Can get him for less than it would take under normal circumstances.

Especially since the Yankees are one of the few teams who could afford to pay the vesting option which Rodriguez is sure to hit. Though with Soriano on the shelf, he probably will not opt out of his contract, so the Yankees might stay away.

Actually, if the Yankees want KRod, the $17 million option wouldn't necessarily come into effect. He needs to finish 55 (or whatever the # is) games. With Mo around, he's not going to finish too many games as a Yankee.

It's an option but I doubt they'd be gung ho about bringing a career closer in to be a set-up man. Usually doesn't work out too well.

K-Rod would want to go to Yanks or Rays if traded(No shit).
