Pirates Talk Extensions With Sanchez & Wilson
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 17 at 12:31am CST]

It looked like the Pirates might trade Freddy Sanchez and Jack Wilson away this month, but Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says the team wants to keep its double play combination together for years. The Pirates approached Sanchez and Wilson, who are close friends, about extending their current deals.
It appears unlikely that one of the two would sign an extension without the other. The timeline for the deals is short, since the Pirates will need time to shop the pair if they don't extend them.

Both players sound excited about deals that would keep them in Pittsburgh for years. Wilson's current contract guarantees him $7.4MM this season, and the Pirates have the option of paying him more next year or buying him out for $600k. Wilson, 31, said he's open to taking a paycut.

Sanchez will likely see his $8MM option vest next year, but he's open to restructuring it.

GM Neal Huntington says he's not looking to trade all his players, but is "more open" to dealing impending free agents. He doesn't mention John Grabow and Adam LaRoche by name, but both are set to become free agents after the season. The Pirates are discussing Ian Snell with other teams.

The Brewers will trade for a pitcher.

My dream: Halladay gets traded to the Cardinals. :D

[manchild24]

I dont think Sanchez gets traded.

Pittsburg should not be allowed to have a team anymore. MLB should just say "NO" All they do is sell off their best players, they're a damn farm club for the rest of the buyers in the league.

Freddy Sanchez to Colorado Rockies

or

Miguel Batista to Colorado Rockies

The Yankees will end up trading for a pitcher. Which pitcher? Who knows.

There's been a lot of rumors on Halladay coming to the Yanks but I really don't believe it will happen; it's just media rubbish.

[celtsxpatsxsox]

I think the Red Sox will trade Brad Penny by the deadline.

[celtsxpatsxsox]

I guess the Mets rejected a trade offer from the Jays.

5:55pm: Jon Heyman at SI tweets that the Mets rejected a package of Fernando Martinez, Bobby Parnell, Jon Niese and Ruben Tejada for Halladay.

The Red Sox will end up adding a bat and it would likely be Adrian Gonzalez.

The Yankees will end up getting a 4 or 5 starter or Cliff Lee.

[Obst]

I think the Phillies give up on Halladay and trade for Cliff Lee. We've already scouted Lee and Shapiro wants a major league-ready young starter that can go into the second or third hole in the rotation. So that would be JA Happ and some prospects for Cliff Lee. I can see it happening.

The Yankees will end up getting a 4 or 5 starter or Cliff Lee.

Are you fucking retarded? Why would the Padres trade Gonzalez. This isn't Madden, think before you post.

[Obst]

San Diego CEO and vice chairman Jeff Moorad has maintained that Gonzalez will not be traded during or after the season, saying that "at some level, albeit a significant one financially, I can see him fitting in long term."

With that said, I wouldn't go as far as calling someone "fucking retarded" when you made a thread saying the Brewers will get Halladay
