Default MLB Trade Deadline

Not many big trades today, and not many top end pitchers moving. Some nice moves imo by some teams close to contention.

The surprises to me are 1) Soriano not moving 2) the Red Sox not countering the Yanks Abreu trade and 3) several teams in the playoff hunt standing pat (A's, BoSox, Jays, White Sox, Angels, etc).

Reported trade for Tejada: Aybar, Kotchman, Santana. Baltimore turned it down.

I can't believe it, that is an amazing return with Kotchman still having star potential. Santana with good stuff, who is currently a #3/4 guy with #2 potential. Aybar, one of the best fielders in the minor leagues at shortstop, who has put up very good numbers offensively as well.

Angels were reportedly interested in Wells too - earlier in the season. If the package was a little better (Sub Wood for Aybar), I'd do it. Oh, and it would plug massive holes cheaply for next season and still give you a decent shot this year.

Wow, if the O's turned that down they are nuts, well then again I guess they are trying to perfect being mediocre year after year.

I heard it was turned down because Tejada refused to play 3rd base for the Angels. My buddies in oakland also called me and said the A's were the front runners for Soriano.

Trades can still happen until like the end of August. Difference is that all players being traded need to clear waivers. So it's tough to make a deal unless you're willing to take on a pile of salary. But it has been known to happen in the past as the Jays traded Jeff Kent for David Cone when waivers were in effect. How they got that trade through I have no idea.
