Trade Rumors

[BigWeiner]

I'm thinking the Braves making all these moves might set off a chain reaction of more moves, what do you guys think?

Not only are the Braves getting Mark Teixeira, but they're close to acquiring Octavio Dotel from the Royals, according to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal.
Going for broke. No word on what the Braves would give up. Yunel Escobar was surely a topic of conversation, but Atlanta probably isn't parting with him for a rental. Shortstop Brent Lillibridge, RHP Tommy Hanson and outfielder Jordan Schafer are candidates to be involved.

The Mets are close to acquiring Luis Castillo from the Twins for two minor leaguers, sources told FOXSports.com.
No word on the players going the other way, but Mike Pelfrey, Lastings Milledge, Carlos Gomez and Fernando Martinez can be ruled out. We also doubt Philip Humber or Deolis Guerra is involved. That would leave 2006 second-rounder Kevin Mulvey, left-hander Jason Vargas and first baseman Mike Carp as possibilities. The Twins could go with Nick Punto at second base, with Brian Buscher acting as the full-time third baseman, or call up Alexi Casilla to take over the position.

Reyes and Castillo at the top of the order would be SWEET!!!

It's not a blockbuster, but Fox Sports is reporting:

The Phillies, seeking to upgrade their rotation, have acquired Reds right-hander Kyle Lohse for Class AA left-hander Matt Maloney, according to a major-league source.

[BigWeiner]

According to the Kansas City Star, the Royals will acquire Kyle Davies from the Braves for Octavio Dotel.
Definitely a deal worth making for Kansas City. Davies' stock has fallen the last two years, but he's just 23 and he still has a chance to be a long-term No. 3.

The Braves are reportedly involved in discussions with the Reds regarding Bronson Arroyo.
The Reds are under no pressure at all to move Arroyo, who is signed through 2010 with an option for 2011. The Braves may have the money to take him on -- he big extension doesn't kick in until 2009, so he'll make less than $6 million through the end of 2008 -- but they're starting to run low on minor league talent to pull off another major deal. They'd likely have to include Jo-Jo Reyes, another quality pitching prospect (Tommy Hanson) and one of their top remaining minor league position players.

Our only hope is Pedro comes back and can be decent, Alou stays healthy, get Chavez back and Beltran gets healthy. Asking a lot but we will see....
