Trade watch: July 22
posted in 2007 season, trade rumors |A feature I’ll run until the trade deadline, here’s what we know:
- The Tigers were scouting Houston this past series, Baseball Prospectus reports.
They were “paying particular attention to Houston’s Chad Qualls, Dan Wheeler, and Brad Lidge and Pittsburgh’s Salomon Torres, Damaso Marte, and Shawn Chacon.” - Jason Beck reports, on the flip side, the Washington Nationals were scouting Erie’s Jair Jurrgens. Beck writes, “The Nats have a pair of relievers on the market who could be of interest to the Tigers depending on the price in closer Chad Cordero and big right-hander Jon Rauch. According to our MLB.com Nats reporter, GM Jim Bowden is again sticking to his prices on his most tradeable commodities.”
- Nothing much else new that I can find. You know all about Eric Gagne and his no-trade listing of the Tigers. You’ve heard about watching Octavio Dotel of the Royals.
