Happy Trade Deadline Day
posted in 2007 season, trade rumors |We hope it’s a happy trade deadline day, anyway…
It’s a day filled with possibilities. With players changing teams. With holes in team’s fortress walls being fixed for the pennant run.
Or possibly a day not much happens, the national and local media have been reporting for much of the season. So far it’s the Braves with their trade for Mark Texeira who have been most active with their early give giving of Jarod Saltalamacchia to the Rangers.
Jon Paul Morosi keeps talking about shortstop Jack Wilson of the Pirates, who is in the first year of a 3yr/$20M deal. He’d probably be cheap to pay for initially, but is way too much money for a guy who can’t hit a lick. Bloggers have expressed concern. I hope it’s a smoke screen. I just don’t think the media has ever been very good at predicting a Tigers trade ahead of time. So I doubt this happens. I hope. I hope. I hope it doesn’t happen. Getting Fernando Rodney and Joel Zumaya back in August means the Tigers may do nothing at all, Danny Knobler writes.
The deadline is at 4 p.m. eastern, but I’ll update in the comments if anything happens before I get back from work and have a full wrap-up of my views — trade or no trade — this evening.
