We’re in July and there are definitely going to be some trades. I wanted to see what everyone else thought and maybe see things I’m overlooking or haven’t heard.
The Nationals said that they’re not going to have a “firesale”, but they also said no one is “untouchable”. I don’t think Ryan Zimmermann needs to worry, but I could see Nick Johnson, Adam Dunn, Josh Willingham, and Elijah Dukes maybe relocating. For Dunn I have read that the Giants and Red Sox are both interested in him. I think Boston would be a perfect fit and that Dunn would thrive there. He would be on a good team with protection in the line up and could explode.
There are rumors of a potential Indians firesale as well. With players like Victor Martinez, Jhonny Peralta, Cliff Lee, and Kerry Wood being able to help some teams out. Adding any of these players could really add a boost to a team. I’m not too sure where they might be heading, but I have also read that the Red Sox may be interested in Martinez to play 1B.
Roy Halladay being on the market is big. I can’t imagine what teams don’t want to add him, but I think he ends up staying. I figure the Yankees could potentially make a ridiculous offer that no other team could match. That would mean either the Jays trade him to a division rival or hold onto him.
The Reds are looking for a 3B. If the Nats would truly be willing to move Zimmermann, I think the Reds should consider putting an offer together. With Votto and Zimmermann at the hot corners and Jay Bruce, that could be a good young nucleus of position players.
Now that the Cubs have an agreement in place for the sale of the team, could the new owners okay new payroll and allow the Cubs to go after Peavy or Halladay? I think the Cubs may even entertain the idea of going after a bat.
Feel free to add your thoughts on these and other rumors.
