Happy Non-Waiver Trade Deadline Day!
Today at 3:00, the non-waiver trade deadline ends. HJE will do what it can to keep you abreast of the rumors which develop in the next 5 hours or so. Hee hee. “Abreast.” Please feel free to comment on the rumors as well as add what you’re hearing in the comments.
- Jermaine Dye might need to change his Sox.
- Blowhard Jay Mariotti says that Jim Hendry needs to do more if he wants his team to win the World Series. Meaning Hendry should probably do the exact opposite and stand pat.
- If Hendry does decide to make a move, Paul Sullivan suggests Jeff Conine, Rocco Baldelli, and Steve fucking Kline. He gets paid to write this stuff, people.

Bad Kermit If Kline becomes a Cub, no matter what he does, he is IMMEDIATELY in the top 5 of the B126. Why don’t they try to get Matt Morris and Robert Fick while they’re at it?
In a Nutsack UPDATE:
The Yanks and Dodgers just swapped Scott Proctor and Wilson Betimit.

In a Nutsack RUMOR:

Bad Kermit Good ones, IAN.
Hmm. As a part-time Twins fan, I’ve always sort of liked Silva, even though he’s really only had one good year. He’d probably be a better second-half option than Marquis, honestly. In his career, his ERA is .40 lower in the 2nd half. Hmm. HMMMMMMM.
raymon322 I would like Silva, but we wont do that, we will get Conine, and thats it. Well him and somebody named Wood later in the week.
In a Nutsack RUMOR:
The Cubs are still being linked to Eric Gagne.

PenFoe I’m going to pretend I didn’t read anything on this site that involved the words “Rocco” and “Baldelli”
Cause that sucks.
TDubbs Two Words (one of them probably misspelled b/c i didn’t want to look it up b/c i’m lazy)
Damaso Marte
raymon322 Marte would be good, and we could probably give them some bum for them, considering they are our minor league affiliate.

Braves offer Jo-Jo Reyes for Bronson Arroyo.

In a Nutsack RUMOR:
The Mets could offer prospect Carlos Gomez and a pitching talent for the Nationals’ Chad Cordero. The Nats would likely ask for Lastings Milledge in return.

PenFoe Rotoworld now reporting Brewers and Red Sox are finalists for Gagne.

In a Nutsack RUMOR:
The Mets have reportedly offered Phillup Humber for Chad Cordero. I have Humber on my team for MLB 2K7. He’s pretty good.

In a Nutsack TRADE:
The Padres have acquired Morgan Ensberg from the Astros. No report on the return to Houston as of yet. Buster Olney is the source.
Bad Kermit Yeah, they’re my AL team. I like them, and the Sox hate them. It’s a match made in heaven.
Jack Looks like Steve Kline is still a Giant. I can douse my torch and put down my pitchfork. I sure do hate me some Steve Kline.
Bad Kermit The Braves got Royce Ring, too.
Man, Atlanta had a pretty busy couple of days. At only 2.5 out of the WC and 4.5 out of the NL East, you can’t really fault them for being aggressive as hell.
