    What team is willing to pay the Nats' price, knowing it could be to simply rent Soriano and have him walk after the season?

    When I look at it, it seems like the Angels have the best situation to land Soriano, whether it be near the deadline or in free agency. He could replace Adam Kennedy at 2nd base or Garret Anderson in Left Field...the Angels definitely have something of a Latino atmosphere to their team with Vlad, Colon, K-Rod, etc. that would make Soriano feel comfortable (if I recall one of the reasons Vlad signed with the Angels is because of Arte Moreno), and you KNOW the fans would adore him because of the power he brings to the plate that the Angels are sorely lacking (outside of Vlad).

    Of course, the one thing that could hold everything up is Angels GM Bill Stoneman. He seems stubbornly unwilling to part with any of the minor league prospects the Angels have - and who knows, longterm that COULD be good for the Angels. Personally I'd be willing to part with a couple prospects if it meant landing Alfonso Soriano...

    Anyway, that's my take on it. I'm not even really an Angels fan, lol, it just seems like I've grown close to the team by playing with them in MVP 05 last year and MLB 06 this year.
    Rumor has it, the Angels aren't willing to give up two of their star prospects, and thats what Washington wants.

      Heard a rumor:

      Marlins send Dontrelle Willis to the Houston Astros in exchange for a combination of Willy Taveras, Chris Burke, Fernando Nieve, Taylor Buchholz, Wandy Rodriguez, and minor leaguers.

        heard also Omar is not against trading either Milledge or Pelfry if Willis is available...

          Pelfrey Can't be traded because I don't think he was signed that long ago (Something like that). I don't think Omar wants to trade Milledge, but I think he will listen if a marguee pitcher is being offered. At the end of the day, though, I think Milledge stays. I keep hearing the mets come up in Livan Hernandez talks.

            Heard that too.

            I heard Heilman and Milledge was a big rumor.

              I bet a team like Houston is reluctant to trade for someone like Alfonso Soriano unless they plan to sign him for fear of losing him after a few month rental. e.g., 2004 with Carlos Beltran.

                I think the Mets fans would have a hemorrage (sp) if Milledge is traded.

                  Not if it's for D-Train who is still under contract for 4 years and would probably put them over the top for a World Series.

                    The Braves must get some bull pen help, but at this point it doesn't look like any quality middle-to-late innings guys are available.

                      they could trade pelfrey as a player to be named later, that's how the tigers got Bonderman.

                        The only Orioles I see moving are Javy Lopez, Rodrigo Lopez, LaTroy Hawkins, and maybe Kris Benson. I don't really expect to get much back.

                          I'd love to see Kansas City trade Mike Sweeney for Derek Jeter, A-Rod, and Mariano Rivera. I am sure Brian Ca$hman isn't that dumb though.

                            Jim Hendry will trade the entire Cubs roster for the ringling bros and barnum bailey circus.

                                If anyone wants Chipper, he can be had for a sack of old nickels.
