    Yep, definitely rumors with that. TB claims he has a bruised finger. If he goes to the Blue Jays, where do you envision he will hit in the lineup? I really hope he goes to the Mets and not Toronto (he's never going to run in Toronto), but the Mets don't seem to really need him now.


    Any truth to the rumors out there about a Gil Meche for Aaron Heilman swap?

      I doubt it. I read about it last night but haven't seen any media outlets even mention it. Plus it doesn't make much sense for the Mariners to trade thier best starter for a reliever/unproven starter.

        If Lugo goes to Toronto he will likely bat leadoff, something the Jays have needed all year.

        With Seattle only 4 games back in the west i would not expect them to trade Meche. However, if they are any more than 4 games back by monday then maybe.

        Aaron Heilman could be part of a deal with the Diamondbacks, the Mets are supposedly interested in Miguel Batista and Juan Cruz. I can't see the D'backs trading Batista since he is their second best starting pitcher.

        Another D'backs rumor says that they are interested in Jake Westbrook of the Indians. They even liken him to Brandon Webb as they are both groundball pitchers and the Diamondbacks believe Westbrook could be very successfull in Arizona.

        The Astros are reportedly trying to work out a deal for Pirates reliever Damaso Marte.

          I hope we deal Meche.

          He is an injury waiting to happen, and with pitching at a premium, we could get something good.

            Uh? check out the stats man! Reed Johnson is in the top 5 OBP for leadoff hitters in MLB (or at least the AL) so no the Jays don't need a leadoff hitter.

              LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Los Angeles Dodgers dealt pitcher Odalis Perez to the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday, nearly two weeks after saying they had no plans to trade the disgruntled left-hander.

              The Dodgers also sent minor league right-handers Blake Johnson and Julio Pimental and cash considerations to the Royals for right-hander Elmer Dessens.
              Ok I know they're not contenders but I like this trade from the Royals standpoint.

                It is true, but if I were a Jays fan, I would like to see Lugo leading off with that speed.

                  Since this thread hasn't seen much action, I thought I'd update a little. There was a rumor floating around a few days ago that Gil Meche was traded to the Mets for Aaron Heilman I belive but I haven't heard anything since.

                  In news today, Phillies trade Sal Fasano to the Yankees for minor league second baseman Hector Made.

                  Also, recently Tony Graffanino went to the Brew Crew and the Royals got Jorge De Le Rosa in return.

                    Mariners trade Sin Soo Choo OF to the Indians for Ben Broussard.

                        - Linebrink for Betemit or Josh Fields
                        - Also they are in talks in acquiring a starting pitcher to move Clay Hensley back to set-up to Hoffman.
                        - OF might be acquired as well.

                          That starting pitcher is reportedly Greg Maddux according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

                            I too have heard a few places rumor that the Dodgers and Padres are front runners for Maddux.

                              There's a Wilson Betemit-for-Scott Proctor rumor going around today.

                              Just say NO, Schuerholz!

                                I'd rather deal Betemit for Linebrink.
