The Indians have called on Ryan Ludwick, and their interest in Coco Crisp has been renewed:

An interestingly low rate, compared to the other sports I follow.

Oh, I see.

The Mets probably won't trade Isringhausen now, says Jon Heyman:

That makes two Mets off the market, along with Jose Reyes.

Are there rumors of Beltran going to Philly?

Are there rumors of Beltran going to Philly?

For today, not any specific ones.

I'm not big on a Beltran deal even though he's doing good this season. I would rather stick with Mayberry/Francisco than trade a top prospect for Beltran on a rental.

According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, the Phillies would prefer to structure any of their offers for Astros' outfielder Hunter Pence around right-hander Vance Worley.

--Why in the world would the Astros want Him?

Phillies would center any offer for Pence from the Astros around Vance Worley:

Why trade him now? Not only is he not having a good season, but he would not be nearly enough.
I don't see the pressing need for an outfielder as much as a reliever.

Fredi Gonzalez says the Braves want a RH hitter who can play all OF positions. That probably leaves out Gomes, right? Can he field, Reds fans?

Yeah not very well, I would think Ludwick or Willingham would be good fits. Ludwick was always a good fielder in St. Louis and they played him in all 3 spots.

Even though Inge will be only a call-up away from returning to the big league club, I don't envision him playing in Detroit for the rest of this year... or maybe ever.
Kruza

I would think at the absolute latest he'd be back in September, I can't see them not bringing him back when rosters expand.

Mike Adams shot down the report by Yahoo Sports that claimed Jeff Moorad told him that he would not be traded:

The Phillies have been scouting Beltran, and the Mets have been scouting the Braves' system:

If I'm Houston, I rather ask for Jarred Cosart than Vance Worley. Didn't they learn with Happ last year?

Re: 2011 MLB Trade Deadline Thread

Kyle Blanks has been recalled from AAA Tuscon. This means either Rizzo is going down or Ludwick got traded.

Please let it be Ludwick to the Indians.

We need an outfielder now.

If the Phillies trade Singleton for a reliever...

I I can see it now..Singleton for Brandon League

Not unless the M's move Singleton to the outfield.
