Rumors for June 10th

[Jake83]

The Dodgers have some studs emerging in the outfield, but Ken Rosenthal says in his latest notes from around the bigs the Dodgers are still looking like the team most interested in getting Alfonso Soriano from the Nationals. Also, Carl Crawford is a hot commodity

Are there any rumors for Willis? I can't see him staying in Florida.
Also, why are the Phillies looking to trade Abreu or Burrel when they are competing?

Maybe they want better pitching? Other than that, I have no idea.

[Mattingly]

Anyone have links to these rumors?

How many first born children are the Dodgers willing to give up?

The Nationals new owners have announced their intention to rebuild the farm and strive for success from within. New soon-to-be GM Stan Kasten will want real prospects/high draft choices. Does L.A. have hopes of signing Sori past 2006? It would seem a waste to give the Nationals enough of what they want for Soriano if the Dodgers can't secure his services past this year.

Nationals are looking for a young SS and SP from what I heard-

What if the Dodgers gave Cesar Istruiz and Greg Miller(Top10 pitching prospect)

Angels from what I heard offered..... Erick Aybar(Top 50 prospect) and Joe Saunders a decent LHP

Why wouldn't we re-sign Soriano if we trade for him
I think the main prize is Carl Crawford and Soriano is a backup plan

St. Louis' chances of trading for Craig Wilson may have went out the window because Pittsburgh is looking for Anthony Reyes in return.

Zito is wanting a contract extension if he is traded

Phliadephia is coming through the minors looking fo a starter

So I guess I was right, then? Also, things are kind of looking gray for St. Louis for now since they can't really get Wilson.

"Source close to Tampa Bay's scouting department threw out the idea that Carl Crawford could be dealt. In particular, the Devil Rays had interest in 23 year-old righthander Ervin Santana. Despite new management since then, the rumor has picked up steam.

My source tells me that talks have resumed between the Devil Rays and Angels and the Halos may even consider adding a second prospect with Santana to acquire Crawford. Brandon Wood is a possibility.
The Rays would like to deal an outfielder now with a Delmon Young callup in the cards for September or Opening Day 2007.

In his sophomore season, Santana has sharpened his control and lessened his home run rate to become a solid #3 starter behind Kelvim Escobar and John Lackey. Component ERA says Santana's 4.32 ERA should actually be closer to 3.29 based on his peripherals.

Crawford is at .303/.349/.454 after 56 games, well ahead of PECOTA's .287/.321/.426 projection. He's signed for 2007-09 for a total of $17.5MM, while PECOTA puts his worth at about $21MM over those three seasons. The Rays know they can leverage their outfield surplus to add a solid young starter behind Scott Kazmir"
