Buzz: Expect Blanton to stay with A’s

by Matthew Cerrone on January 14th, 2008 at 4:14 pm

In a report for MLB.com, an A’s source said Monday he’s expecting RHP Joe Blanton to be Oakland’s opening day starting pitcher.

…as i wrote this morning, the recent buzz from Oakland suggests that the A’s are seeking a very specific type of package in exchange for blanton…my sense is that they’ll only pull the trigger on a deal if it meets that mark, otherwise they’ll revisit trade talks in late summer

The report also details the health of Braves RHP Mike Gonzalez, the latest on Erik Bedard, and the state of the Rolen-for-Glaus trade, among other MLB notes.
