According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pirates OF Xavier Nady may be placed on the disabled list with a Grade 1 sprain in in his left shoulder.
Nady injured his shoulder when he crashed into the right-field wall Saturday night while trying to catch a fly ball.
He is hitting .310 with 28 extra base hits and 49 RBI in 66 games for the Pirates this season.
In a recent report for the Post-Gazette, Dejan Kovacevic wrote that the Pirates are far more likely to trade Nady than OF Jason Bay, assuming either become available.
However, in his latest Rumblings & Grumblings column for ESPN.com, Jayson Stark wrote that neither player is likely to be traded as the Pirates attempt to finish around .500.
Meanwhile, according to the Daily Herald, citing ‘a source within the organization,’ 1B Richie Sexson will soon be released by the Mariners.
Sexson, 33, is batting just .209 with 27 HR and 88 RBI in his last 178 games, while striking out 165 times.

The trade market will be dry… Mets will be lucky to win 85 games this season unless you overpay for Matt Holliday if the Rockies elect to make him this year’s Mark Texeira.
Overpaying just isn’t an issue at this point. You pay anything for a big bat right now.
The issue is that we don’t have anything to overpay with comparable to other teams.
Come on, don’t be ridiculous.
We have Tony Armas, Jr. and Anderson Hernandez.
Haha, and the might Valentino Pujols, er, I mean Pascucci (it’s easy to confuse the two).
mighty, of course, not might… Damn you elusive “y”!!
Woah..Whlie I agree with that philosophy finacially, Holliday is going to cost prospects.
I know this will be blasphemy here, but why not include F-Mart in a trade? He hasn’t produced much at AA, and has a history of injury issues. I just don’t want to miss out on a great young player (not necessarily Holliday) because we won’t consider trading him.
Dont get Holliday at all. Look at his road splits, no thanks. RH version of Shawn Green.
“He hasn’t produced much at AA, and has a history of injury issues.”
In other words, his trade value is at an all-time low.
Yes he has look at his month splits. he was tearing it up in AA before he got injured.
Why not sign Bonds? He’s better than anyone that might be available, and all it requires giving up is cash.
by the way, kyle kendrick gave up 4 runs in the first inning against boston including homers from JD Drew and Mike Lowell
Sign ‘em up
We should sign Sexson - we need more poor defensive infielders who can’t hit curveballs.
I wouldn’t support the addition of Richie Sexson unless we were assured that he would be back taking steroids as he did a few years back.
Why do that? We could always just put Delgado back on the juice and not have to fork over any more money.
Ray Ramirez needs to get to work.
While I do agree - putting Delgado on a consistent steroid regiment would do wonders for his production - I can’t say I personally think the guy has ever juiced. He had been one of baseball’s top sluggers for years and years - power and average - and I just don’t think he ever juiced. Sexson, on the other hand, well I’d have a hard time believing he never juiced. Dude hit 40 homers out of no where and never even approached that again. JUUIIIICAHHHH
haha….sexson is also like 7 ft tall. traditional power hitter build.
Oh those were Sexon’s numbers? I thought that was Delgado…
Jerry will save us all.
Fire Jerry!
there you go again…
Nady = Good.
Sexson = Delgado = Bad.
Actually, i think Delgado is better than Sexson right now. Sexson is clearly a case of steroids gone bad. Omar is smart enough to go nowhere near this guy.
He will, however, see what he can work out with the Pirates in a trade for Xavier Nady.
At least, he better.
Not if he goes on the DL. I don’t know how long a grade 1 strain would put him out for..(Where is Pagan? Isn’t he having a shoulder issue?) but you can’t trade for a player on the DL.
Pagan is probably inflicting wounds on himself to avoid jumping into this mess.
Priceless…
For some reason the Mets fans on here have an affinity for Xavier Nady. Sure he’s hitting .300 (at the moment) thus far but over his career he’s been anything but a consistent power threat. What’s with the love fest for Nady? Just because he was on the team for a while and plunked some homers? Fans talk about him like he’s going to come in here and make a legitimate difference. It’s quite odd.
Grass is always Greener.
btw, Heath Bell is god and Ruben Gotay is going to hit .400.
Heath Bell isn’t god, but he is awfully good. Maybe you just forgot an “o.”

I liked it better with the italics :-)
Am I the only one who has gotten a kick out of the comment moderator? I think it’s hilarious.
it is sometimes pretty funny and interesting to see how people rephrase the same thought
He is the #5 hitter we so desperately need. No one needs him to blast 40 homers - we just need him to protect Wright and Beltran and drive some damn runs in…and he’s been pretty good at that the past few years…
Isn’t Ryan Church - he of the .300 average and 10 homers in less than 2 months the #5 hitter we desperately need?
