…so, most of the league’s general managers, including Omar Minaya, are set to leave Nashville within the next few hours…meanwhile, Johan Santana is still on the Twins, Dan Haren is still on the A’s, and Erik Bedard is still on the Orioles…
…the final bit of buzz, which is supported by logic, suggests that the Twins [...]

In Newsday, citing ‘one person in the loop,’ Ken Davidoff says that the Orioles are not yet ready to ‘fully discuss’ Erik Bedard, while adding that the A’s may seek John Maine from the Mets, should they decide to trade Dan Haren.

…as i wrote this morning, i’m starting to [...]

According to Jon Heyman from SI.com, the Mets and Dodgers are at the ‘forefront of talks’ involving Orioles LHP Erik Bedard.
…well, this is interesting, because the Dodgers are also interested in Marlins 3B Miguel Cabrera, who will likely cost a similar package as needed to get bedard…damn, this is all connected…
In a post to ESPN.com, [...]

According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, “The loser of the Santana Sweepstakes between the Yankees and Red Sox would likely turn their attention to A’s starter Danny Haren, who is on the block.”
…actually, from what i understand, if the Sox do not acquire santana, they’re not looking to trade for haren, or even for Erik [...]

The Mets have contacted the Marlins about LHP Dontrelle Willis, the Astros about RHP Roy Oswalt and the Brewers about RHP Ben Sheets, but have been told these pitchers are not available, writes Dan Graziano in the Star-Ledger.

A’s RHP Dan Haren, on trade rumors, as quoted by the San Francisco Chronicle…

“I pay attention to it.  I read the newspaper, and I’m all over the Internet all the time for fantasy football and to see the trade rumors.  I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened, once the whole Santana thing becomes more clear…
The [...]

…i’m sensing two schools of thought coming from Team Omar in Nashville…the first, trade any player short of David Wright and Jose Reyes to get O’s RHP Erik Bedard or A’s RHP Dan Haren…or, instead, split up their prospects, add a major leaguer or two, and try to acquire two mid-level pitchers, like A’s RHP Joe Blanton as [...]

During an interview with WFAN yesterday, Mets GM Omar Minaya said he talked to the ‘Orioles and A’s,’ among other teams, before trading Lastings Milledge.

Here are suggested trade proposals concerning the Mets:
Lastings Milledge, Mike Pelfrey and Phil Humber for Johan [...]

…there is more and more buzz out of Oakland suggesting that the A’s will not seriously field offers for Dan Haren until the Twins make a decision on Johan Santana, which is probably the smart way to go…once santana is set, the A’s will first consider moving haren, but oakland may look to acquire a [...]
