Wow. Anthony Gose for Brett Wallace? Good deal for Houston.

Jason A. Churchill -- MLB Draft Blog/Rumor Central:
This just came down the wire, AJB, good catch. This is a good deal for Houston. Wallace can hit, and is likely Lance Berkman's successor in Houston now. Wallace has been traded three times now.

We have to think the Astros might be aggressively shopping Berkman now.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

[Butcher]

Does Jason A. Churchill have to end every other sentence with the word "now?"

[ColoradoCub]

Funny, Keith Law was just ragging on Wallace calling him overrated.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Here are all the rumors from sources, insiders and "reports" ...

9:53 p.m. – The Diamondbacks will also send Justin Upton to the Angels as part of the Dan Haren deal.

9:55 p.m. – According to sources, the Astros would like J.A. Happ to go by Jay Happ because J.A. is kind of stupid.

10:01 p.m. – Teams are balking at Milwaukee’s demands for Prince Fielder and also the per diem it costs to feed him each day.

10:04 p.m. – Arizona is now also including Chris Young in the Haren deal. And they will pick up the salaries on Haren, Upton, Young and a future Angels free agent signing to be named.

22:11 – According to front office sources, Philadelphia general manager Ruben Amaro, Jr. has absolutely no idea what he’s doing.

22:14 – Did you hear about Rick Pitino saying he jizzed on his leg? Ridiculous.

7:19 p.m. PT – The Orioles have called a telephone service technician because they are getting absolutely zero calls about their players.

8:27 p.m. MT – Turns out the phones in Baltimore are working fine. Their players just blow.

22:39 – Jayson Werth doesn’t have a no-trade clause. But if he did, he reportedly would not want to be traded to the Royals.

03:53 London – According to numerous sources, Tony LaRussa is demanding the Cardinals acquire a nice bottle of merlot.

Stardate 220730.0140 -- A guy on sports radio in New York has just proposed the dumbest trade ever. Even dumber than the previous caller.

11:01 p.m. – The Tigers are looking to acquire a player to be named later and they would like that player to be named Max Armstrong because that name sounds badass.

10:07 p.m. CT – Some reliever just got dealt. No one cares.

11:15 p.m. – Nationals outfielder Nyjer Morgan is getting a lot of interest, but only because GMs like to say his name.

23:44 – The Nationals are hoping to deal Adam Dunn, as they feel having him on another team will give Stephen Strasburg another 1,000 or so career strikeouts.

12:04 a.m. – The Yankees are not thought to be heavy buyers at the trade deadline. They will instead buy all the best available players in the off-season without sacrificing any prospects.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
