Padres Acquire Miguel Tejada

The newest San Diego Padre.

The newest San Diego Padre.

The Baltimore Orioles have agreed to send Miguel Tejada to the San Diego Padres in return for right handed pitching prospect Wynn Pelzer. Tejada is hitting .269/.308/.362 with 7 home runs and 39 RBI's. The deal was likely made to add some offense to the Padres and to help the ailing infield, with David Eckstein on the DL.

Wynn Pelzer is 6-9 with a 4.20 ERA in AA San Antonio this season. Opposing hitters are batting .277 against the hurler, with lefties hitting .298 and righties hitting .263 against him. Pelzer was the seventh rated Orioles prospect going into the season.

Orioles prospect Josh Bell has been called up to replace Tejada on the Orioles roster.

It's Official: Phillies acquire Roy Oswalt

The Phillies have acquired pitcher Roy Oswalt from the Astros for pitcher J.A. Happ, infielder Jonathan Villar, and outfielder Anthony Gose. The Astros will pay 11 million of the 23 million remaining on his contract through 2011, and his 2012 mutual option is still up in the air, contrary to reports that he demanded it be exercised if a deal goes through. 

The Astros actually made a corresponding move by sending Gose to the Blue Jays for first baseman Brett Wallace. Wallace, now with his fourth team, is having a great year posting a .301 average with 18 home runs and 61 RBIs. Wallace was drafted by the Cardinals, then traded to the A's in the Matt Holliday trade, then shipped to the Blue Jays in a corresponding move after the Roy Halladay trade, and is now with the Astros. 

Gose is hitting just .263 but has already stole 36 bases and 28 extra-base hits. He projects down the road as a solid lead off hitter. I'm surprised the Jays gave up Wallace for a guy like Gose. Gose will be very beneficial for the club, but Wallace has the type of power that you do not find very often. It looks like the Astros made a great deal.

Villar is also a fast infielder, posting a .272 average and 38 stolen bases in 100 games this season. He is still in Class-A, but he could be a solid infielder for a big league club in the future.

According to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, the Boston Red Sox are "digging deep" for a reliever to add before the Trade Deadline.

The Red Sox are looking into all possibilities which includes Rafael Perez, Will Ohman, Mike Gonzalez, Matt Capps, Michael Wuertz, Craig Breslow, Sean Marshall, Kerry Wood, David Aardsma and Kyle Farnsworth.

Ken Rosenthal adds also that the Red Sox could go after Brewers reliever and All-Time saves leader Trevor Hoffman.  But the Brewers are not looking to move him.

Cafardo doesn't believe the Red Sox will go after Blue Jays reliever Scott Downs unless the price comes down. 

He also still believes that the Red Sox are looking to move reliever Ramon Ramirezat the deadline as well.  The Red Sox tried to trade him to the Mets for catcher Rod Barajas.

According to ESPN's Tim Kurkjian, the Baltimore Orioles have found their next manager as they have decided to hire former D'Backs and Yankees manager and current ESPN analyst Buck Showalter.

In Showalter's career, he is has a managerial record of 882-833 as he has managed for the Diamondbacks, Rangers, and Yankees in his career.

Showalter's first game as manager will be at home against the Angels, the first of a seven game home stand for the O's.

Showalter has not managed in the big leagues since 2005 with the Rangers.  He won Manager of Year twice, one with the Yankees and one with the Rangers.

 According to Clark Spencer of MLB.com (via Twitter), the Rangers are close to acquiring Marlins corner infielder Jorge Cantu.

The Rangers will reportedly pick up most of Cantu's salary if not all of it. 

Cantu will likely go the Texas and platoon with first baseman Chris Davis and provide the power hitting bat they have been looking for.  The Cantu move will likely cap the deadline for the Rangers as they have already acquired catcher Bengie Molina from the Giants and starting ace Cliff Lee from the Mariners.

Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt will reportedly accept the proposed trade to the Phillies. Reports are throwing all sorts of names around, but from what I gather, pitcher J.A. Happ and prospect Jon Singleton will definitely be included in the deal. Singleton, 18, is quite a steal for the Astros.

Report: Roy Oswalt to Phillies pending pitchers approval

According to reports in Houston, the Phillies and Astros have a deal in place that would send Roy Oswalt to the Phillies. The teams have already selected which players the Astros wold acquire and how much money would be exchanged, but the report did not specify which players or how much money the Astros will throw into the deal. 

Oswalt has put up solid numbers this year, as shown by his numbers below. 


W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2010 - Roy Oswalt 6-12 20 20 1 1 0 0 129.0 109 52 49 13 34 120 3.42 1.11

He would greatly benefit the Phillies this year and next, and is much better suited for Citizen Bank Park than Cubs pitcher Ted Lilly, who is also considered very likely to be on the move this week.

According to FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, the Colorado Rockies have decided that they will be sellers come the July 31st Trade Deadline.

The Rockies were rumored to be in the hunt for Marlins' corner infielder Jorge Cantu, but the team has pulled out of the race as the Rangers or Giants remain the likely destination for Cantu.

The Rockies will look to move starting pitcher Aaron Cook, first baseman/outfielder Brad Hawpe, and reliever Joe Beimel

The market for Cook doesn't look very good.  The Phillies appear to be the only suitor for Cook, but they are currently in talks to acquire Roy Oswalt from the Astros.

Beimel could attract interest as he has had a nice year and is left handed.  A team like the Red Sox or Yankees could look into Beimel as the price for Scott Downs appears to high for their tastes.

Hawpe, could draw interest, however it is more likely to be moved in August via waivers

Poll
Do you think the Rockies should become sellers?
