Trade Predictions

Now that we are a week away from the trade deadline, here are my trade predictions.
Dan Haren: Traded to the Yankees for Ivan Nova, Zach McAllister, and two other prospects. This deal is being discussed right now and the Dbacks want to trade Haren by Tuesday. It is a fair deal and I can see the Dbacks biting. Maybe the Yankees take on Chad Qualls as well or get Rusty Ryal and make one of the prospects better.
Roy Oswalt: Not traded. The Astros demands and the Cardinals and Phillies unwillingness to agree to the demands seem like they will not change.
Ted Lilly: Traded to either the Tigers, Dodgers, or Mets. Sorry for the lack of a real prediction here, but reports are so contradictory on Lilly that I can only predict that he will be traded to one of the three.
Adam Dunn, Lance Berkman, Jake Westbrook: All will stay with their current teams.
Jayson Werth: Traded to the Red Sox. This is my bold prediction, the Red Sox realize they're in trouble in the division and wild card races and go out and get a big name.
Other predictions: Diamondbacks start a fire sale and trade Adam Laroche and Kelly Johnson. Yankees acquire bench and relief help. Red Sox acquire a reliever. Bobby Jenks is almost traded but stays put.

I think the Giants get Will Ohman
Both their lefties are currently on the DL. Hopefully he comes over with Luke Scott.
I could also see the Orioles dealing Jeremy Guthrie & Ty Wigginton to the Twins-that would clear up their problems at 3B and in the rotation.
I’ll say Lilly goes to the Mets.
I agree with Werth to the Red Sox.
Haren, Oswalt, Berkman, Dunn & Fielder stay put.

Haren stays put?
Why do you say that? Diamondbacks seem very put on trading him by Tuesday.
I think Lilly would be a terrible fit for the Tigers….interesting scenario with the O’s Twins, that could work
A player I want the Yankees to get: Russell Branyan

I don't think ownership will give DiPoto the authority to trade Haren
Branyan could be a very good fit at Yankee stadium-but apparently Wakamatsu really likes him, so I dunno if the M’s will want to move him.

Then trade for Wakamatsu too!
He can be the 5th starter!

LOL-He doesn't fight doors-just his second baseman!

Agree with Gobroks on Haren
He has the Twins and Tigers on his no trade list. I imagine that the Yankees are on that list as well. If Haren is traded, I can see the Dodgers or Rangers biting.
Dodgers can't take on the contract
Doubt the Dbacks want to eat any of it themselves. Same goes for the Rangers

No player, if told by his team, were sending you to the Yankees, would say no.
Only player i can remember not wanting to come to NY is Randy Johnson, and then even he came. No player with half a brain in their head would put the Yankees on a No trade list… theres too much money to be made as a Yankee. Besides, if Haren had the Yankees on a no trade list… it would be a moot point, and there would be no trade discussions between the teams.. cmon! think before you speak.
Off the top of my head
He seems like a good fit for the Dodgers. I dunno if he gets moved though

Wow I totally forgot about Myers
I think he goes to the Mets or Dodgers. As Gobroks said, he is a great fit for the Dodgers, but that hasn’t really been talked about much in the rumor mill

I have a hard time seeing the Astros not backing off regarding Oswalt/Berkman
If only out of desperation, they’ll move at least one of them. Houston is really, really bad at both the major league level and at AAA. There’s not a great deal of hopeful talk about AA either. I see one or both going for a mess of A-level prospects.
Usqueadbaugham! Anam muck an dhoul ! Did ye drink me doornail?
I agree, but Ed Wade is a maniac when it comes to trading
They should move Berkman for whatever they can get

That much is true
Agreed on Berkman, too. He’s the sort of bat the Yankees might have picked up around now in the 90’s. Is there anyone out there really looking for someone like that now, though?

Hmm good question
Maybe the Giants?
