After the Gio Gonzalez trade, much ado was made about remaining starters potentially available for trade, and one name that continues to be at the top is Jair Jurrjens of the Atlanta Braves. And though the Red Sox are reportedly looking for a starter (and should be!), they are now out on any potential moves to acquire him according to Jon Heyman.
Jurrjens' market now centers around the Baltimore Orioles (a rumor dating back at least a couple weeks), the Toronto Blue Jays, the Colorado Rockies, and the Detroit Tigers. The issue now -- same as it was with Baltimore a couple weeks ago -- is that Atlanta reportedly wants a Greinke-like deal and expects to be blown away with any accepted offers:
