#WhiteSox listening to "everything," source says. Have not completely ruled out Jeff Samardzija trade -- and open to adding, too.

#Nats could be a possibility for cespedes. mike rizzo loves him. mets also make sense. price tag understandably high.

Adage to remember today (from one GM): Buyers make more mistakes than sellers because buyers are more emotional. Sellers are more rational

Yep, and this is why I would rarely be much of a buyer at the deadline, even with a contending team.

But we are the ones who look emotional in the Wood deal, and we look like we made the mistake.

Really, really hope one of them goes for it. He's a decent piece, nothing more, will be gone after this year, and you'd have to give up something of value.

Put your seat belts on there will be a flurry of trades that are done but won't be announced until final hour according to several GMs

Cubs get Haren.

Its a damn arms race out there. These teams better hope these moves pay off. Jeez.

I don't really understand that one. I assume they didn't really give up anything, but Haren is not good.
