Blalock's bum shoulder knocks him off trading block
Texas Rangers' 3B Hank Blalock is scheduled to have shoulder surgery next week, a move that could keep him on the sidelines for up to three months. Blalock has been a solid offensive threat for the Rangers for several years now, and was recently mentioned in several trade rumors. Presumably, this news will halt speculations [...]
Keep the faith or fold? Glaus and Overbay could be on the block
The woes of May have continued for the Toronto Blue Jays, but J.P. Ricciardi is standing firm while rumors of fire sales and reloads swirl around the baseball blogosphere. Troy Glaus was the hot spot on the trade rumor radar last week, but the recent aggrevation of a bone spur in his heel could hamper [...]
Doc Halladay hits the DL
It was apparent that Roy Halladay didn't have his stuff in yesterday's 8-0 loss to the Red Sox, but I doubt anyone could have predicted that the cause was acute appendicitis: Halladay latest to join Blue Jays' infirmary. Woe is me, the Jays pitching staff is really falling apart!

Don't trade Rios or Lind!
There's mention of a Blue Jays fire sale over at MLB Trade Rumors. Sure, the Jays have been slumping but it's barely May and there's talk of a major reload? Whatever goes down, I just hope J.P. doesn't part with Alex or Adam. Rios just opened the Jays half of the first inning against the [...]
Rays might hold key to Dodgers' big bat woes
Ken Rosenthal has a new piece up this morning that highlights the Dodgers' desperate need for a big bat. How desperate, you ask?
