Trade Discussions

• D'Backs GM Josh Burns thinks that It'll will be a busy August around the leagues. The D'Backs could be very busy this upcoming month.
  
• The Scott Rolen deal is very shocking with the Reds 9.5 games out of first place.
• Thank god the Roy Halladay saga is over! Wait, Wait, its not over! Expect it to get even bigger this off-season.
• It's great that the White Sox got Jake Peavy, but he's still injured. He's coming of a 2008 season with elbow issues, and 2009 with an ankle problem that is still inured. Peavy is owed $56MM through 2012, or $74MM through 2013 if the Sox exercise his option. "Frankly I am flabbergasted that the White Sox would want to make this deal with him in his physical condition," Axelrod said.
