So far the rumor mill hasn't been as active as usual for this time of the year but we've heard a lot of grumblings from Teixeira to the Braves/Angels, Buehrle to the Brewers and others until he signed that four year extension to the stay in South Side Chicago, and then others like Dunn, Dotel, Gagne, Dye, etc.
We've heard that GM's who are sellers are hoping to cash in like what has became an expected event at the deadline but then GM's looking to buy aren't willing to give up the kind of talent the sellers are seeking making this a buyers market in the end (as some will crack.) So what's the deal this year? Personally, I think if Teixeira goes, this deadline action will start to heat up as prices will be set for talent below his level and if he went to the Braves in the NL East, the Phillies and the Mets will feel obligated to make corresponding moves to nullify the effect of the Braves getting a slugger like that.
Do you guys anticipate it will remain slow or is everyone saying they want to trade, want to improve but no one has the guts to potentially overpay in a big way if no other GM's will follow suit? Or could there be the first proverbial domino to fall (whether it's Tex or not) to get the action going hot and heavy?
