Nationals Rumors: Guzman, Rauch, Holliday

By Tim Dierkes [July 19, 2008 at 11:14pm CST]

MLB.com's Bill Ladson has the goods on the Nationals.

The Nationals are currently negotiating with Cristian Guzman's agent on a possible extension. Last month, the Nats proposed a two-year extension. It's thought that Guzman might make some concessions given how little he gave the Nats in the first three years of his current contract. But if the two sides can't reach an agreement soon, the Nats may choose to trade Guzman.
Ladson also reports that the White Sox and Rays are scouting closer Jon Rauch. Rauch, you may recall, came up as a starter with the Sox and was traded to the Expos in '04. Kenny Williams made that deal with Omar Minaya.
Ladson's source confirmed mild interest in Colorado's Matt Holliday. Ladson notes Jim Bowden's fondness for Adam Dunn as well. However, the source considers the infield a greater need for the Nats.

Could the Sox part with Clayton Richards for Rauch?

It would take alot more than Richard to get a deal done for Rauch, At best Richard would be the third piece in a deal.

If the sox want any top notch player Rauch, Street or otherwise, I think it'll take something along the lines of Lance Broadway/Kyle McCulloch, Jose Martinez, and Clayton Richards, I think Richards is a throw in.

How could the Nationals actualy aquire Holliday? I think it would take Detwiller, Balester, and Marrero.
