Odds and Ends: Nady, LaHair, Garcia, Bonds

Baseball is back today, but rumors are a bit light.  We'll kick it off with odds and ends.

• Susan Slusser reports "rumblings" around Justin Duchscherer.  As you know, Duke hopes to sign an extension with the A's but they'll wait until after the season.
• The Nationals signed second round pick Destin Hood. 
• Matt Holliday has heard rumors about a trade to the A's.  I believe this originated as Ken Rosenthal speculation on June 22nd.
• Xavier Nady doesn't want to be traded, and has been "visibly bugged" by the recent rumors.  Still, he and Damaso Marte are the most likely trade candidates for the Pirates.
• D.J. Carrasco actually does have an option left, so the White Sox can demote Carrasco or Adam Russell to Triple A but keep both.
• Ryan Divish heard a rumor that first baseman Bryan LaHair will get the call to the Majors.  What will the corresponding roster move be for the Mariners?
• Jon Paul Morosi takes a look at the Tigers' most tradeable prospects, noting that several are currently injured.
• A Freddy Garcia update.  His agent says they might be receptive to a multiyear deal, but prefer one year.  He previously said a club option was not in the cards.
• NPB Tracker looks at the pros and cons of Barry Bonds signing with the Softbank Hawks.
• Jim Moore thinks the Mariners should trade Ichiro.
