Odds and Ends: Street, Zaun, Guardado, Blalock

Let’s round up some odds and ends for a rumor-packed day.

• The Reds had a scout at a recent Rangers-A’s game; they may have been eyeing a Texas catcher.
• Billy Beane is still fielding offers for Huston Street; Jon Heyman mentions the same teams we’ve heard in the past.
• Ed Wade told Miguel Tejada he’s staying put.
• Gregg Zaun would welcome a trade.  GM J.P. Ricciardi responded by saying "someone has to want you."  The Marlins could make sense; their catcher hunt may hinge on Matt Treanor’s decision whether to have surgery.
• John Maine has a mild rotator cuff strain.  I wonder if this will affect the chances of long-term extension talks with Maine.  Anyway, it’d make sense to bring in some rotation insurance.
• Geoff Baker says the Brewers, Marlins, and Tigers are eyeing Eddie Guardado.
• Hank Blalock is on the DL and off the trade market.
• Ken Davidoff believes the Mets are scouting George Sherrill.
