Odds and Ends: Mets, Cardinals, Phillies, Tigers

Today’s links.

• Mets manager Jerry Manuel expects a move, most likely for a left fielder.
• Baseball Prospectus’ Kevin Goldstein wrote Saturday about the remaining unsigned draft picks.  BP is free for all this week, by the way.
• Cardinals GM John Mozeliak faces a tough situation – he doesn’t have much time before the trade deadline to determine what Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright will contribute.
• Don McKee believes the Phillies should sell the farm for Matt Holliday and Brian Fuentes.
• Jon Paul Morosi notes that the Tigers might be able to trade Ivan Rodriguez in August.  He also says that Edgar Renteria’s ’09 option is for $12MM, not $11MM as was previously reported.
• Jacob Jackson thinks the Athletics should trade most of their remaining chips for one player: Colby Rasmus.
