More August Trade Candidates

• Doug Davis and Jon Garland 
• Heath Bell – An unlikely trade candidate, since he's sure to be claimed, but he could be dealt even if he's claimed (to the NL team with the worst record among all claiming teams).
• Lyle Overbay – He makes $7MM next year, a deterrent for possible suitors.
• Justin Duchscherer – Some health concerns remain, as he hasn't pitched in the majors this year.  
• Kevin Millar, Nomar Garciaparra and Jason Giambi – Veteran bats for the playoffs.
• Jamey Carroll – Mark Teahen's another utility type, but he's less likely to be dealt than Carroll.  
• Carl Pavano – Just don't expect the Yankees to come calling. 
• Arthur Rhodes and David Weathers  
• Miguel Batista 

  Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times looks into Mariners trade candidates:

• Russell Branyan won't clear waivers, but the Mariners could consider dealing six weeks of Branyan to the claiming team for a decent prospect.
• Like Duchscherer, Erik Bedard has to prove he's healthy before anyone will commit to him.
• Baker expects the Mariners to try to move Adrian Beltre. They won't want to offer him arbitration after the season and risk paying him $14MM or so next year, so now's their chance to get a return for Beltre. They would almost certainly have to pick up salary in the process.
