Cafardo’s Latest: Oswalt, DeJesus, Aardsma, LaRoche

By Luke Adams 2 | June 20, 2010 at 11:19am CDT

There are a handful of big names that could be moved before this July's trading deadline, and Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe opens his latest column by taking a look at some of the possibilities. Let's check out the highlights from Cafardo's piece….

  • There's skepticism within the Astros' organization that owner Drayton McLane would want to trade Roy Oswalt to the Rangers, baseball's other Texas team.
  • The return the Royals are requesting in exchange for David DeJesus is higher than any team is willing to pay for now.
  • Mariners closer David Aardsma is "already drawing a lot of interest."
  • Pedro Feliz, Willie Bloomquist, and Jay Payton could be small-scale trade bait.
  • Adam LaRoche on his brief time as a Red Sox: "The ballpark was perfectly suited for the way I swing, and it would have been nice to have stayed there and see what would have happened over a full year."

    I completely agree with Adam on his statement. Him and the Green Monster would have been best friends. I also think he would have led the league in doubles if he stayed with the Red Sox.

      He has the ugliest swing I’ve ever seen.

        I agree, but in the stat book a hit is a hit.

          I actually wondered if that is exactly what happened, they got him and saw that swing then sent him packing.

      I’m confused as to why, out of all the minor league players out there (that were former major leaguers) why was Jay’s name mentioned? I know he’s batting .320 right now, but so are a lot of other players on other teams. Look at the Bisons. Now, that’s some bait.

        Well if his name surfaced in a Cafardo article, its likely because Payton played for the Sox for a brief period of time.

      Seriously. What year is this?

    I’m not even an Astros fan, and I’m tired of Drayton McLane being motivated by things other than building a franchise.

    Hmm, a contending team in the opposite league with the best farm system in the game needs starting pitching from a team 17 games under 500 and yet theres skepticism? Glad I’m not an Astros fan

    Pedro Feliz? Seriously? Happy Pete hasn’t hit in years (and even then, he barely did; career-best batting runs: 2.3). This year, he’s managed to add poor fielding (-22 UZR/150) to his resume.

    Why would a contender want this guy? Even for free?
