Links for Friday night….
- Ned Colletti says the Dodgers could use another outfielder, but not as much as they need pitching, according to Steve Dilbeck of the Los Angeles Times.
- We heard recently from ESPN.com's Jayson Stark that Ted Lilly will likely be traded before the deadline. Chris De Luca of the Chicago Sun-Times says it could even happen by the end of the weekend.
- Frank Wren tells David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he often has to turn away teams inquiring about the Braves' young pitchers.
- The Reds could still be looking for bullpen arms, says Mark Sheldon of MLB.com.
- GM Dave Dombrowski tells FOX's Jon Paul Morosi (Twitter link) that the Tigers aren't close to completing any trades.
- The Braves aren't showing much interest for now in Cody Ross, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman.
- Lance Berkman is prepared to face free agency if his option isn't picked up, writes Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
- Corey Hart will have an MRI on his injured wrist tomorrow, according to the Brewers' Twitter feed. Teams in the market for an outfielder, having already seen David DeJesus go down this week, will be closely monitoring the results.

Just what I like to hear.
It would be hilarious if Hart goes down as well. What good outfielder would be available then? I guess Bautista would seem pretty attractive then…
Good then everyone will be gunning for Werth and we will have many offers to choose from.
I am still hoping the Braves are going to aquire Cody Ross! I think this “we aren’t really interested” stuff is just a way of trying to not show any interest and hope the asking price goes down because of it.
Sigh. Cody Ross. 🙁
I get a feeling Wren is pretty much going to do nothing at the trade deadline like he did last year .
Do nothing? Getting Adam LaRoche was a great move last season. He may not have grabbed all the headlines, but he put together another great second half for the Braves.
With the Braves LaRoche hit .325 12HR and 40RBI…
