NL East Notes: Nationals, Buehrle

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | July 24, 2012 at 3:45pm CDT

The Phillies are eager to trade Hunter Pence, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported today. Here are some more notes from the NL East with exactly one week remaining before the July 31st trade deadline…

  • The Nationals' primary concern is improving their middle infield depth, Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post reports. The Nationals could make a move very soon now that Ian Desmond might miss a month with a strained oblique. The team has discussed 15-20 players in the Marco Scutaro, Jamey Carroll, Nick Punto mold, Kilgore reports.
  • The Nationals aren’t looking for a starting position player and they aren’t offering much for starting pitching, Bill Ladson of MLB.com reports (Twitter links). It seems unlikely that GM Mike Rizzo will trade for a premium pitcher like Zack Greinke or Matt Garza.
  • One GM told Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com that the Marlins are expected to listen on any player not named Giancarlo Stanton or Jose Reyes. However, the Marlins would likely have to be overwhelmed to trade Mark Buehrle.
  • The Mets announced that they have signed reliever Craig Hansen to a minor league contract (via Twitter). Hansen was a first-round draft pick of the Red Sox in 2005.

    If the offer for Hamels is 6/$140, the decision is sign him or trade him. That leaves no doubt.

    OK, either trade Hamels or stop giving reporters vague hints. It’s getting boring.

      Mind if we wait to see if he signs the offer first?

    Cole Hamels to Texas is most likely. Hamels close to free agency he most likely won’t sign an extension now.
    3B Mike Olt, CF Leonys Martin will headline the trade to Philadelphia from Texas. The Rangers being so close to a World Series championship last 2 years, they will be willing to do whatever to make a front line rotation move. But still do not think they will give up top prospect SS Jurickson Profar.

      Wright is not a free-agent this offseason and even if he was, there’s no way in hell he’d sign with the Phillies.

      King Regards,
      Guy Who Is Just As Likely To Be Phillies’ GM As You Are (0.0000000% chance)

        While R4Y’s proposal is a little ludicrous, he did say “upcoming offseasons” – not necessarily meaning this offseason.

    Pence batting 5th after Kemp and Ethier, mmm sounds great. Dodgers lack positional prospects to trade.

    The Pirates tried to trade for Pence last year if I am corrected and Philly jumped in and gave up way more than the Pirates were will to give. Will the Pirates match up with the Phillies now on this?

    Carroll is just the kind of guy the Nats need to back up a solid infield. Scutaro is The Only Guy I’d Dread Having More Than Nick Punto.
