Anyone else hear Gammons say this week on BBTN that he expects the Dodgers and D-backs to wind up with Willis and Zito, respectively, on August 1 because they have the prospects?

Considering how the Marlins are playing, I can't see them dealing Dontrelle. Their payroll is lower than dirt as is and if they keep playing OK, they might be able to put a few more people in the stands and keep it from the total trainwreck that happened after the first purge. Stay in FLA or go, the Fish will still have to have some starting pitching. Willis still has a couple of years before he becomes a free agent, so I don't think they are completely dire to dump him. Then again, the Marlins ownership is pretty loopy.
I don't think it matters who the Astros pickup, with that bullpen they are not going anywhere. If I was a team with some vet bullpen pitchers, I'd try to unload them and get a slumping Jason Lane from them. Lane played pretty well down the stretch last year and maybe just needs a change to get back on track. His OBP is not bad and walk to K ratio is pretty good.
I figure the White Sox and Tigers will probably stand pat. They might could use something, but I don't think they would want to give up much.
Does John Smoltz end up somewhere else? I know The Boss would like to get a guy like that in pinstripes. I tend to doubt they have enough to make a deal. The Red Sox could use Smoltz and they seem to have a few more options in trading.
I said it a while back, but I would not be suprised if Reggie Sanders ends up some place else. It is just not the playoffs without Reggie Sanders on a new club.

The Dodgers have acquired left-hander Mark Hendrickson and catcher Toby Hall from the Devil Rays for right-hander Jae Seo, catcher Dioner Navarro and a player to be named, FOXSports.com has learned.
Hendrickson, 4-8 with a 3.81 ERA, joins a rotation that has featured only two consistent starters, right-handers Derek Lowe and Brad Penny. Hall gives the team protection in the event of an injury to rookie Russell Martin or veteran backup Sandy Alomar Jr."He's a great fifth starter," a scout says of Hendrickson, 32, who is 6 foot 9, 230 pounds. "He's durable. He's tall. He's very deceptive. Guys get bad swings on him. His stuff isn't great, but at the end of the day you look up and say, "He's not that bad."
Seo, 2-4 with a 5.78 ERA, was dropped from the Dodgers' rotation in May and has been pitching out of the bullpen. The Devil Rays could keep Seo — he is not be eligible for arbitration until after this season — or spin him to another club.
The Mets have shown interest in re-acquiring Seo, 29, whom they traded to the Dodgers along with reliever Tim Hamulack last January for relievers Duaner Sanchez and Steve Schmoll.

I would be shocked if they didn't. I'm surprised they couldn't get more than that for Navarro, though! They ALSO have to throw in a PTBNL! That's crazy. Andrew Friedman is a god.

Especially in the NL races, I think even one good to great player could have a huge impact. Huff to the Astros makes a lot of sense to me for that reason.

Right-hander Sidney Ponson, who became a free agent when he was released by the St. Louis Cardinals, has reached agreement on a deal with the New York Yankees, ESPN.com has learned.
Ponson, 4-4 with a 5.24 ERA in 14 appearances with St. Louis this season, lost his spot in the rotation when the Cardinals signed Jeff Weaver. Since Ponson cleared waivers Wednesday, the Yankees will be responsible for the pro-rated portion of the minimum salary for the rest of this season. St. Louis will pay the rest of Ponson's $1 million salary.
Ponson helps fill a void at the back end of Joe Torre's rotation. Mike Mussina, 10-3 with a 3.24 ERA, is the only New York starter with an ERA under 4.00.

BP reports that Schmidt and Lidge were off the market. I read somewhere else that Schmidt turned into a 10/5 guy as of yesterday, so he would've had a no trade clause today. Not sure if that's true.

Update: Contrary to what had previous been reported by ESPNews and others, Linebrink was not dealt to the Mets for Oliver Perez and Heath Bell.
Recommendation: It appears as if a deal was agreed to and then San Diego backed off just before the deadline as they felt the return they were receiving was not enough for Linebrink. He will remain in his role as Trevor Hoffman's set up man.

"The Twins reportedly offered Scott Baker and Jason Kubel for Soriano. Kubel won’t be arbitration-eligible until 2007 at least, Baker not until 2008 at least. Both are solid B prospects, and Kubel has a higher upside than that. Bowden wanted prospect Matt Garza instead, and no deal was reached.
"Let me simplify this choice: Bowden decided that he’d rather have Alfonso Soriano from ages 31-34 than Jason Kubel from 25-28, Scott Baker from 25-28…and $35 million! Unless Soriano is suddenly going to morph into Albert Pujols--hell, even if he is--you have to pull the trigger on this trade. The gap in production for the cost is far too great. You can make this deal and then use the money on Jason Schmidt and think seriously about the 2007 wild card."
