    Jul 19 - A.J. Burnett expects to be traded soon, the Palm Beach Post reports. A deal, likely with Baltimore, is nearing completion, although a three-way trade between the Marlins, Orioles and Pirates surfaced late Monday.
    In a straight-up deal with Baltimore, the Marlins would send Burnett, third baseman Mike Lowell and Triple-A outfielder Eric Reed to the O's for reliever Jorge Julio, outfielder Larry Bigbie and pitching prospect Hayden Penn.

    In the three-way deal, the Marlins would acquire pitcher Mark Redman from Pittsburgh -- along with Penn, Julio and Bigbie. In return, the Marlins would send Burnett to Baltimore and Lowell to Pittsburgh. The Pirates then would send first baseman Daryle Ward to Baltimore, and the Orioles also would acquire Reed. The Marlins would be responsible for a large portion of Lowell's contract, which has $21 million remaining through 2007.

    The Red Sox also have offered a package that would include starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo but have fallen behind Baltimore. Boston proposed a three-way deal with San Diego that was turned down by the Marlins.

    latest trade rumors

    I would hope the Sox would run away from any deal that requires them to take Mike Lowell.

    I hate to see my boy Jim Thome mentioned in trade talks but if the Phils could get some major league farm hands in return then it might be prudent. They'll hold on to Wagner until the final moment (July 31) unless someone blows them away. Urbina could close if need be but they would have to be out 8+ by deadline to move Wagner. I don't see what the fuss is with AJ Burnett. Wagner IMO is the hottest commodity out there for trade. The BoSox need to move Schilling back to the rotation and get Wagner to hold down the fort until Foulke removes his head from his ass
