re: DAT 7/28: YFPHA (Urkel) vs. Mariners (Gilbert) 7:10

Rosenthal says if the Astros move a SP, it will be for major-league talent now, not prospects. That revelation seems like a no-brainer. He focuses on Urquidy and what seem like his own hypotheticals. Rosenthal also says it’s possible the Astros could acquire a player like a Ryan Reynolds or Sean Murphy by trading a pitcher to a team out of contention and then that team flipping the pitcher to anothe club. He says the Astros may have to find that third team to make a deal like that work.

He also says “a number of teams are exploring trades for Siri.” He mentions Phillies, Marlins and Brewers among teams who need CF help.
