Latest rumor is the Rays seriously considering dealing Price to the Cardinals for Taveras, Shelby Miller, and that compensatory draft pick they got that pissed Theo Epstein off.

IF this is true and has merit, it explains the Pirates allegedly offering their top 2 OF prospects to the Red Sox for 2 months of Lester. Because if the Cards get Price, facing either Wainwright/Price/Wacha or Kelly in a playoff series against the Cards or Kershaw/Grienke/Ryu in a series against the Dodgers and lining up Liriano/Cole/Morton against them...well...they may as well just enjoy the regular season.

If Javier Baez has to move off shortstop due to the presence of Russell or Starlin Castro, the Cubs see him as more of a second baseman than a third baseman. Chicago has played Baez at second base quite a bit following the All-Star break, and Epstein called the transition “seamless.”

The Yankees are looking at the second tier of starting pitchers rather than focusing on front-line arms, reports ESPN’s Buster Olney, and one player they’ve discussed is Rockies left-hander Brett Anderson (Twitter link).

I think I would have to take that deal if I was the Rays. Even though Miller has been abysmal this year.

Well they system they have now to determine who gets a pick is stupid. Not saying you did, but i still don't understand why cardinals fans got so bent out of shape about what he said.
