" Can a definite reacted to -- really get Roy Halladay like they'd like to get from Toronto because unfortunately. They need Clayton -- shot to get Halladay and they're not going to trade -- up. There -- a lot of talks with Cliff Lee with Cleveland if they can't get him. They're talking to Seattle by -- Washburn and of course is Cincinnati Reds about Aaron Harang and Bronson -- probably Giants in the Rockies can scampered just he'll get the -- they desperately -- what they -- get a Ryan Garko -- which they hope they did but they didn't give up a top ten prospect either -- help them -- him pitching -- below average defensive first baseman. They need one more back there intense conversations right now with Pittsburgh trying to get Freddy Sanchez the question is real O'Brien AB give up Tim Alderson to get on. If he does give up demolished and Sanchez will be giant by Friday the Rockies think they make some moves this week that I can make it their money is completely out to get a good job getting Raphael Betancourt to help the bullpen from Cleveland. Any doubt like to get one more lefty reliever he's talked to Baltimore about George -- And is also talked the parts about John Gray -- but they will not be making the big deal between now on the buzzer. Okay to tight race in the central Cardinals already making a splash by getting Matt holiday -- the Cubs and Brewers counter. Well at the Cubs can't count because they have a financial issue to during the middle of an ownership transition and because of that they can't play for Halladay and they can't play for -- play. We'll put out like another about the you know what he's got a bad Aramis Ramirez is back in the lineup and healthy Milton Bradley and Alfonso Soriano are starting to hit. So Jim Hendry would like at a reliever he has talked everybody would like to get a lefty that would that was his first choice and again that a name's -- but when Cheryl. But he's also talking about players like anybody that's okay let's jump to the Philadelphia desperately trying to get Roy Halladay or Cliff Lee what else -- well first of all they're gonna get. They're going to get one of -- there and leave the wood when you think -- guys I think they should step up and they -- right now I don't think JP maturity is asking too much with half -- brown. Look bronze going to be 22 in September he's still on a ball and he's averaging twelve homers -- be 500 about. -- a third of four starter at best and try to get a bigger picture don't get me wrong he could be a solid number two. But he's not number one like Halladay you have a chance to get Roy Halladay you have to make that trade and don't forget tomorrow is number one assistant is pat Gillick. Who's been the World Series how many times. Pat Gillick wants and Jamaica's deal I think by the -- they make it be on the mound what -- to Philadelphia you'd want to record right here that they've talked to Washington about -- Josh Willingham they like a little protection there but their big deals going to be a starting pitcher."
" Okay let's jump to the -- band -- abomination with all the injuries do they can eat at this point well look they should be sellers but there -- New York so warm and -- telling people -- buyers I personally think they're going to be spectators. A gauge and we appreciate you know I don't forget foxsports.com has you covered all his -- long I'm Bryan Webber will you next."
