" I'm Bryan -- pleased to be joined by former MLB general manager Jim -- breaking down the buyers and -- the American League Jim thanks for taking the time to join us thanks Adam let's start a highly competitive at least the Yankees rays and Red Sox could all be buyers would expect from the."

" in New York Yankees are going to try to at a starting pitchers probably not going to be how they -- lead because they're not willing to trade Chamberlain and Hughes but they would like to get Washburn. They're very close to a deal with Cincinnati for Bronson Arroyo for right now -- haggling over the money because Arroyo's -- some seventeen million dollars in the trying to get the reds the pay a big. Part of that but they will get a picture probably between now and the deadline. In the case of the Boston Red Sox the Red Sox thirteen it's going to make a huge trade here. They're not gain the publicity that they probably deserve right now but they're going to trade some of their top prospects for the first time in several years led by Clay Buchholz who is going to go. Now whether or not the traded going to bring them Halladay early or whether it's gonna get him a big bat like Victor Martinez we'll have to wait and see but I expect the Red Sox to make a blockbuster Abbott Adrian Gonzales and -- that's not going to happen -- the Padres need a boatload to trade -- dollars in the most popular player there. -- best player he signed at a reasonable amount. And the Red Sox aren't going to pay the price to Kevin towers wants for -- Gonzales and the rays will actually be active this week I don't think started talking to a lot of clubs and I think what they'd like as someone that takes Scott Kazmir is contract they're hoping the Angels don't get. How they're Lee so they come and get Kazmir -- get out of that contract. Okay let's move DL central all the talk about Cleveland do you think actually part company with Victor Martinez or publicly yeah I think there's a possibility that one or two could go because I think you're going to add teams they're going to overpay and in particular I think Philadelphia and Boston. Are both going to step up and because of that I think is a good chance it. The Cleveland Indians can rebuild their franchise. Very very quickly just like they did when they made up Bartolo Cologne beyond -- years ago and they got Sizemore and Phillips certainly look -- the other teams in their needs what to expect from Detroit well Detroit has a lot of needs believe it or not. They'd like to get another big bat they're trying to get one from Washington they talk to them about Adam Dunn Josh Willingham. They also need a starting pitcher they also need relief pitching. So they're going to try to be active day to browser as my best GMs in baseball eventually see what he can a lot because this farm system is -- about Chicago and minister. Never -- Kenny Williams out although we're hearing that they don't have a lot of money to work with Minnesota has got to get a shortstop now they've been talking Oakland about Orlando Cabrera. They've talked of Pittsburgh about Jack Wilson and they even talked to Toronto about scooter if in fact they wouldn't trade Halladay so there is the possibility they get a shortstop but for them to contend. They better get a shortstop from Minnesota though always economic concerns always an economic concern -- a big picture we wonder. How much they do this week let's jump to the west Angels Rangers both looking for pitching. What did you -- Well the Angels want to make an impact there's no question about it Tony Reagan's approval last year when he traded for Mark Teixeira is not afraid to do that. The problem is they'd love to get Halladay but they don't really want to pay the price right now which is there a -- bar Brandon Wood. Joe Saunders and one of the top Miley prospects at that price for a change they could play. They'd like to get some pitching not only starting or relieving and what to expect from Texas. Texas -- I don't expect much from what they've got one of the better farm systems in baseball right now. They've done a phenomenal job of building that up. They don't want to trade that entire farm system they worked too hard to do it they also have financial problems with -- owner Tom Hicks who's in the process of selling the team. And because of those two factors I don't look for the Rangers -- do much great."

" Now we appreciate the end I don't forget foxsports.com is covered all baseball is a long Ford Jim O'Brien we'll see next."
