Potential Deadline Deals

Rays- Carl Crawford stays put. They wont sign him in the offseason but will settle for the supplemental 1st round draft pick, thats how they have built this club. Carlos Pena is below the Mendoza line but has power and a great glove. Atlanta Braves are the most likely destination. Chipper Jones is fragile plus Pena would be a great platoon player with Glaus. Also the Giants would be another fit, they have Buster Posey but as of now Pena would add more muched power
Orioles- Garret Atkins, Miguel Tejada, Ty Wigginton, and Kevin Millwood are all on the block. Millwood will probably be moved to a contender as a 3 or 4 starter. Dodgers, Angels, Mets, Twins, Padres, and Cards would all be interested. Wgginton will be moved because of the versatility Mets, Twins, Angels, and Cards are the front runner. Dont see Tejada or Atkins getting moved barring an injury

Yankees- looking to aquire as always they say pitching isnt a concern but you can never have to much. Oswalt, Harang, and Harden are big contracts that could be gotten cheap. Dotel, Scott Shields and Wigginton are possibilities
Roy Oswalt probably ends up a met along with Konerko, Cliff Lee to the Dodgers, Adam LaRoche to the Rays. Ben Sheets ends up a Card and Jake Wstbrook a twin
