Things seemed to have simmered down after the abundance in activity yesterday. Teams are holding back, at least for now, trying to figure out how yesterday’s trades have changed things. In the caes of the Red Sox, the team is probably feeling pretty uneasy over the Ortiz steroid business. Either way though, the clock is ticking…
The lead story is that there are unconfirmed reports that Orioles reliever George Sherrill has been traded to the Dodgers. Apparently the Orioles are seeking something like Josh Bell in return. This makes sense, the Dodgers have been talking to the O’s about Sherrill for a few days, and need at least one more reliever.
In other news, the Reds have been talking about acquiring Scott Rolen from the Blue Jays for several days and things were progressing. Now it appears that the talks are dead and that we can probably rule out Rolen heading to Cincy.
