Ty Wigginton is the most sought after player at the moment. Apparently the Red Sox, Yankees, Padres, Cubs, and Twins have their eyes on this prize of the Devil Ray's magical beans system of picking up formerly released players. I hear some WNBA teams are interested in his GREAT FUNDAMENTALS too. I refuse to believe this bullshit. Not Ty Wigginton, but the WNBA, which is as real as the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, and Lindsey Lohan's nose cartilage.

The only halfway interesting trade deadline deals appear to be the bidding war for Mark Teixeira, and the functional parts of the Rangers' bullpen. Somehow the Yankees and Red Sox have worked themselves into rumors for the deal, because Texas is
really stupid. On planet Earth, the Angels and Braves appear to be fighting it out, with the Dodgers as a dark horse team. They are really the only teams that have the need and the farm system to get the former "un-tradeable" part which made Texas never get Bartolo Colon a few years back.

For those people who have read Moneyball, I sadly don't see the vaunted "Fuckin A'" trade from Billy Beane this year. Unless he can find a Triage unit. Be sure to tune into ESPN and vomit all over yourself for their deadline special while Steve Phillips proves why he got fired as Mets GM.

In a side note....
