His dad is psycho or something.

Feeling from execs is #Rockies want to find trade for Jimenez #Yankees, #Redsox #Reds calling. Surprise is #Bluejays kicked tires (cont)

Joelsherman1 Joel Sherman
Remember Jimenez signed thru '13 ('14 option goes away if traded) so non-contenders could be interested for future

If only

don't get why Colorado wants to move him

The Natinals got Gomes

[MiamiHomer]

Nats traded for Jonny Gomes.
--------------------
Twice.

"WE GON LOSE!"

[DropkickAlex]

Why would the Nationals want Gomes? Makes no sense. Hopefully they somehow gave up a decent prospect. Doubt it but it would be nice.

[MiamiHomer]

Outfielder Bill Rhinehart and left-hander Chris Manno are the guys they gave up.
--------------------

MLB Network's Peter Gammons reports that the Indians offered to pick up all of Carlos Beltran's remaining salary, as well as give up a good player in return, but Beltran decided he didn't want to go to Cleveland.
Gammons doesn't necessarily say there was a deal in place and Beltran nixed it, but it's clear he wants to go to a team he thinks has a good chance to win a title, and he doesn't think the Indians fit that bill. The veteran outfielder has a full no-trade clause and might only waive it for the Rangers, Giants, Phillies, Braves or Brewers.

The Colby Rasmus-Tony La Russa saga added another chapter Tuesday. It's the latest development in a lengthy series for the third-year center fielder, whose name has long swirled in trade rumors. Speaking to KSDK TV-5 in St. Louis, La Russa was largely complimentary of Rasmus until the end of the interview. He spoke of Rasmus' bright future and said that the club is not shopping Rasmus. At the end, however, La Russa was asked whether Rasmus is listening and responded tartly. "Well, he's listening to somebody," the manager said. Asked whether Rasmus is listening to the Cardinals' coaches, he was more direct. "No, he doesn't listen to the Cardinal coaches much now, and that's why he gets in these funks, in my opinion," La Russa said.

La Russa: Rasmus doesn't listen to coaches

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: #Rangers offering #Mets greater number of players for Beltran. #SFGiants offering fewer players, more quality. Key question: Will #Braves make stronger push now that McCann is out with oblique? Talks remain fluid. #tradedeadline#MLB

Bluejays going after Rasmus in a three team deal.
--------------------

The Indians remain aggressive after their failed run at Carlos Beltran, tweets Yahoo's Jeff Passan. Passan says the Indians are "trying to move on" Colby Rasmus, B.J. Upton, and Hiroki Kuroda.
