Chico Harlan of The Washington Post spoke to Nationals acting GM Mike Rizzo today, who says "he feels no obligation to conduct a firesale," playing down the possibility of a major shakeup before the trade deadline. "A big transition period? I don't think that," Rizzo said. "We'll make deals based on good baseballs decision. 'Firesale' means you want to dump people. We don't...
The NL East is baseball's tightest division, with four teams no more than two games out of first place. One of those teams is the 39-40 Atlanta Braves, who wouldn't mind adding a bat even after acquiring Nate McLouth. We've seen Javier Vazquez and Yunel Escobar mentioned as possible trade bait, both of whom could bring back a significant piece or two. What do you guys think, should the Braves trade...

As Albert Brooks once pointed out, every baseball game in America starts with the National Anthem, and yet one team always loses. Today, I’d like to break with that tradition and post this poem, with fireworks, by St. Louis legend Jack Buck. This way, none of us are losers.
Today, we celebrate the independence of the United States of America. Mind you, July 4th was not the day upon which the vote was taken to sever all ties with Britain (that was July 2nd, and the vote was 12-0-1), but rather the day that the language of the Declaration of Independence was formally adopted. Baseball was a ways off yet, but something about baseball has always seemed quintessentially democratic....
ESPN.com's Buster Olney chimes in with some players and teams that could matchup in a trade with the Braves, who could dangle Javier Vazquez and/or Yunel Escobar as bait. Most of the rumors are just Olney's own speculation, but let's round 'em up anyway. The Red Sox have liked Escobar for a while, but don't match up very well for a trade. Olney mentions that Jacoby Ellsbury might be the only fit since...
