7:30pm: Ed Wade assured reporters today that Valverde will not be traded.

11:04am: According to Ken Rosenthal, the Astros are willing to trade Miguel Tejada.  Teams are interested in him as a shortstop and third baseman.  Rosenthal figures the Twins, Dodgers, Giants, and Angels could be matches.  He adds that the Astros realize they'd have to eat some of Tejada's $13MM for '09.  Richard Justice figures it'd require eating at least half.

Rosenthal says the Astros are not inclined to trade closer Jose Valverde. And Justice figures Ty Wigginton could be tough to move as his salary climbs toward $10MM.

Astros Will Not Trade Valverde

The A's adding more payroll?  Sure.  Just as soon as Obama quits smoking.  Holliday was added to either be re-realt at the trade deadline, or to capture the extra draft picks when he leaves as a free agent next year.  Plus he has a relatively low salary.  The A's will never fork out what Tejada and Giambi would cost.  This is a team in perennial re-build mode...

Astros Willing To Trade Tejada

Could the A's reacquire both Tejada and Giambi to add punch to their line-up that already includes Chavez and Holiday?
