News and Notes

-Tex trade is done, and does not include Davies.

-Dotel trade can happen with Davies going to KC.

-Ring is a Brave via a trade with San Diego.

-Wickman is now expendable for the right price. DOB speculates that this might be done through waivers. Now, with relief pitching the way it is I doubt Wickman will make it through waivers but his contract is fairly big (almost as big as him). Perhaps if he struggles down the stretch...

-Jo-Jo has been offered for Arroyo but the price is likely more. Thorman, Yates, Paronto, Ladezma, and other prospects being discussed.
