What Should Happen By 4pm

I don't think any HUGE names will be traded in the next few hours. Roy Halladay won't be moved, No one will overpay for Adrian Gonzalez, and the Pirates have no more good players to give away.

However, there are a couple of players I do think will be traded today.

Clay Bucholz

The Red Sox have been trying to get rid of this guy all season. It is now looking like a three way trade is starting to form between the Sox, Indians, and a third team that would send Clay to Cleveland, Victor Martinez to Boston, and Adam LaRoche to the third team.

Victor Martinez

The C/1B Martinez is catching a lot of attention from teams in need of 1B depth. After dealing Cliff Lee, The Indians are obviously starting their rebuilding phase. Martinez may be the best hitter for sale.

Willie Bloomquist

The most versatile player left on the market, this Royal has great value to teams with a short bench. Bloomquist can play every infield position and has been a solid hitter for most of his career.

Mark Teahen

Another very versatile Royal, Teahen can play corner infield, corner outfield, and extended training at 2nd base earlier this season. Once known as a .270/15/70 hitter, this year his power numbers are down, but his average is way up in recent months.

Jarrod Washburn

This is a very interesting situation. Are the Mariners buyers or sellers? They have already won a couple trades in the last few days, but I think it may be time to get realistic. The Angels are still a great team, and the Rangers pitching is finally holding up. Washburn has been the Mariners' most consistent pitcher and have a good chance at getting some good pieces back for him.

Jeremy Guthrie

He is in no stretch of the imagination a #1 starter, although he has been the opening day starter for the Orioles 2 years in a row. If he is put on a contending team, he could be a very good 3rd or 4th starter and be very effective.

Stay tuned to S.O.S. for further Deadline Coverage.
