Rosenthal: Bucs May Move Nate McLouth
I wonder what, if anything, this means about Neal Huntington and Frank Coonelly's trust in Nyjer Morgan, who I think definitely shouldn't be starting. Still, McLouth had a good season, and if four teams are interested, it might not be a bad idea to move him, especially with Andrew McCutchen waiting in the wings.
By the way, in the same article, Rosenthal reports a huge honker of a rumor, in which the Tigers would trade some package involving Andrew Miller and/or Cameron Maybin for Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis. I bet this doesn't happen, though - after Miller and Maybin, there's very little left in the Tigers' farm system, if those two are a part of the farm system to begin with.
-P- The Braves have acquired Will Ohman and Omar Infante from the Cubs for minor league reliever Jose Ascanio. Ascanio isn't old and had a good year in 2007 for Class AA Mississippi, but I like this deal for the Braves - Ohman's a capable reliever, and his peripheral numbers indicate that he could reel off a few good years for them. The Cubs lost trust in him this year, sending him to Class AAA Iowa for a few weeks in August and leaving him off their postseason roster.

McClouth trade
To me, trading McClouth is exactly what DK is always advocating - deal at a player's peak, not his low point (as Bay is). I still think of him as a fine fourth outfielder, but if someone thinks he's worth that much more, take it!
Anyone see any chance of a three-day deal with the Indians and Jays that includes Bay, Rios and prospects?

I never thought Rios would amount to anything.

Well, it's strange.
I think that Huntington is convinced, for whatever reason, that we need another one or two vets for the pen. All the pieces seem to fit.

Pen Help
I read on ESPN that Kip Wells wants to sign somewhere as a setup man. Wonder what his agent wants?

I'm suspecting...
That said, disbelieve at least 50% of what Jake says, as a rule. At least that much of his content is filler, agenda, and back-scratching; he's basically the Drudge Report of the Pirate blogsphere.
