Despite the lack of big names likely being moved this trade deadline, that doesn't take away the anxiety of your team being involved. Rarely, do any of these trades transcend a team's season, but regardless, you feel that way even if your team acquired a catcher batting .220. Here's a list of the 10 most discussed players and my odds on them getting moved:
Ken Griffey Jr. - 100/1
How could the Reds justify decreasing attendance even further?
Mark Teixeira - 5/1
The biggest name that I think will get moved. Don't be surprised (not that you would be) if it's the Yankees. I'm pulling for the Mariners to finally make a deadline deal.
Jermaine Dye - 2/1
Just a matter of the best offer Kenny Williams can get.
Eric Gagne - 5/1
I'd deal him if I were the Rangers.
Jose Contreras - 10/1
Perhaps the Mets?
Troy Glaus - 75/1
Only loosely thrown around, but if the Jays remain as far out, why not?
Jacque Jones - 5/1
Not much of a grab for anyone, but he's essentially been given up on
Adam Dunn - 20/1
If the Reds make any big moves to acquire young talent, the human windmill probably tantalizes a few GM's who don't believe in Moneyball.
Brad Lidge - 10/1
Wouldn't be surprised to see the Red Sox take the risk
Scott Linebrink - 20/1
Desired by many teams, but why would the Padres get rid of a key to the pen.
Who do you think is getting moved?
