over here, best guess of trade options prior to the very end of July: Byrd, Quentin (full no-trade clause), Seth Smith, maybe Prado, Headley (having a miserable year thus far), Matt Joyce, maybe Dexter Fowler, Ben Zobrist, Kemp, Ethier. The Royals might also wanna offload Butler, but aren't at that point yet obviously since they're hanging around the same wild-card we are. Same with the Twins and both Willingham and Morales from their ranks.
Whether all teams think those guys are MOTO is debatable in the extreme. Whether any of them would qualify as MOTO for us is not, really - although some of them are having terribad years. If we can hang on til the deadline, more teams will be out of it and more players will be available.
I'm not against trading for two vets however, one now and one in 6 weeks...
