Davis from Tampa Bay and Gomez from Texas?
I still say Shapiro needs to do what he has to do to get Feliz, Smoak and Gomez, though.

You love Gomez. I love Gomez. And by most any measure, he's not one of the Rangers' Top 20 prospects...

Really?
From just his build, his arsenal and his baby dreads turned baby afro, he reminds me of Fausto.
And call me Kev, man; we've corresponded on here too long to be calling each other by ridiculous usernames.
I just caught this on Yahoo!:

I'm gonna be pissed if the Mets don't make a trade by the deadline. What's the point of keeping Luis Castillo? Trade him while his value is high(he'll suck again next year) and get a b level player back.

As the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser notes, a few key members of the Twins are also pining for Cabrera.
According to Cabrera," Slusser writes, "when the A's played Minnesota last week, every time Joe Mauer or Justin Morneau got on base, they'd say, " 'We're trying to get you! We want to get you here!'"
But, Slusser also adds this: "An A's source told The Chronicle last week that the Twins' offer wasn't what Oakland was looking for. Minnesota sounds motivated enough to have improved the offer, but it's also possible that it would take a multi-team deal to make it happen."

And Kev... You ain't lyin...
But yeah, all the guys that do regular Rangers Top 20's never have Gomez in them... He's always in the 'Guys to Watch' portion... Blows mymind...

Tampa Bay gets:
Cliff Lee
Hank Blalock
Texas gets:
Scott Kazmir
Victor Martinez
Carl Pavano
Cleveland gets:
Wade Davis
Neftali Feliz
Justin Smoak
Kennil Gomez
That makes sense, doesn't it?

I could see the Rangers giving up those three for Lee and Martinez... Not sure without Lee, though.

OKB... Saw this on MLBTR, can't imagine it's true, but what do you think?
Martin Perez at the center?
He is too far away, JP is terrified of kind of risk I don't see a deal getting done without Smoak or Feliz, Blue jays are all about publicity and opticsthey won't do a deal unless they get something close to the majors.

ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney reports this morning that "The trade talks between the Phillies and Jays about Roy Halladay have not only made little progress, but the dialogue has also gotten heated, as in angry. The Jays think the Phillies should be willing to give up J.A. Happ and Kyle Drabek and others for Halladay, and the Phillies think the Jays are asking for too much."
$&!^ wants Happ so bad.

But really, I don't know... It'd have to be for more in return than just Roy Halladay or Cliff Lee, I'd think... Like Lee and Martinez, I could seeit... But for one guy? Don't think so, just because this team isn't one player away from serious World Series contention...
And it doesn't help that the team is probably a year ahead of schedule in terms of how quickly they thought they'd be where they are now... This timenext year? I could see them doing it... But I think the timetable being pushed up and where they stand right now financially kinda threw everything for aloop...
Kinda weird you hear rumors coming out of other front offices and such, but the Rangers are dead $%% silent... Hard to get a real gauge on...

I think you're more likely to get Smoak and Holland than Smoak and Feliz...
Rangers definitely are looking for bullpen arms, though I'm not really sure why, assuming Feliz stays...

OKB, I've read rumors that the Yankees were taking a look at Scott Downs.
You'd think the Jays would deal him to the Yankees? Yankees *could* use another lefty to give Phil Coke a break and they'd also have another pitcherto use in that "Bridge to Mariano" role.
BTW, this from Yankee blogger Pete Abraham yesterday:
