Rumor Recap

As the non waiver trading deadline approaches, Frair-related rumors are certainly keeping things interesting, especially with KT starting to blend in with former Friar GM "Trader" Jack McKeon. The San Fransisco Examiner mentions the Padres as potential suitors for Adam Dunn and Mike Piazza. While I can see how the Padres would covet Dunn, it is more difficult to see how Piazza would fit into the mix at this point. Of course, there are also the seemingly omnipresent rumors of Mark Loretta and Ryan Klesko, which have been discussed on FF repeatedly over the last few days.

On the flip side of potential trades, Brewers GM Doug Melvin is taking heat for the Scott Linebrink deal. Additionally, the Scott Hairston trade marks the first deal ever between the two clubs.
