We’re getting down to the nitty gritty on the MLB trading deadline. The Cliff Lee deal today and a few other minor deals will have folks buzzing over the next 36 hours.
Ken Rosenthal floated some information today that was interesting in regard to George Sherrill at Fox Sports.
From Rosenthal:
“As many as eight teams are pursuing Orioles closer George Sherrill, and two or three are “actively engaged” with Baltimore in discussions, according to a major-league source.
The Orioles expect that the number of teams serious about Sherrill actually might grow once the big-name starting pitchers get traded — or not.
The Dodgers have maintained interest in Sherrill, and a number of their prospects appeal to the Orioles. The Angels are “mildly” involved, according to one major-league source.
The Phillies are unlikely to act on Sherrill now that they are preparing to trade four prospects for Indians left-hander Cliff Lee.”
