Winter Mettings Over
Written by Baqqs on 1:27 PMEd Wade has left the building. That building being the Hotel Lobby of The Opryland. Although a deal wasn't finalized in Nashville, Wade has left many offers on the table and available for discussion. Before we jump into today's trade rumors and signings another significant event happened for The Astros today in The Rule 5 Draft. The Astros selected two pitchers that could have an impact in 2008. For more info on the acquisitions:
Now to today's rumors:
Tejada:
Early this morning Houston radio station 790 reported that a trade between the Astros and the Orioles was all but done. the main peices the Astros would have given were said to be Burke, Everett, and a young prospect pitcher, likely Patton.
Later in the day more and more rumors emerged siting just the opposite, that The Orioles have put this trade on the back burner. Either way, several sources still say this trade could happen and 790 still claims the deal is in its "advanced stage".

Luke Scott:
While Tejada was garnering most of the attention this morning, Luke Scott was quietly mentioned by several teams in possible trades. One of those trades was known to be at least a 3 team deal. Like most trades, that deal seemed to have fallen through, however Scott is still on a few teams radar.

Eric Gagne:
Gagne has today to decide whether or not he wants to accept The Red Sox arbitration offer, but several sources have The Astros as possible suitor should he decline arbitration.
