Hello… Buyers and Sellers

Good morning everyone and welcome back to the blog. Earlier in the week I laid out a plan to go over various things over the next month or so here on the blog, but none more important than the July 31^st trade deadline. I want to step outside my horizons some, not too much, and cover not just the Yankees during this hot stove season, but as many of the teams and players that could be making moves and moving as I can. That process started a couple days ago but I feel like before we get too far into it that we have to lay out who the potential buyers will be, who the potential sellers will be, and who won’t probably know what they are doing for a couple more weeks. That seems like a good starting point to me.

BUYERS:

New York Yankees

Boston Red Sox

Cleveland Indians

Houston Astros

Seattle Mariners

Atlanta Braves

Washington Nationals

Philadelphia Phillies

Milwaukee Brewers

Chicago Cubs

St. Louis Cardinals

Arizona Diamondbacks

Los Angeles Dodgers

SELLERS:

Tampa Bay Rays

Baltimore Orioles

Toronto Blue Jays

Chicago White Sox

Kansas City Royals

Texas Rangers

New York Mets

Miami Marlins

Cincinnati Reds

San Diego Padres

TO BE DETERMINED:

Detroit Tigers

Minnesota Twins

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

Oakland Athletics

Pittsburgh Pirates

San Francisco Giants

Colorado Rockies

Oh, and baby. I love you and I would buy you a million times over if I could. You are the most beautiful, most kind, most sincere and most awesome person that I know. I love you to the mailbox and back! A million kisses for you this morning.

So it Seems it All Comes Down to This

Ladies and gentleman it all comes down to this. This marks the final full week before the July 31^st trading deadline and this marks a week that could and will likely change everything for years to come. The July 31^st trade deadline goes down next Monday at 2:00 pm ET giving teams and their general managers less than a week to wheel and deal before the waiver wire deadline goes into effect. It all comes down to this. Who will buy? Who will sell? Who will come and who will go? Nobody knows, stay tuned. This year is going to be fun I think, more so than usual. Call it a hunch.

Also “it all comes down to this” is happening in my personal life as well. I don’t have a concrete date yet but for all I know it could be this weekend. It could be next weekend. It’s oh so soon though and that makes me extremely happy. Life is changing for the better and changing forever. It all started eight months ago tomorrow and as Chapter One of the book that is Dan and Kari closes a new chapter begins.

I can’t put into words how much of a fun and exciting week this is going to be. Hey you. I love you!
