Around the league: Holliday to Oak?

According to SI, it's about done. no terms or further details.

So for those of you hoping that somehow Holliday would end up in our outfield...oh well. This could be the first domino to fall, though, in a series of moves over the next couple weeks. If I had to guess, the Athletics will be sending some combination of Daric Barton, Travis Buck, Gio Gonzalez, Dallas Braden, and maybe even our old friends Sean Gallagher, E-Patt, and Murton. I'm sure they'd love to ditch Crosby, but considering the Rockies already are saddled with Tulowitzki (who's still salvageable) and Barmes (not so much), I doubt he's involved. but we'll see..

MLBTR should be boycotted...

for posting stupid rumors like this one:

"Angels trade for Aramis Ramirez

I have just learned from my Cubs contact that the Angels have traded Erick Aybar and Chone Figgins for Aramis Ramirez. More to come. Stay tuned.

Nugs"

Whoever "Nugs" is...well, that's just crazy. your Cubs contact has an amazing sense of humor. I post this reluctantly, as I don't like giving undue attention to wild rumors, but before anyone breathlessly reports this...I just don't believe this could possibly be accurate. It would take a lot more than that to get Aramis, first of all, but more importantly it seems inconceivable that he is on the block. but for all of your information...
