Rumor Talk with Keith Law
Will the Reds end up trading Arroyo and Lohse? Will Dunn stay in Cincy because Krivsky's shooting for the moon?
Keith Law: I think Dunn and Lohse are dealt, but not Arroyo. Lot of teams shied away from Arroyo when the Sox dealt him because he couldn't get LHB out.

Why are the Cardinals not mentioned in any trade rumors?
Keith Law: I think they're still hoping they have a good run in them and don't have to sell. But they also don't have a lot to sell, other than a few relievers. Most of their best players are locked up to long-term deals, or are young and shouldn't be traded.
