-In a radio interview at about 1am last night, Jayson Stark took the Yankees' acquisition as a surefire eventuality. He said that the Marlins would be the most likely to acquire Brian Fuentes and George Sherrill (though he thought the Orioles would not deal him), and if Mark Teixeira gets traded (which would be decided by today's Atlanta result) it would most likely be to Arizona.
-The NY Post reports that the Mets have inquired about the availability of Manny Ramirez, but the Phillies would be best equipped to make a deal. The Post also reports that the Mets now have their sights set on Raul Ibanez, Randy Winn, Adam Dunn, Austin Kearns, or maybe Jose Guillen. "I guess you would say I'm less optimistic," said Jerry Manuel about an outfielder.
-At 1:14 this morning, Jon Heyman of SI.com reported that the Mets won't make a deal for Manny. Ramirez was said by some, according to Heyman to have his eyes set on the Angels. The Mets now turn their attention to Ibanez with an eye on the high asking price of Jason Bay, considering they asked Omar Minaya for Fernando Martinez in exchange for Xavier Nady.
-TSN quotes the NY Post story I had on here last night, saying that the Yankees were set to acquire Jarrod Washburn for "several prospects".
-The Philly Inquirer reports that several teams are interested in Fuentes but doesn't mention any of them. Great job...
