MLB Trade Rumors: An All-Inclusive Rumor Rundown from Around the Web

At the MLB trade deadline, keeping up with all of the trade rumors that are flying around can be a very difficult task. That is why here at Bleacher Report we are aggregating all of the rumors to help you keep track of what is going on.

These rumors are broken down by division. They will be updated throughout the weekend so make sure that you check back and see the latest rumored deals.

AL East

New York Yankees

According to Troy Renck of the Denver Post, it appears that the Yankees have the best chance of acquiring Ubaldo Jimenez. However, they may not be able to meet the Rockies' high asking price.

Ken Rosenthal reported that the Yankees scouted Rich Harden at his last start. Harden could be a good fit for the back end of the Yankees rotation.

Tim Kurkjian believes that the Yankees are now making a strong push for Ubaldo Jimenez.

Boston Red Sox

Nick Cardafo of the Boston Globe connects the Red Sox to two Seattle Mariners starters. He said the team has interest in Erik Bedard and that the Mariners have been offering them Jason Vargas.

Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of Fox Sports are reporting that the Red Sox are interested in Hiroki Kuroda. Any of the three pitchers mentioned would greatly help the Red Sox rotation.

Jim Bowden has said that the Red Sox and Dodgers are discussing a deal which would send Hiroki Kuroda to Boston for a prospect.

The Red Sox have asked the Athletics about both Josh Willingham and Rich Harden according to Buster Olney.

Bob Nightengale is reporting that the Red Sox have also spoken to the White Sox about Carlos Quentin and Matt Thornton.

Trade Alert: In a bit of a surprising move, the Red Sox have acquired Mike Aviles from the Royals for Yamaico Navarro and minor league pitcher Kendal Volz according to the Royals twitter feed.

Tampa Bay Rays

John Heyman of Sports Illustrated is reporting that B.J. Upton will have a lower cost than Hunter Pence. This could be a steal for a team if Upton can turn things around.

Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Cincinnati Reds are targeting James Shields. It seems unlikely that Shields will be dealt.

Toronto Blue Jays

Danny Knobler of CBS Sports is reporting that the Jays might not be done making moves yet. They could trade Frank Francisco or Jon Rauch.

The Blue Jays made one of the biggest moves to date when they acquired Colby Rasmus earlier this week.

Baltimore Orioles

Jeremy Guthrie, Koji Uehara and Derek Lee are the main players that the Orioles have been talking about with other teams according to Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun. Each of these players could bring the Orioles a nice return.

Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun notes that teams have called in about Adam Jones. It does not make sense for the Orioles to trade the promising young outfielder.

Trade Alert: The Orioles have acquired Chris Davis and Tommy Hunter from the Rangers for Koji Uehara.

AL Central

Detroit Tigers

Danny Knober reports that the Tigers would need to begin any trade talks about Ubaldo Jimenez with top pitching prospect Jacob Turner or Rick Porcello. Including one of these two in a deal for Jimenez would be worth it.

Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi are reporting the Tigers are making an effort to get Jason Marquis. He is the type of player that could help fill out the back end of the Tigers rotation.

Ken Rosenthal reports that the Tigers would include Jacob Turner in a deal for Ubaldo Jimenez.

The Tigers are definitely making a move for pitching. Jerry Crasnick reports that they are going after Doug Fister now.

Trade Alert: The Tigers have acquired Fister and David Pauley for Charles Furbush, Casper Wells and others according to Danny Knobler. Knobler has also added that the Mariners will get Francisco Martinez in this deal.

Cleveland Indians

Ken Rosenthal reports that the Indians are going after Ryan Ludwick. He would be a good option to fill in their hole in the outfield even after they picked up Kosuke Fukudome. 

The Indians were also mentioned as a possible destination for Hiroki Kuroda by Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi. Kuroda would be a good pick up for the team.

Jon Heyman is reporting that the Indians are a threat to acquire Ubaldo Jimenez.

Scott Miller says that the Indians should have a deal in place for Ryan Ludwick very soon.

Chicago White Sox

After dealing Edwin Jackson, the White Sox could make another move. Ken Rosenthal reports that the Braves are after Carlos Quentin.

Minnesota Twins

Denard Span could be on the move according to Ken Rosenthal. The Twins outfielder could bring back Drew Storen.

Yahoo's Tim Brown states that the Rockies have been looking at Kevin Slowey. The Twins might move him if they feel they will not be contenders.

Scott Miller of CBS Sports reports that teams have been calling about Jason Kubel and Michael Cuddyer, but the Twins are unlikely to trade them.

Kansas City Royals

Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star has reported that teams are inquiring about the Royals starters. Bruce Chen or Jeff Francis could be on the move.

Jon Paul Morosi reports that the Royals will hold onto Joakim Soria. It may be time for the Royals to move him and cash in with a big return.

AL West

Texas Rangers

After making a big splash last year, the Rangers are looking to do it again this year by acquiring Heath Bell according to Ken Rosenthal.

Upgrading the bullpen is certainly a priority as the Rangers have also spoken to the Athletics about their reliever according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News.

The Texas Rangers are going after Matt Thornton according to Ken Rosenthal. The White Sox want Derek Holland in return.

Los Angeles Angels

It appears less and less likely that the Angels can acquire Health Bell according to Mark DiGiovanna of the LA Times. Their bullpen could certainly use the help though.

The Washington Nationals have had an interest in Peter Buorjos according to Bill Ladson of MLB.com. If the Angels move him, they are putting a lot of faith in Mike Trout.

According to Ken Rosenthal, the Angels would love to make a move for Aramis Ramirez. There is no word yet on if the Cubs are making him available.

The Angels are looking for bullpen help and are considering Rafael Betancourt according to Troy Renck.

Oakland Athletics

Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that Billy Beane has not been impressed by any offers yet. It is difficult to impress such a shrewd GM.

Coco Crisp has been discussed by the Brewers according to Danny Knobler. The Brew Crew might not have the trade chips in place to afford him though.

Jayson Stark says that the Athletics are close to trading Rich Harden to the Red Sox. The latest update from Nick Cafardo suggest that Lars Anderson could be involved in the deal.

Seattle Mariners

Teams have discussed Doug Fister, but according to Danny Knobler, he will not be going anywhere.

The Boston Red Sox are coming hard after Erik Bedard according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi. The two teams match up fairly well and a deal could occur.

NL East

Philadelphia Phillies

Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly is reporting that the Phillies would include Domonic Brown in a deal for Hunter Pence. Based on the Carlos Beltran deal, this seems to make sense.

Carlos Quentin is another outfielder that the Phillies are interested in according to Ken Rosenthal. The Phillies could definitely use outfield help.

Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated is now reporting that the Phillies may try to bring in a third team in a deal for Hunter Pence.

Buster Olney believes that the Phililes are closing in on a deal for Hunter Pence. Ken Rosenthal also supports this claim and believes that the deal will be done tonight. According to Jon Morosi, Jonathan Singleton and Jarred Cosart are in the deal.

Atlanta Braves

The Braves are another team that missed out on Carlos Beltran. Jason Stark of ESPN says that the Astros are considering the Braves' offer for Hunter Pence.

Buster Olney reports that the Braves have had discussions about Coco Crisp. He is a second-tier option but he will be less expensive.

New York Mets

The Mets do not plan to make any more moves at the deadline unless there is an unbelievable offer according to Adam Rubin.

Florida Marlins

Pitchers Anibal Sanchez and Ricky Nolasco are off limits according to Jon Heyman. This is a smart decision by Florida.

Ken Rosenthal also notes that Leo Nunez is likely to be kept by the Marlins. It is doubtful that they make a move at the deadline.

Washington Nationals

Bill Ladson insists that the Nationals won't move Ian Desmond. They view him as a part of their future.

According to Yahoo's Jeff Passan, the Nationals are the favorites for B.J. Upton. It would be a great move for the franchise if they could acquire him.

Jim Bowden says that the Indians and the Tigers have emerged as suitors for Jason Marquis.

Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Twins and Nationals are working on a deal that would send Denard Span to the Nationals for a package that includes Drew Storen.

NL Central

Milwaukee Brewers

After the injury to Rickie Weeks, the Brewers have been looking at Rafael Furcal and Jamey Carroll according to Ken Rosenthal. Trading for one could be very helpful for their playoff push.

The Brewers received $1 as cash considerations in return for Wil Nieves. Where would this rank on the dumbest trades of all time?

Trade Alert: The Brewers have acquired Jerry Hairston from the Nationals according to Chris Singleton. He will likely be Rickie Weeks replacement.

Pittsburgh Pirates

Jon Heyman reports that the Pirates are looking at Jamey Carroll. He could help push them towards the playoffs for the first time in almost two decades.

The Pirates' interest in Chris Iannetta has dropped according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post. They seem content with their catching options.

Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun has stated that the Pirates are close to making a deal for Derek Lee.

St. Louis Cardinals

Cardinals are not staying quiet after trading Colby Rasmus; they are interested in Heath Bell according to Ken Rosenthal.

Rosenthal also reports that they are looking for middle infield help. The Cards will have a tough time making the playoffs with Ryan Theriot in the everyday lineup.

Scott Miller is reporting that the Cardinals are closing in on a deal for Rafael Furcal. The Dodgers may ask him to waive his no trade clause soon.

Cincinnati Reds

The Reds are now going after Astros outfielders Hunter Pence and Michael Bourn according to Ken Rosenthal. Cincinnati certainly has the prospects to swing a deal.

Ubaldo Jimenez is another name that has been linked to the Reds by Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi. He would be a huge boost to the team's rotation.

MLB.com's Mark Sheldon says that the Reds will not be sellers.

Houston Astros

Hunter Pence may be on the move very soon. According to Jon Heyman, Pence was told that he was going to be pulled from yesterday's game because of a trade but he was not removed.

Buster Olney says that there is currently a huge bidding war for Pence. It looks like teams are willing to overpay to get him.

Jon Heyman has confirmed Pence has been moved to the Phillies. You can read more about the deal here.

NL West

San Francisco Giants

After acquiring Carlos Beltran, the Giants may not make another move. However, Jon Heyman reports they are interested in trading for a catcher. Buster Posey could move to first base next year so the catcher may be a long-term solution.

Arizona Diamondbacks

Could Arizona be a landing spot for Jamey Carroll? According to Jon Heyman, it is possible.

Scott Miller of CBS Sports is reporting that the Diamondbacks are looking for pitching. There are a lot of names on the market so the D-Backs can certainly make a move.

Ken Rosenthal is saying that the Diamondbacks are trying to acquire Jason Marquis.

Trade Alert: Marquis is now a Diamondback according to Jim Bowden. The Nationals are receiving Zach Walters.

Colorado Rockies

The Tigers are just one of many teams asking about Ubaldo Jimenez according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi.

Jason Giambi likely won't be traded now that he has been put on the DL.

Jon Heyman has said that the Rockies asking price for Jimenez has dropped slightly.

It appears that Ubaldo Jimenez will be an Indian according to Joel Sherman.

Los Angeles Dodgers

Ken Davidoff of Newsday says that the Dodgers are not currently taking offers on Hiroki Kuroda because of his no-trade clause. They should change their stance on this.

Ken Rosenthal is now reporting it is unlikely that Kuroda will accept a deal to the Yankees or Red Sox. There is a strong belief he will turn down a deal to the Indians or Tigers.

Rafael Furcal has drawn interest from both the Brewers and the Giants.

Don't expect Hiroki Kuroda to go anywhere. According to Tony Jackson of ESPN, he has told his agent that he will not waive his no-trade clause.

San Diego Padres

Ryan Ludwick could head to the Indians according to Ken Rosenthal. This would be a good move for Cleveland.

The price for Ludwick will not be too high according to Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Heath Bell and Mike Adams trade talks have intensified according to Buster Olney. Expect one of them to be on the move before the trade deadline.

Mike Adams is continuing to draw more attention. However, Ken Rosenthal says that the Padres will need to hear an outstanding offer to move him.
