    Jammin, the blue jays tried doing that last year with halladay and Vernon wells, which fixer I know you hate the ryan Howard deal but vernon wells is the worst contract on baseball, even though he is having a better year.

    How about that for a run on sentence? I lost my breath just typing it.
    I remember hearing that, Vernon Wells is the reason he didn't get traded last year and also why jp whatever his name is got fired.
    Go Birds!!!!

    Phillies can't take both contracts. That would put them upwards of $160-70 mil, even if they lost ibanez. Interesting thinking though.

    # Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. reiterated he's "not close" to a deal. But our report never said he was, just that he was "working on" big deal. 1 minute ago via web

    10:44pm: Olney and Stark hear that the Rays are discussing trades for Werth (Twitter link). The Phils are working "very, very aggressively" to move Werth (Twitter link).

    Meanwhile, Price reports (via Twitter) that talks regarding Oswalt are ongoing between the Phillies and Astros.

    Buster Olney and Jayson Stark of ESPN.com hear that the Rays are involved in discussions for Phillies' outfielder Jayson Werth.

    According to Olney, the Phillies are working "very, very aggressively" to move Werth. Freeing themselves of his contract would allow the Phillies to add more payroll, possibly in the form of Astros' right-hander Roy Oswalt. There are obviously a lot of moving pieces here, but it certainly sounds like talks are going on. Whether a deal actually goes down is another matter altogether. Jul. 20 - 11:57 pm et

    Yeah, man. I actually think Werth peaked anyway. Not saying he can't put up 20/25 homers a year. But I always thought he was a douche, and this year is just proving it. Before it was just his wardrobe. But now, allegedly poking Chase's wife, freaking out on the dad with his kid, ripping the ivy off the wall in Wrigley, and apparently having a bad attitude in the locker room. Fuck him.

    My last thing for the night then I have to sleep. How does olneys logic make any sense? The philles are trying to move werth to free up $2.5 mil this year to make room for oswalt but are willing to take on an additional $16 mil next year and have $150 committed?

    I think I read they want to make a deal that evens out the money that is due for this year.

    I have no idea how they're gonna fit oswalt into their budget.

    I want LA to put up some runs here so these teams start killing each other

    Pretty much what I'm trying to say - and I'm doing a horrible job at it - is that they will take on the amount of salary that would be owed to Werth while Houston pays the rest of what is owed to Oswalt. Or something. Forget it. I don't know what I'm talking about.
