Fallout from Roy's fist-slamming trade pleas

CBS Sports' Danny Knobler has some reaction:

An Oswalt trade remains so complicated that many people around the Astros remain convinced it won't happen -- that despite Oswalt's request that the Astros consider dealing him, he'll still be with Houston when the July 31 non-waiver trading deadline passes...Despite what Oswalt said Friday, people who know him remain convinced that there are only a few teams he would actually agree to move to. And while Oswalt insisted Friday that there's no "list," the feeling is that there are fewer than half a dozen teams that he would even seriously consider...

...So yes, Roy Oswalt says he'd go anywhere. But it's still a good bet that he'll go nowhere.
