McTaggart has an article about July being the month for trades and dealing.
Wade:
"We'll obviously pay attention to what's taking place to see if there's opportunities to improve the club. Being a buyer or seller or those types of things -- those are words or phrases that really don't mean anything. We will go about our business the way we always do. If anything looks like it has legs to it, we'll follow through on it."
Easy Eddie won't say much - he rarely does regarding trades - but he does acknowledge having preliminary conversations with teams about some deals.
For his part, Roy is going out of his way to show he's healthy:
"This is the best I've ever felt, as far as the first half of a season."
Does he feel great because of his health, or because he's possibly leaving the Astros...?
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
