TRADING TWEETS
The #Orioles have talked to #Rays about Erasmo Ramirez as a starter. Possible alternative now that Cashner has gone to #Marlins.
— Jerry Crasnick (@jcrasnick) July 29, 2016
Sources: Matt Moore emerging as likeliest trade candidate from TB. Steven Pearce will be dealt. Rays should be very active in next 72 hours.

#Rays doubtful will get enough to move Archer. But continue to get plenty of bites on Moore, Odorizzi, even bit on Smyly

#Rays and #Dodgers have had recent trade talks that could link up with #Reds, sources say. @jaysonst first reported 3-team scenario. @MLB

I never said the Dodgers and Rays weren't talking. Just said they're not the 3rd team in this Jay Bruce deal. https://t.co/i31ownyeZk

Around the League:
- The Nationals really want Andrew Miller as they’re willing to offer Lucas Giolito (one of the top prospects in baseball) for him...but that’s still not enough for New York to say yes
- Jim Johnson of the Atlanta Braves may be on the move again in his quest to become Octavio Dotel
- The first big trade of the deadline season went down yesterday as the Marlins and Padres came together for a seven player deal
-
Ichiro doesn’t have plans to retire until he’s at least 50, providing some
ongoldenpondquotes - Clinging to a 4-1 lead, the Nationals turned a triple play in the eighth innng, that looked like 3-3-5 on the scorecard
- The Twins scoreboard operator thought it’d be a good idea to post trade rumors, with no context, trollinng everyone. So, the Indians decided to troll back
