1050 ESPN Radio Reports....

Steve Phillips is the same one that dealt Kazmir for Zambrano, enough said lol. He lost his credibility with me long ago.

[Providence A's]

see here

He (assistant GM Forst) squelched a rumor that the Athletics and New York Mets were discussing a potential trade that would send starting pitcher Joe Blanton to the Mets for outfielder Lastings Milledge.

Forst said general manager Billy Beane has had telephone conversations with Mets GM Omar Minaya, "but there haven't been specific conversations about players. Billy has talked to Omar several times, mainly because Omar likes to make deals, but we haven't discussed any specific deals."

Asked if the A's would be reluctant to trade starting pitching, especially with the departure of left-hander Barry Zito to free agency, Forst said, "We would be open to any deal if it made sense."

sounds like BS to me Dry.

Actually, the radio here said that the A's had countered the Harden offer with that offer, and the Mets said no...
