Meche on the trading block?

I don't know how many of you heard Jason Stark this morning on KJR, but he did mention Meche's name is coming up in trade talks. Once Burnett's status is resolved, Jason indicated Meche's name will come to the forefront of trade talks.

With so many teams still in the hunt for a postseason berth (sigh) pitching will always have value at the deadline. The fact Gil posted his 10th win yesterday might get some GM to give up more than he should.

It is good to know Bavasi is floating names and trying to evaluate the market for his players. It's what good GM's do, and along with Boone's DFA is a sign the M's FO "gets it."
