M's holding on to players till the last minute

It might not be until Sunday at the deadline before we know who is going where. And we know SOMEONE will be traded this weekend. Somebody who has an M's uniform tonight is not going to be here next Monday. That much is certain.

Bavasi has shown he is not afraid to make a trade. The M's have a cushion to add payroll, and have shown they are not afraid to make touch choices (Olerud, Boone etc...) So the question is, who goes where?

By waiting until the last minute, Bavasi risks other clubs making moves now rather than risk being left out Sunday. We have already seen the Yankees acquire a starting pitcher, and more moves will be made today and tomorrow. It's a risky move for Bavasi- wait too long, and you are the only dance partner left.

I won't even address what should happen if no moves are made. I'll prefer to not think about that possibility.

I hope Monday is about welcoming our new players aboard.
