    How credible is that site?

    I don't doubt it at all though, although the phrase "prospects are involved" is usually is the death sentence for any deal Purpura is trying to make.

    Well, let's see. The "source" mixed up Miguel Tejada for Jose Contreras. I'm not exactly sold on their credibility.

    I have seen other rumors that it would be for Willy Taveras and that they already (allegedly) have a deal in place for a replacement center fielder. My guess, if any of this has even a modicum of truth to it, that Preston Wilson would be brought in.

    Purpura is interested in someone? So basically, we're not gonna get him?

    Purpura is ONLY interested in FOOD. And when Purpura wants food, he gets it.
