As per ESPN Insider on their "Rumor Central": Link: http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/features/rumors Astros shopping Lidge? Jul 29 - The Astros appear to be close to sending RHP Brad Lidge to the Texas Rangers, according to ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. This might be related to the Astros' efforts to land a hitter. Lidge makes $3.975 million. My question is for who? Could it be the begining of a three team trade? As we all now know the Tejada deal might or might not be dead now. But as we all also know they were goign after Soriano just as hard. Wonder if we might be trading Lidge to the Rangers to acquire some one the Nationals want while avoiding losing one of our top prospects? Who knows. What do you all think?
