This seemingly leaves B J Upton out of the mix. I gotta think he is moved before ST.

Good move for the Rays IMO.

Very good deal for the Rays. Projections I've seen have him maintaining a fair amount of power and plate discipline even if his average drops thanks to the high strikeout rates.

I thought the hot rumor was either Crawford or Baldelli being moved for pitching, and then Upton moving to the OF.

Baldelli remains a possibility to be dealt...but the Rays want a SP AND a position player in return...too much for most teams.

Crawford being dealt is a rumor...and a rumor only. His name is flung around all the time...but I can pretty much guarantee that Crawford ain't goin' nowhere.
