Mark, the Braves offered Edgar Renteria and a top pitching prospect for Jon Garland. And with Yunel Escobar coming on, the Braves are likely to trade Edgar. I don't think they would add the top pitching prospect since Garland has been bad in the second half, but still ... Renteria for Garland? I think the Braves would do it, but would Kenny? -- Danny Granger, Chicago
A source told the Boston Globe last month that the Sox were close to pulling off a deal that would have sent Mark Buehrle to Atlanta for Renteria. I'd be careful about pulling off a deal with Renteria only because he's had some ankle problems. His age (32) doesn't worry me that much, and he's having one of his best seasons. But why not aim for Escobar, as Kenny reportedly did in another Buehrle trade report?
