Trade Rumors as of 2:30 PM EST

The Trade Deadline is nearing and teams are looking to make alot of moves. Some names being tossed around surround Oscar Hernandez, Ben Revere, Vern Carman, Jon Lester, Lonnie Chisenhall, Chris Young, and Garrett Jones.

Oscar Hernandez- Seattle reporting there has been activity but not enough to move him yet. Boston is a team that has presented interest but the Mariners are not sure if it is enough to deal their starting catcher. Hernandez markets seems to be quiet outside of Boston. My projection is he doesn't move.

Ben Revere- A shocking name here at deadline but only hearing it is talks. The Marlins are reported to be talking to teams such as the Angels, Dodgers, and White Sox. Early reports see the Dodgers as a suitable candidate. My projection is he doesn't move. Revere is a guy who will bring in a huge package. Not sure if many teams will want to give it up.

Vern Carman- Rumors are saying Arizona potentially. The Diamondbacks would love to bring in a young SP and New York likes the young outfields in Arizona, which is what they are looking for. Don't be shocked if this gets done. My projection is Carman is in Phoenix at the end of the day.

Jon Lester- Lester went for a small deal as the White Sox acquired Lester for 2B prospect Jaime Perkins. Lester has struggled greatly in New York this year and looks to come over and have a good last month with the Sox. Lester does not look like he will make comp so the question is will the white sox re up Lester with no compensation.

Lonnie Chisenhall, Chris Young, and Garrett Jones are all names flying around but rumors are the front is quiet on them.
