Pennant races are heating up and the MLB non-waiver trade deadline is imminent, here's a list of my favorite places to get information on who will get the airbrush treatment in Topps Updates & Highlights.
MLB Trade Rumors
An excellent blog for everything trade related. A knowledgeable community discusses (sometimes heatedly) all the rumors of the day. If an insider hears a tip, they usually post it not long after.
Pro Sports Daily
A top-notch news aggregator with links to just about any newspaper article that might have a useful rumor. Think Ben Maller on steroids.
Ben Maller
The original, although it's been absorbed into Fox Sports. It has forums for discussion, but unfortunately no updates on the weekend.
Sports Lizard News
This thing is nifty. Sports Lizard's news reader is a customizable page of up to 10 RSS feeds of your favorite site's top headlines. Set it up to track MLB headlines and let the Lizard do all the work.
CBS Sportsline Trade Tracker and On the Block
On the Block shows a pretty good list of who is likely to be traded with analysis by Scott Miller. It's a good quick glance at who might go where, although it can't compete with the lightning fast analysis of MLB Trade Rumors. It's not always 100% accurate either, as of the time of this post, the Braves aren't even in the running for Mark Teixeira, who is labeled "Staying Put".
The trade deadline is this Tuesday, but then the fun really begins as we start to watch for who passes waivers and who doesn't for the next trade deadline at the end of August. Hey, what else do you have to do while waiting for Allen & Ginter to go live?
