As we close in on the August 3rd 5pm CT MLB trade deadline, this will be the place for trade news and rumor updates. It will be updated as more news and info comes out.
August 1: RUMORS
Now, I am including this rumor not because I believe it to be 100% true (the person reporting it has dubious credentials to say the least) but because of this report from Ken Rosenthal (who has impeccable credentials):
It would appear that Larnach was involved in discussions, and there may have been a deal that involved him that came undone, but it did not necessarily involve the Houston Astros. However the initial post get around the league very quickly, and led to the conversation between Larnach and his manager Derek Shelton.
At this point, I would only take this to mean the Twins would listen on Larnach and move him in what they considered the right deal, and that Minnesota is still looking to move one of it's LH hitting OFs for pitching.
