According to the Boston Globe, several National League teams are looking into dealing for Baltimore Orioles slugger Vladimir Guerrero.
Said the paper:
A couple of National League teams are already evaluating him as a trade-deadline pickup. The issue: How much of a liability would he be in the field? Is he a player you could “hide’’ out there just to take advantage of his bat? Heck, the Cardinals put Lance Berkman in right and it hasn’t been so bad.
But would the Orioles deal him? That remains to be seen.
Vladdy is currently hitting .289 with 5 homeruns and 23 RBIs for the Orioles, and at 36, likely doesn’t have too many productive years left. Baltimore signed Guerrero to a one-year deal last off-season, and probably wouldn’t hesitate to give him up, especially if they could get a young prospect in return.
The fact that the Orioles are 26-31 and in last place in the AL East doesn’t hurt either.
