MLB Trade Deadline Approaching - July 31

The deadline for trades is quickly approaching. Just a week away.

Names being tossed around:

OF Matt Holliday, Colorado Rockies: He has one year and $13 million left before free agency, and after 2009 the Rockies will have little chance to keep him.

1B Mark Teixeira, Atlanta Braves: He's a free agent after the season, but if they're in the race, how can they move him?

LH reliever Brian Fuentes, Rockies: He's a free agent after the season, and Manny Corpas is the future closer.

OF Jason Bay, Pittsburgh Pirates: The Pirates are asking a lot, but why not?

RH reliever Huston Street, Oakland Athletics: When GM Billy Beane makes up his mind to trade someone, it's a done deal.

Others: 3B Adrian Beltre, Seattle Mariners; OF Xavier Nady, Pirates; RH starter Livan Hernandez, Minnesota Twins; 3B Garrett Atkins, Rockies; 3B Casey Blake, Cleveland Indians
