Today’s article from Buster Olney of ESPN The Magazine reveals a few predictions, moves, deals and decisions:

• Olney believes the San Diego Padres will trade Adrian Gonzalez and Heath Bell before the July 31 deadline to get the maximum value for the two veterans.
• The Rockies are staying in contact with free agent Jason Giambi, but they are considering their other options first. You can see this article about the Rockies’ interest for Robb Quinlan and Fernando Tatis.
• The Tigers are not interested in Johnny Damon.
• Blue Jays’ GM Alex Anthopoulos will play hardball and plans to take their arbitration-eligible players all the way through the process if they cannot come to an agreement by Tuesday. The list includes: Shaun Marcum, Jason Frasor, Brian Tallet, Casey Janssen, Shawn Camp and Jeremy Accardo.
• Catcher Mike Rabelo signed a minor league contract with the Detroit Tigers (his former team) and will compete for the team’s number 2 catcher’s position.
