PRO Trade Rumors: Jose Bautista, Paul Konerko, Ty Wigginton and Austin Kearns

By Allan

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports suggests that three of the majors’ current home-run leaders – the Blue Jays Jose Bautista, White Sox’s Paul Konerko and Orioles’ Ty Wigginton could be available by the July 31 trade deadline.

Baustista, tied for the MLB lead of 14 home runs with Konerko, is earning $2.4 million with one more year of arbitration remaining.

Rosenthal suggests that Indians left fielder Austin Kearns could be an attractive piece at the deadline. He says the San Francisco Giants would be a good candidate for Kearns’ services. Kearns has revived his career offensively and is a plus defender with a strong arm. Bonus: He’s only making $750,000 this season.
