Jason Stark reports that the Giants are interested in O's closer Jorge Julio.

The Baltimore Sun reports that the O's offered Rafael Palmeiro to the Los Angeles Dodgers but were rejected. I don't see why anyone would want him if he has to play first base as his range is terrible. Maybe someone could use him as a bat off the bench? That is how far this guy has fallen in my eyes.

The mystery team from yesterday that was interested in Roberts or Hairston? Tampa Bay. They decided they are sellers however and won't be taking either. That may mean that neither player goes anywhere. However, "club officials said they are confident both will clear waivers next month" if there is trade interest.
