Jackson just the start of pitching deals

"Edwin Jackson will not be the last starting pitcher traded.

The Blue Jays are working three- and four-team scenarios involving Roy Halladay. The Braves are aggressively shopping Derek Lowe. The Rangers are actively discussing right-hander Kevin Millwood.

Other available starting pitchers include the Reds' Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo, the Royals' Gil Meche, the Rangers' Brandon McCarthy and — only for the right price — the Pirates' Zach Duke and Paul Maholm.

For a team such as the Angels, facing the potential loss of free-agent right-hander John Lackey, the options are plentiful. If the Jays' price for Halladay is too high, they can always turn to Lowe.

The Orioles, pursuing Millwood, could turn to Lowe, who is signed for three years instead of just one and could serve as an ideal anchor for their young rotation.

The Cubs, too, like Millwood, but the Rangers have no interest in a Milton Bradley-for-Millwood exchange. And the Cubs, like most teams on Millwood, would want money from the Rangers to defray Millwood's $12 million salary."
