"During the three seasons prior to this one, some big-name pitchers have been moved before the trading deadline.

CC Sabathia was dealt in 2008, Cliff Lee in 2009, and Lee again and Roy Oswalt last July.

Those in the know say not to expect anything of that magnitude this time around.

You do hear Carlos Zambrano's name bandied about, but not many teams are able to afford what's left of the reminder of this season's $17 million salary and also have to take on next year's $18 million ticket.

Relievers are probably the best bet to move, since bullpens are fluid entities.

Last week, we looked at ten hitters who could be on the move; this time around, we target some arms.

• Francisco Rodriguez, METS: A lot of people think the Mets will move him, especially since a vesting option for $17.5 million for 2012 goes into effect if he finishes 55 games; at 29, he's more than halfway there.

Rodriguez is still an effective closer, as his 20 saves and 41 strikeouts in 37 innings attest. But his 39 hits allowed and 15 walks also show that his innings are interesting, to say the least."
