Probably irrelavent because Kenny said he's not moving McCarthy, but Comcast Sports Net's Chuck Garfien did say the Sox have '3 deals on the table' without further explanation. Could a deal for Barry Zito be one of them?
If Zito remains with the A's, it won't be because A's GM Billy Beane was unwilling to trade him.
I wonder if Beane would take a year and a half of Garcia, or even Vazquez.
Beane would move Zito without hesitation if the Mets offered Class AAA outfielder Lastings Milledge or the White Sox offered right-hander Brandon McCarthy in multi-player packages.
Update [2006-7-26 13:49:45 by The Cheat]: I didn't hear it, so this is something like 4th hand information, but Buster Olney was on the radio the morning speculating that the White Sox may be involved in a 3-way deal for Zito.
