Ex-Cardinals Watch 7-28-09: Jack Wilson Extension Talks Off For Now; Scott Rolen Trade Talks; Daric Barton Heading To D.L.; Fernando Tatis Grand Slam

Jack Wilson (Pirates):
There's still a good chance that the Pirates will move at least one of their middle infielders this week.

Minnesota remains the most interested club in the market for second baseman Freddy Sanchez, one source said, although Boston's interest in shortstop Jack Wilson doesn't appear to be as strong as it once was.

The Pirates have put on hold any attempt to sign shortstop Jack Wilson and second baseman Freddy Sanchez to contract extensions and, instead, are focused on entertaining trade offers for those players.

Scott Rolen (Blue Jays):
Despite an 0-6 trip to Los Angeles and Chicago, the Reds have continued to talk to Toronto about acquiring third baseman Scott Rolen, and sources said the deal has a chance of happening.
CBS Sports

Daric Barton (Athletics):
The A's on Monday conceded that Daric Barton's strained left hamstring is worse than expected, and a stint on the disabled list is more than likely.

Jeff Suppan (Brewers):
Starter Jeff Suppan was left in the game long enough to allow 10 runs and 10 hits, including the first of Nationals right fielder Josh Willingham's two grand slams, as Washington, owner of Major League Baseball's worst record, stormed into Miller Park for a 14-6 win in the opener of a four-game series.

It came with one out in the eighth, following walks to Luis Castillo and Wright, a sacrifice bunt by No. 4 hitter Daniel Murphy, an intentional walk to Francoeur and a change of pitcher -- from right-hander Juan Rincon, who had replaced starter Ubaldo Jimenez at the start of the inning, to left-hander Franklin Morales.
