If the Giants are unwilling to make a deal, I’d say I would agree with you. Anyone else need a second baseman?

The worst part of this is that rosters are beginning to fill in thanks to free agency, and there are still third basemen available in the free agent market. That means even less teams should be interested. Someone call Minnesota!

“A source tells Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com that a deal sending Uggla to the Giants is “not going down.”

Crasnick writes that the first obstacle would be financial. The Giants will have to give Tim Lincecum a major raise in arbitration and are already hamstrung by the contracts of Barry Zito and Aaron Rowand. Uggla is expected to make more than $7MM in 2010.

Sabean & Co. are also hesitant to part with Jonathan Sanchez, as his departure would leave the club with only three proven starters.”

Oh boy. At the risk of overreacting, it seems to me that the list of trade partners is getting shorter. In fact, it seems to have disappeared.
