Piazza reaches out to Marlins
We hear Dan Lozano, South Florida resident Mike Piazza's agent, told the Marlins the former All-Star catcher would welcome finishing his career here. But the Marlins (content with Mike Rabelo/Matt Treanor) have shown no interest, largely because of defense. Piazza -- who was a Marlin for one week in 1998 -- hit .275 with eight homers and 44 RBI as Oakland's designated hitter in 2007.

This Guy Hates Pizza
I mean, it's mind-boggling. Mike Pizza once hit 40 home runs and OPS+ed 185 as a dude who has to sit in a painful crouch for half of a three-hour game every day. Plus he wasn't a Bondsian-level jerkass, just sort of prickly-blah. Everyone loves Pizza! ...

A's prepared to make offer to Bonds
Bonds fits the A’s criteria in many ways. First, he’ll be relatively cheap, given all the off-the-field issues around him, plus he’s 43 and his playing time occasionally is limited by injuries. Second, Oakland almost annually brings in a prominent player on the downside of a good career: Mike Piazza, Frank Thomas, David Justice, Ron Gant, Eric Karros, et al.

 MLB Trade Rumors: July 6th
MLB Trade Rumors: July 6th
Mike Piazza's days in Oakland may be limited. The Mariners, Twins and Angels all have problems at the DH position and are likely players in the Piazza sweepstakes.
