The Pujols thread is getting too big now and the focus of the conversation is turning towards what the A's will do now. So I thought it was appropriate to start a new thread.

I'll get things started by linking to a few recent rumors:

1. Buster says the Rangers asked about Gio and suggest the teams are a good fit and that the A's might want Martin Perez. I say Profar and Perez or go swim in the Rio Grande. The Rangers may be getting desperate with the recent LAA activity. LINK
2. It looks like the D'Backs are focusing on Cahill instead of Gio. Probably a smart move on their part unless they want to trade their top prospects. LINK
3. Slusser says the A's didn't rule out a bid on Darvish. LINK

This should be enough to get things started...
