I remember only a few years ago, teams spent more freely. But the last few years, most clubs haven't been willing to take on new money for talent.
It used to be a regular occurrence for teams to take on aging, veteran, but still talented players with large contracts. Now teams looking for a playoff push seem unwilling to take on the large salary. Recently, the only time this happened is when the Yankees took Bobby Abreu off the Phillies hands for nothing. The only reason this happened was that the Yankees don't give a crap about money.
Brian Giles, Luis Castillo, Melvin Mora, Aubrey Huff, and Danys Baez should all be on the move. If one of them moves, it will be a surprise.
As a result, this trade deadline will be boring (even if Halladay moves).
