Trade Deadline: Padres holding on to starter Edinson Volquez 07.24.12 at 3:25 pm ET

Edinson Volquez

Potential trade target Edinson Volquez likely will remain with the Padres after drawing some significant interest around the league, according to CBSSports.com baseball insider Jon Heyman.

MLB.com’s Mark Bowman had reported that Volquez had drawn interest from the Braves along with Zach Greinke, Matt Garza and Ryan Dempster. Dempster had reportedly been dealt to the Braves on Tuesday, but the deal has been held up due to Dempster’s desire to be traded to the Dodgers, according to Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com.

Volquez, who is 6-7 on the season with a 3.34 ERA, is coming off a complete-game one-hit shutout against the Astros last Thursday. The 29-year-old righty has recorded 109 strikeouts on the season.

Carlos Quentin and Volquez were both rumored to be traded from the Padres before the deadline, but Quentin signed a three-year, $27 million contract extension on Sunday.

After spending fewer than 10 games per season with the Rangers in each of his first three seasons in the season, Volquez was traded to the Reds along with reliever Danny Herrera for Josh Hamilton. In his first year with Cincinnati, Volquez went 17-6 with a 3.21 ERA while being named an All-Star for the only time in his career.

However, Volquez’s frequent injuries have hindered his career, and he became part of the Reds’ trade package for Mat Latos.

    Out-coached again Doc? You whining loser.

  • Ryan

    Doc, there’s really not much more you can do. This team is old and decrepit. Just really sad to watch. It’s too bad Danny couldn’t move Paul and KG at the trade deadline. Unfortunately for us Celtics fans, it looks like it will be a very long time until we have a title contender again. Unless by some miracle Danny can pull a rabbit out of his butt and make a great trade. But Kevin McHale isn’t walking through that door.
    Btw, can someone please throw an elbow in Kenyon Martin’s ugly face? It’s obvious the Celtics aren’t going to win this series, but can’t they keep their dignity at least? You got big bad Kenyon Martin blocking shots and slamming dunks all over you, and then flexing and talking junk to the crowd and his teammates and all the Celtics can do is watch him and look dumb. What a pathetic display of complacency by the Celtics last night. Do these guys still have blood coursing through their veins or what?!!

    It would have been nice if officiating was equal, but the C’s should be use to that now *cough* Miami series *cough*..these rotations are kinda confusing and what happened to the pitbulls? Is CLee in the doghouse?

  • Joe

    KG is a fraud. A great smack talker, but he’s old, worn down and just can’t get it done any more. All this BS about what motivates him and the “fire” is such garbage

    NBA is fixed. Stern is a scumbag.. Boycott the NBA.

  • fromtheshire

    How old are you? 11? Does your mother know you typed in “sucks”? You must be a new york yankoff fan. Go away troll!

  • Conner Henry

    17 rings to 2….come back and post when your team reaches double digits.

  • joe

    Doc’s an excellent coach. Given, the # of injuries and the roster he’s left with….there really isn’t much more he can do. Green is waaaaay to inconsistent. Pierce & KG are old and showing it.
