While the entire baseball world waits on the Blue Jays and Roy Halladay heading toward the July 31 trade deadline, the Oakland A's possess a pretty intriguing chip in their own right in slugging left fielder Matt Holliday.
Will general manager Billy Beane decide to move him? What type of package could the A's expect in return for him? And would moving to pennant race get his bat going again? FanHouse's Jeff Fletcher joined me to discuss all those things, and to break down the AL West race in the latest BaseCast.

The All-Star Game is just a few hours away, so what better time is there to catch up with MLB FanHouse writers Ed Price and Jeff Fletcher on the scene in St. Louis to preview the 80th Midsummer Classic?
In this edition of BaseCast, Price and Fletcher talk with yours truly, Andrew Johnson, about whether AL manager Joe Maddon and NL manager Charlie Manuel chose the right pitchers to start the game, what, if any, surprises there are in their lineup cards and whether the National League can end its 12-game winless streak Tuesday night.
Listen in after the jump for a (quick) preview of the All-Star Game.

The baseball world will descend on St. Louis next week for the All-Star Game, but with road series at Miller Park and Wrigley Field before the break, the Cards already seem to have the attention of the hardball-loving universe.
With that in mind, we reached out to St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Bernie Miklasz to get some insight on Tony La Russa's crew, the awesomeness that is Albert Pujols, and what kind of celebration the All-Star Game will be for St. Louis.

The Midsummer Classic is less than a week away. That means the baseball world is consumed by two things -- the good, the bad and the ugly of the All-Star Game (snubs, rules, Home Run Derby, etc.) and the growing buzz on the trade market heading toward the July 31 non-waiver deadline.
In the third edition of BaseCast, hosts Will Brinson and yours truly, Andrew Johnson, talk everything All-Star Game with Jeff Fletcher, then size up the trade market with Ed Price and discuss whether the Blue Jays would really consider trading ace Roy Halladay.
In between, catch Jeff's exclusive interview with Marlins team president Larry Beinfest. It's all after the jump.

He's baaaaaaack. Manny Ramirez rejoins the Dodgers Friday night in San Diego after a 50-game suspension for a violation of Major League Baseball's drug prevention program.
FanHouse's own Jeff Fletcher will be at Petco Park to see and report on Manny's return, so in preparation he joined Andrew Johnson (Prez) on the second edition of BaseCast to talk about what the media horde will be like, how, if at all, the slugger will address the media, what impact he'll have on the Dodgers on the field and how the road fans will react to him post-suspension.
And just for good measure, there's also Fletch's exclusive interview with Tigers center fielder Curtis Granderson. Listen in after the jump.

One of the biggest moves of this free agent season went down on Thursday, when it was learned that Ron Artest will be heading to the Lakers. Matt Moore and I break down what is effectively going to be L.A. trading Trevor Ariza for Artest, as it was also announced that Ariza agreed to a deal with the Rockets.
After plenty of Artest talk, we also review some of the other deals that have gone down, and ponder the fates of some other would-be contenders like the Cavaliers, Pistons, Magic, and Celtics.

Hey there! It's the initial MLB FanHouse BaseCast. You know you're excited, and frankly, you should be, because it's pretty freaking awesome. In this episode, host tandem Will Brinson and Andrew Johnson (Prez) welcome Matt Snyder and Ed Price into the proverbial fray.
We discuss -- with Snyder -- the Cubs' lack of success, the insane notion of cutting Carlos Zambrano and if a division title is still in the works. Then Ed joins us from Yankee Stadium where we (ironically?) talk about the banged up Mets, the NL East race and whether the Braves plan on making a deadline deal or not.
On the eve of the NBA Draft, what's likely to be the biggest trade of the season has nothing to do with any of the players that will be shaking David Stern's hand on Thursday night. Shaquille O'Neal is headed to Cleveland to play alongside LeBron James, and Matt Moore joined me to break down the implications.
Are the Cavs now officially contenders? Did the Suns get anything more than cash savings in return? And most importantly, will all of our heads explode if Shaq, Lebron, and the Cavs face Kobe Bryant and the Lakers in the Finals next year?
Important stuff to be sure, and we discuss it all, after the jump.

With the NBA Draft just a few days away, Matt Moore and Tom Ziller joined me to discuss some of the many ways that we might see things play out on the big night in NYC. And just about every scenario hinges on what the Memphis Grizzlies decide to do with the number two pick.
There's Ricky Rubio and Hasheem Thabeet to consider, or the team could try to trade down to get some more value, while still scooping up someone like Tyreke Evans. We know that the Clippers have the first pick, but for all intents and purposes, the Grizzlies are on the clock.
The FanHouse Podcast: Because bloggers are much sexier on the phone.
Stephanie Stradley has been with FanHouse since its inception, and Thursday night might have been the lowlight of her internet career: she joined Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson on HouseCast.
Actually, Stephanie's a lawyer in real life so we decided to have her on to talk about two of her recent posts: Tweeting with T.O., and Donte Stallworth's plea deal. And while the Stallworth news has obvious legal implications, so does T.O. TweeterGate.
Stephanie also talks about the Twitter phenomenon -- especially among athletes -- the differences between the Stallworth and Vick cases, the prospects for the Texans in 2009, and, of course, Brett Favre. (Seriously.)
