The Los Angeles Dodgers are waiting to see how healthy their pitching staff will be before making a trade deadline decision.

Trade season doesn't start in earnest until after the All-Star break, but with just over six weeks until the trade deadline, it's officially trade rumors season.

Yet, with so many pitchers injured, few teams will be willing to trade major-league starters, or even prospects at Double A or Triple A. The risk of getting caught short will be too great. Which isn’t to say a buy-sell strategy for the Orioles is unrealistic.
