Now that the Indians and Brewers have broken the ice with this week's trade of 2007 Cy Young Award winner CC Sabathia, phone lines around baseball should be heating up with trade talk in anticipation of the July 31 deadline.

"I wouldn't say that," Angels general manager Tony Reagins said. "There are clubs surveying the landscape, if you will."

But Reagins said he would not put the Angels in that category. They are getting calls with trade inquiries—but not really making any of their own, he said. Reagins reiterated the stance he has taken since missing out on Miguel Cabrera during the winter trade season.

"I like our club," he said with a laugh, aware that he has repeated the statement to reporters many times.
