Executive: Trade Market Is 'Woefully Thin'A major league executive has labeled this summer's trade market as a weak one. "There is just not very much movement at all," one executive said. "I count only six teams that are ready to sell." The executive listed the Cubs, Astros, Rockies, Athletics, Mariners and Twins as sellers.

Ramirez has been eligible to join the A's on May 30 after serving a 50-game suspension for violating major-league baseball's drug policy last season.

Oakland hoped that Ramirez would be ready to help the big league club when his 50-game suspension ended May 30. However, Ramirez has hit just .243 over 11 games at the Triple-A level and hasn't even played a full game in the past week because of a left leg injury. "Until he's on the field on a regular basis and we see where he's at from a baseball standpoint, we're really not in a position where we're ready to make a decision," Billy Beane said. "We said from Day 1 that nothing is set in stone."

Oakland defeated Texas 12-1 in California. "We went in with a really good plan and the execution of it was exactly what we wanted to do," Parker said. "It's one of those days. I had good stuff and they were off a little bit." Michael Young grounded a single through the middle on a slider to lead off the eighth, ending Parker's no-hit bid. "I made a bad pitch and he hit it up the middle and did what he was supposed to do," Parker said. He got a warm ovation from the crowd of 10,120 and then recovered to get out of the inning on two more pitches -- a popup by Nelson Cruz and an inning-ending double play from David Murphy.
