Josh Towers, the embattled Toronto Blue Jays pitcher who was banished to the bullpen after losing his last start to the New York Yankees, has reportedly cleared waivers with the American League club and is the focus of trade talk. It was reported in the Denver Post yesterday that the Colorado Rockies, desperate for pitching help as they try to mount a challenge in the National League West over the final six weeks of the regular season, are interested in either Towers or Steve Trachsel of the Baltimore Orioles. Ken Rosenthal, the baseball analyst with Fox Sports, also reported that both players have cleared waivers and that the feeling was Towers could be moved in the next few days.
