Mark Teixeira: He'll be staying. The Braves are still in this, Only 6 games back, the NL East is there for the taking and they'll need their best hitter for the run.
Matt Holliday: Will be staying also. If the Rockies do consider themselves out of it, they will keep Holliday anyway. He's still young, could be part of a rebuilding plan, and O' Dowd had a tendency to not do trades, especially blockbuster ones.
Brian Fuentes: The Red Sox look like the leading candidate for Fuentes, with their big bullpen struggles they could use him as a middle reliever. Boston also has some Starting Pitching prospects they could trade to Colorado.
Ichiro: This is a very tough decision for Seattle: A better team down the road or fans right now? Trading Ichiro will make the very un-popular, since Ichiro is almost the only reason casual fans (who make up most of the M's fans) come. Trading him will ge tsome very good prospects. I think he will be leaving, but to the Yankees, who have more and better prospects than the mets to trade. Melky Cabrera is a likely player that will be involved in the deal.

One thing I would love to see is Matt Holliday in a Mariners uniform. I don't think the Mariners will trade Ichiro. If they do, it might go down as the worst trade in M's History. You can not replace 200 hits, 50+ stolen bases, while barely ever getting caught. As well as the best Arm in Baseball. If the Mariners do trade Ichiro, I do not have the confidence that they will get anything in return. The Mariners front office sucks!
