According to Jon Morosi of FOXSports.com, "a lot of clubs" are already showing interest in Hiroki Kuroda.
And why not? Despite his 5-9 record, Kuroda has a very solid 3.10 ERA and 77/28 K/BB ratio over 101 2/3 innings. He'd be a fine addition to any pitching staff. According to Morosi, the Rockies and Reds had scouts at his most recent start, though it's not clear if they were there to see him in particular. Of course, Kuroda would have to waive his no-trade clause to facilitate any deal.

SI.com's Jon Heyman reports that the Rangers are "interested" in Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran.
Serious trade talks probably won't get underway until after the All-Star break and plenty of other teams will be in the running to snag Beltran, who has maintained his health this season while batting .278/.372/.480 with 10 home runs and 49 RBI in 76 games. The Rangers will also be looking to upgrade their bullpen and could have interest in Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez.
