Federal Baseball.com Predicts...The FUTURE!!!

July 16, 2009 - Ed Chigliak, in an article entitled, "SB Nation's Mid-Season NL East Roundtable":

Ed Chigliak (Federal Baseball): I was already laying the groundwork for a Nick Johnson to San Francisco for Jonathan Sanchez rumor since Sanchez was struggling all season and a Johnson deal seems regrettably inevitable, then Sanchez had to go and ruin it with his no-hitter this week. I can't think of an instance of a pitcher with a no-hitter being traded in the same year he threw a no-no...unless you count DC starter (currently Triple A Syracuse starter) Shairon Martis, who threw a rule-shortened no-no in the '06 WBC and was traded to Washington that summer...

July 29, 2009 - Roy Halladay still likely to get traded from Toronto - SI.com's Jon Heyman

The Nationals requested Jonathan Sanchez in a package for Johnson, and that might have been a fair request before Sanchez's no-hitter.

For my next trick, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat...
