Buster Olney is citing a source that claims the likely hood of the A's completing any more trades before todays deadline is "less than 1%."

The A's have been busy players as we approached the deadline dealing both Joe Blanton and Rich Harden. However, it appears that other Oakland players that had been rumored to be on the market will stay put.

Most notably, this includes closer Houston Street who had been sought by several clubs including the Cardinals and the White Sox. With right at 4 hours remaining until the deadline, the removal of Street from the market could push teams seeking a reliever to meet Colorado's reportedly steep asking price for Brian Fuentes or Atlanta's similarly high price for Will Ohman.
