and by “dead” i meant “deal”.
in any case, it’s possible, but unlikely. unfortunately, i think Reagins will continue the long-time Halos tradition of standing pat at the deadline.

Joey,
while they will have 6 top shelf starters, i think it’s highly doubtful that they’d trade any of them. Lackey, obviously, is untouchable. Santana and Saunders, I think, are in the same boat. Garland is a FA after this year.
If Escobar comes back throwing hard and can return to the rotation, Jered Weaver could become trade bait. Last year, the Twins wanted him in a supposed dead for Justin Morneau. He’s hurt his stock a little bit this year, but they could, theoretically, package him up with a few other players/prospects and get a young, impact bat, especially since they have Adenhart and Green waiting down in AAA

With the return of Escobar, the Halos will have 6 quality pitchers (Lackey, Saunders, Santana, Garland, Escobar, and Weaver). You really don’t even need five top of the line starters. The Halos have six. They could really acquire a big-time player bat for one of the six (although Lackey is untouchable). What do you think?
