I'm experiencing Trade Deadline Overload.

The deadline for non-waiver baseball deals is July 31.

It can't come soon enough.

If I read another story siting "a source close to the team," I'm going to Buster my Olney.

Every day there is a new rumor. Heck, every day there are 100 new rumors.

And none of them actually have a named source attached.

This inside info could be coming from the beer vendor for all we know. The beer dude is close to the team, after all.

And don't forget the cotton candy cat. I'm sure he's familiar with the thought process of the team, too.

What we have is a mountain of useless information that is usually refuted the next day by the team owner, general manager or manager — or even the player who is the subject of said rumor.

All the while, fans are left wondering if any of it is true.

Then there is Roy Halladay's situation in Toronto.

Forget Michael Jackson. Halladay is the most talked about man in America these days.

Every day, there are as many rumors about his possible destination as there are tweets on Twitter.

The Phillies, Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Bad News Bears — everyone seems to have a shot at landing "Doc."

Well, except for the Pirates.

Speaking of that other team in Pittsburgh, the franchise is also involved in a ton of rumors.

The Buccos offered contract extensions to Freddy Sanchez and Jack Wilson — or at least that's what general manager Neal Huntington is calling them.

Basically, it's a low-ball offer designed as a cop out to fans when the middle infield duo are indeed traded to the Rockies or Tigers or Mets or the Springfield Isotopes.

Huntington desperately wants to trade one or both, but after the backlash he received for the Nate McLouth and Nyjer Morgan deals, he wants a built-in excuse.

"Hey, we offered them contracts. They wouldn't listen, so we were forced to deal them," Huntington probably will say in his news conference, even though the contract extension amounted to nearly a 50 percent pay cut and a coupon for a Happy Meal.

Sanchez and Wilson rumors are piling up faster that Pirate losing seasons.

Sanchez might go, but Wilson might stay (a source not even close to the team told me. Actually, it was the mailman).

Wilson has been involved in more rumors than Lindsay Lohan over the years.

I've gotten to the point where I can't even watch a game without cringing every time an announcer starts to talk about trade rumors.

"Baseball Tonight" has become "Trade Deadline Tonight." Buster Olney is getting more face time than Barack Obama. (The writer for ESPN the Magazine wears more stylish jeans).

I don't recall a time when there was this much oversaturation of rumor in sports reporting.

Blame the Internet for that, perhaps. Blame Twitter. Blame our craving for fast food news. Blame ESPN.

Sources close to the Butler Eagle tell me I am out of space.
