Bartolo Colon has already called for his moving van. He won't be the last.

With Thursday night's stunning deal that sent Colon to the (gulp) Expos for Lee Stevens and three prime-time prospects (Brandon Phillips, Cliff Lee, Grady Sizemore), the summer trading season has officially begun.

The Indians were the first team to announce to the world that they'll be sellers in this market. But they've got company. Already, even before we flip our calendars to July, there are seven teams launching their summer closeout sales, according to a survey this week of GMs and club officials.

Here is a look at those seven teams -- and players who are said to be out there:

Cleveland Indians
For the first time since the early 1990s, the Indians are thinking not about this year but about two years down the road. They've reached the point where the AL Central is clearly out of reach this season. So they're telling clubs that anyone who doesn't figure to be part of the rebuilt 2004-2005 Indians is available.

Colon was the first member of the glory-years Indians to go this summer. But he won't be the last. Indians GM Mark Shapiro told Rumblings that now that this deal is done, "It's a sign that we're no longer attempting to contend this summer. So I'll talk to every veteran player about where we're going and how it should be handled."

In other words, this deal is a clear signal to the other veterans that the selloff has begun. So if those with no-trade rights -- Jim Thome, Ellis Burks, Paul Shuey and Omar Vizquel -- choose to stay, they should know what's coming.

Shapiro appears to be most reluctant to trade Shuey and Bob Wickman, but he has told teams he will "listen." Thome, however, is another matter.

Thome played golf with Red Sox manager Grady Little this week, then said afterward he wants to finish his career in Cleveland. But that always seemed unlikely. And the inclusion of Lee Stevens in the Colon deal, plus the earlier acquisition of first baseman-outfielder Ben Broussard from the Reds (for Russ Branyan), indicates Shapiro believes Thome would waive his no-trade clause to go to the right place.

In fact, Thome has told friends he would consider a deal if it helps the Indians -- especially if it's Boston, where he and Little are close. Thome still has more than $4 million in salary coming this season. So if a team interested in Thome is inclined to pick up all of that, there are indications Shapiro won't ask for nearly the return in players that he got for Colon, who has an option for next season.

Philadelphia Phillies
When the Phillies were only trying to trade Scott Rolen, it left them almost no room to maneuver, because they had to get a third baseman back. Now, though, they've added a half-dozen other players to their sale rack.

GM Ed Wade has been saying publicly the team is merely taking "parallel courses" -- meaning he's only listening now while waiting to see if his underachieving club can make one last run to get back in the NL East race. But an official of one team that talked to the Phillies said, flatly: "That's not the conversation we had with them."

So that means the list of available Phillies now includes two starting pitchers -- Robert Person and/or Terry Adams, reliever Dan Plesac, first baseman Travis Lee and outfielder Ricky Ledee.

Clubs asking about catcher Mike Lieberthal are being told the Phillies prefer to keep him but will listen. The Phillies also would like to hang onto Plesac if he indicated he'd like to pitch another season, but he's currently leaning toward retirement.

Texas Rangers
Even as the Rangers were winning eight in a row -- which at least assures they won't finish 40 games out again -- they were sending out signals they were ready to unload a number of veteran players.

Pudge Rodriguez is said to be on the list but hasn't gotten much interest at the moment. The other big name with clear market value is free agent-to-be Kenny Rogers, who has had a terrific year -- but missed a start this week with a stiff back.

Gabe Kapler, Ismael Valdes, Dave Burba, Todd Van Poppel -- they can all be yours if you'd be kind enough to assume their contracts. And it's probably about time for Rudy Seanez (almost ready to come off the DL) to make his annual return to Atlanta. But Rafael Palmeiro has made it clear he isn't waiving his no-trade to go anywhere.

Toronto Blue Jays
The Jays have a slew of interesting names on the market ... but Raul Mondesi makes 11 million bucks, Esteban Loaiza takes home $6 million a year, and Shannon Stewart and Junior Cruz are $4-million men. So the question we keep hearing is: Will the Blue Jays be willing to pick up some of those salaries?

That's especially true in the case of Mondesi. The Yankees and Mariners are both believed to have interest -- but not if they have to take on Mondesi's entire contract (he's signed through 2003).

GM J.P. Ricciardi also has been asking for everyone's best young players. And the more salary the Blue Jays assume of the guy they're dealing, the more the price goes up. But ultimately, Toronto figures to move at least one outfielder -- and as many as three pitchers (Loaiza, Chris Carpenter and Kelvim Escobar). So they're a team to watch.

Carlos Delgado would also be in the sale bin if he'd give any sign he'd waive his no-trade. But so far, nada.

Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Several clubs report the Devil Rays have stepped up efforts to reduce payroll and retool in the last couple of weeks. And they're willing to take cash, players or combinations thereof.

The hitch is, there's zero interest in Greg Vaughn or Wilson Alvarez. One club official said of Ben Grieve, "The question we keep asking is, where did all his tools go?" And John Flaherty has been on the market for two years, with no takers.

Players who appear to have some value: Steve Cox, Ryan Rupe, Paul Wilson, Esteban Yan and, if they'll move him, the best player on the field every night -- Randy Winn.

There's no doubt the most coveted Devil Ray is Joe Kennedy, but inquiring clubs have been told he's staying.

Kansas City Royals
You can't have Mike Sweeney. You can't get Carlos Beltran. Other than that, the Royals are a veritable smorgasbord of availability.

In the starting-pitching aisle, Jeff Suppan and Paul Byrd (who own all but three of the rotation's 17 wins) are on the market.

In the bullpen department, Roberto Hernandez and Jason Grimsley are out there.

Neifi Perez, Joe Randa, Michael Tucker, Luis Alicea, Chuck Knoblauch -- they can be all yours for the right price.

GM Allard Baird is determined to get young. But beyond Byrd, Suppan and Hernandez, most of this roster is close to untradeable.

Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers traded David Weathers for Ruben Quevedo before the deadline last July, and they're looking to make similar deals this time around.

Jose Hernandez is probably their most intriguing commodity, because no one is taking Jeffrey Hammonds at $7.5 million a year or Jamey Wright, at $4.25 million.

Alex Ochoa or Matt Stairs could get dealt as bats off the bench. And if they'll talk about reliever Ray King, we've heard two clubs say they'd be interested. But it's hard to find a monster deal in the making involving this club.
