Were you hoping your new name would get the deal done?

Cubs trade Maddux to Dodgers
Greg Maddux is going to the Dodgers as the Cubs deal the future Hall of Famer to L.A. for infielder Cesar Izturis, CBS SportsLine.com's Scott Miller has learned.

Local MN radio is reporting Soriano wasn't traded. No idea who their source is.

Re: Official Trade Deadline Thread- Rumors, Transactions and Your Own Crazy Ideas

lol...Perez on the Padres might be a nice little set-up there. Maybe he can re-find his talent in a pitcher's park.

Maybe.

EDIT: For Izturis? That's it?

There's no way in hell Lester is bring traded. Relax Red Sox fans. Theo and the baseball ops knows what they're doing. I am 100% positive they have uncovered every stone, and if they make no trades, I am also sure that it was because it wasn't in the best long term interests of the team.

That's surprising. Would he pass through waivers?

Word is they passed on Kip Wells due to health concerns.

Re: Official Trade Deadline Thread- Rumors, Transactions and Your Own Crazy Ideas

I don't think the Sox did anything, and the Wells trade didn't even go final so I don't know what his status is. It would be a panic move to give up on Crisp right now and I wasn't crazy about breaking up the infield because the strength of this club has been the defense.

No... I think any team with cash would be happy to take on his prorated salary for the rest of this year.

Really? We should have been able to get him if that's all it took.
