Walker deal is dead. Marlins are busy getting a starting pitcher and a relief pitcher.

Johnson deal is dead also, he's not being traded to anyone.

Finley deal is not dead apparently. It still may happen.

1 hour left!
 
20 minutes left...

"Finley is available still, but Werth nor Jackson will be included"


good news indeed!!!
 
Marlins acquire SP Ismael Valdez from Padres for Class A pitching prospect.

And they picked up relief pitcher Rudy Seanez from the Royals for OF Abraham Nunez.
 
Brett Mayne also part of the finley deal. Damn I"m scared i dont know who the dodgers gave up?

damn murphy gone
 
Whoa. It's on their MLB front page. Why exactly are you not behind this trade? Sure you give up a great pitcher, but you don't have a good SS, and your SP is good to begin with.
 
OH man the deal gets more interesting. Cubs just have Cabrerra for now...

Cubs get Cabrera from Expos

The Expos have sent shortstop Orlando Cabrera to the Cubs for shortstop Alex Gonzalez, third baseman Brendan Harris and Class AAA righthander Francis Beltran -- a trade that might be the precursor to a four-team blockbuster that would send Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra to the Cubs and righthander Derek Lowe to the Twins.

The Expos-Cubs trade is confirmed, but the other aspects of the deal are still being negotiated and might not be completed. If the deal goes through, the Red Sox could end up with Cabrera and Twins first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz.

I think the rest will fall into place.

NOMAR = CUB

Glad I wasn't around to hear this rumor, smells of BS. Marlins needed to get rid of Penny or Pavano, not both. Pavano has been the Marlins ace pitcher all year. Penny has been losing some steam.
 
It would be sad to see Clement go, but at least it's the Red Sox, so I can still root for him.

Personally, I wouldn't make the trade, but if the team has already decided that Maddux would be our #4 playoff starter (assuming the others are healthy), and that we wouldn't resign Clement, then it's an ok trade.

Our lineup would be massively improved with Nomar. It allows us to move Patterson from the 2 spot (.266) to the 7th spot (.319), where he fits much better. And we'll finally have a decent top of the order with Walker/Grudz and Nomar. Although, knowing Dusty, he'll probably bat Nomar third or something.

Looking at the new posts, I don't like the Cabrera trade at all, unless it helps us get Nomar without giving up Clement. Beltran has nasty stuff, and he's going to be great in a few years when he lowers his walk total.
 
Nomar to Cubs is a done deal.

That's it, the trade deadline is done. All trades were revealed by 4:45pm. Nothing else is going to happen.
 
Minnesota sends a scrub and Mientkewicz to Cubs, Cubs send Mientkewicz, Gonzalez, and other scrubs to Boston for Nomar, a minor leaguer, and cash, and Boston turned around and sent some scrubs and Gonzalez to the Expos for Cabrera. Whew!
 
Who is LA going to use as a catcher? Charles Johnson turned the trade down.

He affected 3 teams by saying no. Have fun in last place CJ. :p
