OF Corey Patterson (TOR) acquired by St. Louis Cardinals

 

**** We think that the White Sox got the best of this deal, shedding payroll and obtaining RHP Jason Frasor....

 

****OF Carlos Beltran (NYM) acquired by San Francisco Giants

 

**** Giants need hitting in the worst way, and they got one of the better hitters, but the jury is out on Beltran....

 

****RF Hunter Pence (HOU) acquired by Philadelphia Phillies

 

**** The best positional move in the trading deadline movement, as Pence is an All Star joining a team of All Stars....

 

****RHP David Pauley (SEA) acquired by Detroit Tigers

 

****RHP Doug Fister (SEA) acquired by Detroit Tigers

 

C Wil Nieves (MIL) acquired by Atlanta Braves

1B Derrek Lee (BAL) acquired by Pittsburgh Pirates

 

****RHP Koji Uehara (BAL) acquired by Texas Rangers

 

1B Chris Davis (TEX) acquired by Baltimore Orioles

 

RHP Tommy Hunter (TEX) acquired by Baltimore Orioles

 

**** Nice move here by the Rangers as Uehara helps in the bullpen, which is a soft spot for Texas

 

****2B Orlando Cabrera (CLE) acquired by San Francisco Giants

 

**** Cabrera always seems to end up in the playoffs, so this is one move we call "under the radar"....

 

RHP Alex White (CLE) acquired by Colorado Rockies

 

****RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (COL) acquired by the Cleveland Indians

 

**** The real "head scratcher" .... What is the story with Ubaldo, and why would the Rockies trade him?....

 

****CF Michael Bourn (HOU) acquired by Atlanta Braves

 

**** A great addition for the Braves, as it solves two issues with one player (leadoff hitter / center field)....

 

OF Jordan Schafer (ATL) acquired by Houston Astros

 

SS Rafael Furcal (LAD) acquired by St. Louis Cardinals

 

RHP Brad Ziegler (OAK) acquired by Arizona Diamondbacks

 

****RHP Mike Adams (SD) acquired by Texas Rangers
