According to foxsports.com, the Braves have finalized deals with Texas and Kansas City today. As previously posted, the Braves picked up Mark Teixeira from the Rangers on Monday and today comes word that they'll have a new set up guy for Bob Wickman, Octavio Dotel. The Royals will get Georgia native Kyle Davies who was recently sent down to AAA Richmond. Davies was 4-8 with a 5.76 ERA.
In other trade news, the Yankees traded Scott Proctor to Los Angeles for former Brave Wilson Betemit..the St. Louis Cardinals picked up Joel Piniero and cash from the Boston Red Sox for minor leaguer to be named later..and the Red Sox and Texas Rangers agreed to a deal for Eric Gagne, one hitch, he has to agree to it. The Red Sox were not one of the twelve teams Gagne had agreed to, but randomly, the Milwaukee Brewers were. I guess he enjoys the cool freshing taste of Miller lite. The Red Sox would in return send Kason Gabbard, AAA outfielder David Murphy and A outfielder Engel Beltre to the Rangers.
There are 13 minutes left, let's see who else can make a deal.
UPDATE: The San Diego Padres are close to acquiring Houston Astros third baseman (and recently demoted after the Wiggington trade) Morgan Ensberg as well as White Sox outfielder Rob Mackowiak.
The possible Jermaine Dye deal to Boston is DOA.
Five more minutes...tick...tock...
It's been fun blogging with you,
