The Braves aren't the only NL East team making deals today. The Philadelphia Phillies have acquired Kyle Lohse from the Cincinnati Reds for minor leaguer Matt Maloney. The Phillies, who may have lost reliever Ryan Madson for the season on Sunday, have had a plethora of pitching injuries this year including Freddy Garcia.
The Mets are thisclose to acquiring Luis Castillo from the Minnesota Twins. The Twins have been looking at class AA catcher Drew Butera and Class A outfielder Dustin Martin. Castillo would replace oft-injured Jose Valentin.
The Braves are also one of the finalists in the Octavio Dotel race. The Kansas City Royals reliever is being looked at by the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers and Mariners.
With the trade deadline up at 4 PM/est tomorrow, I'm sure there will be more news to come.
It's been fun blogging with you,
Kate
