Chicago White Sox Trade Carlos Quentin to San Diego Padres
Sometimes when players are traded, they get all upset about where they end up and who they’ll miss. In Carlos Quentin’s case, he’s pretty excited. The Chicago White Sox traded the All-Star outfielder to his hometown San Diego Padres this weekend, and when he got the call he was conveniently already in town. This is …

Florida Marlins Trade For Mike Cameron
Just a couple of days after being designated for assignment by the Boston Red Sox, Mike Cameron has found a new home.
The Florida Marlins acquired the 38-year-old outfielder for a player to be named later or cash. I am going to say there is a 70 percent change the Marlins will accept cash from the Red Sox. [...]

Why the cavalier attitude? Well, I’m not bitter, for one, although it sure does[...]

Manny Ramirez Changes Sox, Heads To Chicago
For the past week, the Chicago White Sox made no secret that they wanted Manny Ramirez to be their DH for the remainder of the season.
After some waiver formalities and some back and forth, yesterday they finally made it happen.
The White Sox acquired Ramirez yesterday on a straight waiver claim from [...]

Vazquez Returns to the Big Apple
Even though they were just nailed with $25.69 million in luxury taxes, the New York Yankees aren’t quite done spending. Braves righty Javier Vazquez was given back to New York Tuesday in a trade that sent centerfielder Melky Cabrera to Atlanta. The Yankees will also get tall drink of water Boone Logan while the Braves …

Phillies Steal an Ace Away from the Indians
The Phillies have acquired, or rather stolen, Cleveland Indians ace Cliff Lee. In a 6-player deal, the Phillies have been able to acquire the pitching help that they have so desperately needed during this first half of the season. While the pitching, and the team as a whole, has gotten better in the second half, …
