|
The Deal: The Mets wasted no time compensating for Duaner Sanchez's separated shoulder, retrieving Hernandez, who had done such a solid job in their bullpen last season. The lefty Perez, who can still flash impressive stuff, becomes pitching coach Rick Peterson's latest project. The Bucs get a solid outfield bat in Nady, who had been one of New York's most pleasant surprises, delivering 14 homers and 40 RBIs.

The Deal: The Yankees double-up on outfield help with Wilson, who also endows Joe Torre's bench with something it lacked -- a pinch-hitter deluxe. But Wilson has done a solid job as a regular this season, batting .267 with 13 homers and 41 RBIs. The Bucs get one of the Yankees' most versatile arms; Chacon, 28, was 5-3 this season in a variety of roles, including 11 starts.

|
RHP Jesse Chavez
|
The Deal: The Rangers wound up their busy trading season by finally adding the veteran pitcher their rotation needed in Wells, who is still working his way back from a blood clot in his arm. Chavez is a 22-year-old reliever who has split the season between Double-A and Triple-A, combing for a 4.43 ERA in 39 appearances.

Player to Cubs
|
|
|
RHP Jose Ceda
|
The Deal: The Padres pick up some bench experience, and a versatile bat, in Walker. The veteran is a terrific situational hitter, and has drawn 38 walks compared to striking out only 27 times. Although he has never played the position, the Padres may try to work him into the mix at third. Ceda is a baby monster -- at 19, he is 6-foot-4, 210 pounds -- who could grow into a role with the Cubs.

|
RHP Joselo Diaz
|
The Deal: While the Rangers add a well-travelled professional hitter to their bench, the Royals continue stockpiling pitching prospects. Diaz, 26, has combined for a 2.40 ERA in 36 appearances between Double- and Triple-A. Stairs, a veteran of AL West wars formerly with the A's, has been a better hitter away from Kauffman Stadium all season, with a .293 road average.

|
RHP Brian Rogers
|
The Deal: The addition of three-time All-Star Casey gives Detroit another dependable left-handed bat to face the diet of right-handers the Tigers will see in the coming weeks. Casey, hitting .315 in his last 26 games and .296 for the season, also gives manager Jim Leyland more flexibility with regard to switch-hitter Dmitri Young. The Pirates, who weren't planning to re-sign Casey, received Brian Rogers, a hard-throwing Double-A right-hander who could compete for a spot in their bullpen as soon as next spring.

|
RHP Zach Ward
|
The Deal: Reds GM Wayne Krivsky did business with his mentor, Twins GM Terry Ryan, to bring Lohse to Cincinnati. Lohse had been on the trading block for weeks after opening the season in the Minnesota rotation but losing his spot. With the Reds, the 27-year-old will have more opportunities to pitch as well as help a Cincinnati staff that has added six pitchers via trade since July 6. The Twins received an high-ceiling Class A pitching prospect in Ward.

|
|
|
|
The Deal: The Reds continue the in-season reconstruction of their bullpen with Cormier, who leads all NL relievers with a 1.59 ERA. The 38-year-old left-hander has agreed to a 2007 contract extension with Cincinnati. Germano is a 23-year-old righty with a 3.69 ERA in 18 Triple-A starts; he made his MLB starting debut over the weekend, dropping a 6-3 decision in Milwaukee.

|
The Deal: The long-rumored deal fortifies the Yankees in multiple ways. Although Abreu's run-production numbers are down, he is also a terrific outfielder who vastly improves the Bombers' defense. Lidle bolsters the back-end of the rotation. Meanwhile, the Phillies get a quartet of young prospects to aid their rebuilding.

|
The Deal: St. Louis replaced a job-sharing arrangement at second base with an everyday player in Belliard who was an All-Star two years ago. Belliard is a seven-year Major League veteran who has been a significant offensive contributor at times in his career. Luna is no stranger to the Indians' organization. He was originally signed by the Tribe in 1999.

Players to Brewers
|
|
|
|
The Deal: The Rangers acquired someone to jump-start that surprisingly limp offense. Lee's 28 homers are nearly double current team-leader Brad Wilkerson's 15. But it's at a substantial price: Mench may be a step down for the Brewers, but they also got another outfielder with some promise (Nix), as well as a couple of Corderos to bolster the bullpen.

RHP Wilfrido Laureano
|
The Deal: Bell, who was having an "up" season in his up-and-down stint in Philadelphia, will help take up the slack in a Brewers infield dealing with injuries to J.J. Hardy and Corey Koskie. In their first of many anticipated moves, the Phillies got a nice prospect in "Beanpole" Laureano, the 6-foot-6, 170-pound right-handed reliever had 62 strikeouts in 63 2/3 innings for Class A Charleston.

|
|
RHP Shairon Martis
|
The Deal: The Giants add a veteran left-hander to their bullpen in Stanton, still a workhorse at 39. Stanton's 56 appearances with the Nats rank second in the NL. In Martis, Washington gets the definitive future prospect -- at 19, the right-handed native of Curacao was having a solid season for Augusta of the Class A South Atlantic League, with a 3.64 ERA in 15 starts.

Player to Indians

|
|
|
The Deal: The door had barely closed on Carl Everett's tenure in Seattle when it swung wide open to invite Broussard in as the primary DH against right-handed pitching. The Mariners once considered Choo untouchable, but they dealt away the Korea native in the midst of a strong season at Triple-A Tacoma. The Mariners get a proven bat -- against right-handed pitching at least -- in Broussard. Meanwhile, the Tribe is hoping for Choo, a three-time participant in the Futures Game, to show he can do in the Majors what he's done in the Minors.

Player to Dodgers

|
|
|
The Deal: Perez wore out his welcome in L.A. long ago. Dessens, who's nothing if not versatile and who had success with the Dodgers last year, is welcomed back. An $8 million-a-year underachiever, Perez was demoted to the 'pen and became a sour presence. K.C. hopes to tap his talent again while getting help from the Dodgers to pay for it, along with two lower-level arms.

P Fabian Jimenez
P Joel Santo
|
The Deal: This smacks more of a move to provide more options for the Padres in their quest to add a third baseman than of an effort to shore up the bullpen. The acquisition of Williamson in and of itself doesn't exactly resonate as a trade of need for the Padres, among the best in relief ERA in the NL. As for the Cubs, they're clearly not thinking much about this year by picking up two lower-level Minor Leaguers.

Players to Blue Jays
|
|
|
|
The Deal: The Giants needed a solid-hitting right-handed bat and first sacker, and when Hillenbrand was designated for assignment, he became a priority. Accardo, a non-drafted free agent signed in 2003 by the Giants, was 1-3 with three saves and a 4.91 ERA this year, but developed into a solid setup man. Chulk was 1-0 with a 5.25 ERA over 20 games with Toronto.

|
C Maximiliano Ramirez
|
The Deal: The Braves served notice to the rest of the NL East that they consider themselves a contender, adding the reliable closer they've lacked. Wickman has had sporadic chances in Cleveland, but still has converted 15 of 18 saves a season after tying for the AL lead with 45. Ramirez instantly becomes one of the Tribe's brightest prospects. The 21-year-old catcher was batting .285 with good run-production in Class A.

Players to Reds
|
|
|
|
The Deal: An eight-player quake that dramatically alters both clubs. The Nats pick up two offensive catalysts in Kearns and Lopez. Majewski and Bray give the Reds' gasping bullpen a lift, while Clayton's experience will be an asset down the stretch.

RHP Mitch Talbot
SS Ben Zobrist
|
The Deal: Huff, a left-handed power hitter, will fit nicely into the middle of the Astros lineup. Manager Phil Garner mentioned he's toying with the idea of batting Huff fifth behind Lance Berkman, the National League leader in RBIs. Beside that power bat, Huff offers his new club some versatility in the field, where he can play third base, first and the outfield. The trade of Huff may create a vacancy for prospect B.J. Upton.

The Deal: Guardado, a two-time All-Star with the Twins in 2002 and 2003, is expected to become the Reds' new closer, with Todd Coffey returning to his setup role. The deal has reunited the 35-year-old Guardado with Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky, who was in Minnesota's front office as assistant GM for a decade. Chick will report to Double-A.

The Deal: Weaver will be asked to help bolster a starting rotation that has struggled mightily since the beginning of June. Weaver signed a one-year deal with the Angels this winter for $8.325 million. It was reported that Los Angeles would be willing to pick up a significant portion of the contract in order to get a player it liked in exchange for Weaver.

Ryan Klesko
A contender should expect to be willing to absorb about one-sixth of his $10 million salary -- with some assistance from the Padres, who have no room for Klesko at first base with Adrian Gonzalez emerging as a potential star.
Bengie Molina
The Jays may explore their options with Molina on the market before buying out his contract option at the end of this year, as expected.
Aaron Boone
Boone has said he wouldn’t mind being dealt to a contender, and the Indians probably wouldn’t mind dealing him with Andy Marte taking over the regular third base duties.
