The Official MLB Trade Deadline Thread

[Diamondback Jay]

It all got started today.

The Cubs acquire Jason Kendall from Oakland for Rob Bowen and minor league pitcher Jerry Blevins.

dbacks need some power.

Cubs needed a veteran presence and a bit more offensive production at catcher. I have always like Kendall, and even if he doesn't do much for them offensively he should call a good game.

This White Sox fan is jumping on the Cubs' bandwagon.

Hey Josh Bynes, you know you want to trade for Jacque Jones. His average is up to .240!

Even as they dangle their own relievers in an attempt to upgrade their offense/bench/first-base situation with a player such as the Dodgers' Wilson Betemit, the Yankees are looking around at available relievers. The Yankees, along with the Braves, Dodgers, Diamondbacks and Cubs, have expressed interest in Kansas City right-hander Zack Greinke, a pitcher who could also serve as a starter if they were to need one in a pinch. The idea would be to unload somebody such as Kyle Farnsworth or Scott Proctor, but replace him with somebody like Greinke, who might be a fresh arm for the stretch run.
