The Trade Deadline is heating up and today a few deals actually went through. Many rumors remain out there as there is less than 24 hours to the deadline.
TRADES
The Atlanta Braves acquired Rangers 1B Mark Teixeira for Jarrod Saltamalacchia and others.
The METS acquired 2B Luis Castillo from the Twins for 2 minor-league players.
RUMORS
The RED SOX were reportedly close to acquiring RF Jermiane Dye from the White Sox, but the negotiations have stalled as the White Sox apparently want "too much."
The METS, Yanks, and RED SOX are all still very interested in Eric Gagne, but all are unwilling to depart with key prospects in their respective organizations.
The METS still are intersted in OF Jay Payton.
The METS still want Chad Cordero, but the NATS want Lastings Milledge in return.
