– Jake Peavy, currently on the DL, to the White Sox for four young pitchers. This time he waives the no-trade clause. Ka-zow!
– Scott Rolen to Cincy for Edwin Encarnacion. Jays reportedly paying Rolen’s ‘09 salary.
– Victor Martinez to Boston for three young arms, including the very talented Justin Masterson. I’m not sure the Giants could have topped this. As I mentioned in the previous comment thread, the inclusion of Masterson makes me think Cleveland wanted young major-league pitching, which for the Giants means Jonathan Sanchez. A package centered on Alderson might not have worked. Just my speculation.
– Nick Johnson to Florida for a double-A pitcher.
– Braves send Casey Kotchman to Boston for Adam LaRoche. You give me your light-hitting left handed first baseman, and I’ll give you mine. Weird!
