I'll update as the afternoon wears on. Man, the Pirates are making the moves... How comes the Red Sox, Angels, Twins, Cardinals, Giants, and Braves have been so quiet???

Add your thoughts... ( what a fun afternoon)

The Kansas City Royals have traded P Jeremy Affeldt and P Denny Bautista to the Rockies for 1B Ryan Shealy and a minor league prospect.

- Atlanta Braves' Jorge Sosa to the St. Loius Cardinals ( lucky them) for minor league prospects.

ESPN is also reporting that Miguel Tejeda and Alfonso Soriano have not been traded.

Thanks for these updates, MVB.

What was the most surprising trade (or non-trade) to you guys?

[legend]

Sorianio staying put had better mean that the Nationals have a deal with him all but worked out. If he walks at the end of the year, there will be egg on alot of faces. Tejada needs out of Baltimore, but they are probably going to make some sort of deal next year that better suits them. A-Rod for Tejada anyone? Not that the Orioles would take fall for that one.
Of all those deals above, the one that intrigues me the most is Kyle Loshe to the Reds. He has the stuff to make a difference for them if he can pitch up to his abilities. Of course, if he was doing that, he wouldn't have been dealt.
