Today’s big news in baseball today is the trade deadline where contenders can add players to improve to make a run for a championship and teams whose not can trade good players in exchange for prospects so they can build for the future or save money in these economic times as we saw Boston add a top player in Victor Martinez from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for 3 players that included pitcher Justin Masterson, the Sox also traded Adam LaRouche to the Atlanta Braves for Casey Kotchman, LaRouche is returning to the Braves for a second time.  Also at the deadline the Padres sent all star and former Cy Young winner Jake Peavy, who is currently injured to the Chicago White Sox and the Padres received 4 young pitching prospects.  The Detroit Tigers added Jared Washburn from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for 2 pitching prospects, also Toronto sent third basemen Scott Rolen back to the National League to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for 3 players.  In other trade news the Nationals sent first basemen Nick Johnson to the Marlins, Minnesota added Orlando Cabrera from the A’s and the Yankees added infielder Jerry Hairston from the Reds.  Also in baseball news which is something I think all baseball fans are tired of is that David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez names leaked from the infamous 2003 failed drug test list, which bothers me because Boston is my favorite team and Ortiz and Ramirez are 2 of my favorite players in baseball
