Wow, so Ichiro was the one who asked for the trade.
Interesting. |

Geez, Ichiro saying "It's in the best interests of the team, as well as myself, that I leave this team as soon as possible".

Dempster trade update:
Both teams await his approval. But some are saying there's a 50/50 chance of this happening. |

Damn, Ichiro got a standing o, gave the fans a bow, and got his first hit as a yankee.

Just imagine for a second that this trade re-energizes Ichiro, and for about 3 months he plays similar to how he did in his prime.
Just imagine that firepower added to the already loaded Yankee line-up. World Series Champions, everybody. |

Or they'll go the traditional route and lose in 4 games in the divisional round.

Delgado is a great get for Dempster. He's probably the top pitching prospect in about 20 other farm systems, but the Braves are loaded.

No, Cubs would want more than just Turner, but why trade your top guy for a pitcher who's nowhere near Garza's level and isn't even signed past this season. I mean, was Infante that important to them? They could of given up a little more and got Baker and Garza, who's locked up for four years and is awesome in the American League. Hell he's awesome if he gets run support and decent defense.

Getting nervous? |

Actually, I wouldn't be suprised if this deal is hinging on him signing an extension. Delgado is a pretty big peice to be giving up for a rental.

Jason Kendall retires shortly after being signed by the Royals.

Red Sox seem to have benefited the most considering De La Torre was one of the Indians best prospects in the minors this year while the Red Sox barely used Lillibridge since the Youk trade.

Cubs are trying to talk with the Dodgers about Dempster again, but Chicago has no leverage after Dempster said he wanted to go to LA.

I really thought Dickey had gotten his magical knuckleball back today. But then in the 6th he had the bases empty with 2 outs and the Nats just had an inexplicable 2-out rally. 4 runs in the inning...I just don't know anymore. The magic is gone. His ERA has ballooned nearly a full run in the past month. He's the Mets' ace and not even he is getting it done in this slide.
At least Wright is still playing like an MVP. Unfortunately he won't win it under any circumstances with this team. It's going to somebody on a playoff team, aka McCutchen or Votto. |

Anyway, looking for a bandwagon to jump on via MLB Network for the rest of the year. Disclaimer: whichever team I pick will likely fall apart.

Marlins better hope Hanley isn't just in a major slump, or this could be the worst trade ever.
