Just a quick summary of what has been going on...
The Rockies DFA'd LHP Randy Flores.
2.96 ERA is nice, but the 5.9 K/9 and 4.3 BB/9 in the National League isn't. He's a LOOGY that has been doing better against righties this year.
The Rockies DFA'd OF Brad Hawpe.
With the Rockies out of contention, the playoff contention deadline coming up, and with the Hawpe becoming a free agent this offseason who will not be offered arbitration, and Hawpe's poor performance, the Rockies felt no need to keep him. He has a .776 OPS this season and is not a great defender. He will make a little under $2 million the rest of this year. The Yankees have no room for him with Thames, Kearns, and soon to be Berkman. He needs to join a team by September 1st in order to be eligible for the postseason, although a team might not care; they could just add him after just so they can actually make it - not caring if he's eligible or not.
The Padres signed OF Jody Gerut to a minor league deal, who was released by the Brewers.
He had a .596 OPS in limited action this year. He comes back to the Padres after being traded for Tony Gwynn, Jr. last year.
The Cardinals acquired 3B Pedro Feliz from the Astros in exchange for a minor league pitcher.
.554 OPS. Always hated that signing.
The Mets placed RHP Francisco Rodriguez on the disqualified list. The MLBPA filed a grievance.
The Braves acquired 1B Derrek Lee from the Cubs in exchange for three minor league pitchers.
Lee has a .751 OPS on the year and a .939 OPS since the All Star Break.
The Rays signed SP Ramon Ortiz to a minor league deal.
The Rangers signed RP Jesus Colome to a minor league deal.
The Dodgers released RP Claudio Vargas.
The Rangers signed IF Alex Cora to a minor league deal.
The Giants released SP Todd Wellemeyer.
The Reds DFA'd SP Micah Owings.
The Phillies DFA'd 3B Greg Dobbs.
