Gagne To Red Sox, Teixeira Deal Closes, Other Trades As Deadline Nears
- The Rangers have moved Eric Gagne to the Red Sox despite some whispers that he might not accept a deal to a club where he couldn't close. Gagne waived a no-trade clause in exchange for being paid a $2.5M performance bonus (Rotoworld reports this as $3.6M) that might have accrued had he finished a certain number of games. The Rangers received LHP Kason Gabbard and outfielders David Murphy and Engel Beltre.
- The much-reported Teixeira deal is complete, and all the players are now known.
- Braves get: 1B Mark Teixeira, LHP Ron Mahay
- Rangers get: 1B/C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, SS Elvis Andrus, RHP Neftali Feliz, LHP Matt Harrison, and LHP Beau Jones.
- The Braves also acquired Octavio Dotel from Kansas City, picking him up for 23-year-old righty starter Kyle Davies.
- Update: The trade deadline has passed, so rumors of Troy Percival going to Los Angeles have passed with them. (Hat tip to GobiasIndustries from Dodger Thoughts.)
- Update 2: The Padres have acquired Morgan Ensberg and cash from the Astros for a PTBNL and/or cash considerations. (Also via MLB.com.)
- The Giants have exiled Matt Morris to Pittsburg for OF Rajai Davis and a PTBNL. (Also via AP.)
- Not a deal, but it seems a good place to put this: former Angel setup man Brendan Donnelly will undergo Tommy John surgery, and is done for the season.
- Update 3: The A's released Bobby Kielty, who was getting no playing time, appearing in only 13 games this season.
- Update 4: Jon reports the Dodgers have recalled Delwyn Young.
