Done Deals

I guess I will use this post to track done deals, and see if the Cubs slip up and surprise us.

Mets -
The Mets made two stunning trades Friday, acquiring Pirates righthander Kris Benson and Devil Rays righthander Victor Zambrano.

Dodgers -
Hee Seop Choi, Brad Penny, Murphy to the Dodgers in exchange for Guillermo Mota, Paul Lo Duca, and Juan Encarnacion.

Charles Johnson traded to the Dodgers pending the approval of Johnson

Padres -
Stark reports the Padres have aquired firstbasemen/DH Brad Fullmer from the Rangers for a minor leaguer to be named later.

Phillies -
The Philadelphia Phillies made another move to shore up their wobbly bullpen late Friday, getting reliever Todd Jones from the Cincinnati Reds in a four-player deal.

Jones, 36, gives the Phillies another right-handed setup man.

Earlier Friday, the Phillies sent Ricky Ledee and a minor leaguer to San Francisco for right-handed reliever Felix Rodriguez, who also could be used in a setup role.
