The Cubs dodged a bullet when Kenny Lofton was traded today.

The New York Yankees began reshaping their roster Friday, sending outfielder Kenny Lofton and cash to the Philadelphia Phillies for setup man Felix Rodriguez and nearing a trade to reacquire Mike Stanton from the Mets.

On the flip side it is one less thing Jim Hendry can fall back on if he misses out on getting one of the big three OF free agents.
