The Deals That Was

This year had a lot of trades, especially a lot immediately before the trading deadline. Here's a wrap up of the most notable ones:

- Indians trade 2B/Util Mark DeRosa to Cardinals for RP Chris Perez and minor leaguer RP Jess Todd

- A's trade Matt Holliday to the Cardinals for 3B Brett Wallace, OF Shane Patterson, and RHP Clayton Mortensen

- Padres trade RHP Jake Peavy to the Chicago White Sox for RHP Aaron Poreda, LHP Clayton Richard and minor league RHP Adam Russell and Dexter Carter

- Indians trade LHP Cliff Lee to the Phillies for prospects

- Mariners trade RHP Jarrod Washburn to the Tigers for LHP Luke French and a minor league LHP Mauricio Robles

- Indians trade C Victor Martinez to the Red Sox for RHP Justin Masterson and two prospects

- Blue Jays trade (no, not Roy Halladay) 3B Scott Rolen to the Reds for 3B Edwin Encarnacion

-Washington Nationals trade 1B Nick Johnson to the Marlins for minor league LHP Aaron Thompson

-A's trade SS Orlando Cabrera to the Twins for minor league SS Tyler Ladendorf

-Pirates trade:
- OF Nate McLouth to the Braves
- 2B Freddy Sanchez to the Giants
- LHP Jon Grabow and LHP Tom Gorzelanny to the Cubs
- SS Jack Wilson and RHP Ian Snell to the Mariners
- The son of the first born to the devil just to win a series

Things I got right about players being traded:
- I said Nick Johnson, Freddy Sanchez, and Cliff Lee would be traded
-I said Bobby Jenks, Jermaine Dye, Javy Vazquez, Erik Bedard, and Roy Halladay would not get traded

Things I got wrong about players being traded:
-I said V Mart and Jarrod Washburn would stay put
