Marlins deal Gregg; Yankees get Swisher

• The Marlins traded Kevin Gregg to the Cubs for relief prospect Jose Ceda. Not surprising. What is surprising is that Florida is going after Orlando Hudson. I imagine that Dan Uggla would then move over to third base and Jorge Cantu would shift over to first. The Fish have repeatedly stated that they are not trading Uggla unless they are blown away by an offer. The same goes for Jeremy Hermida.
• The Yankees acquired Nick Swisher and minor-league pitcher Kanekoa Texeira from the White Sox, sending pitching prospects Jeff Marquez and Jhonny Nunez along with Wilson Betemit to Chicago.
  
• Although it looked like the Padres and Braves were closing in on a deal for Jake Peavy last night, they still are not close. The rumored trade was Yunel Escobar, Gorkys Hernandez, either Jo-Jo Reyes or Charlie Morton, and Blaine Boyer or a minor-league pitcher for Peavy. The Cubs are also still in on the right-hander.
• Toronto has interest in Jason Giambi and Brad Penny. The Blue Jays have also talked to San Diego about Khalil Greene.
  
• Nothing new with the Mets and their search for a closer; Francisco Rodriguez is their number one choice, but if he doesn't sign, they will attempt to bring in Brian Fuentes. If New York fails to ink either of the two, it will look at trades for Bobby Jenks, Huston Street, J.J. Putz, and possibly even Kerry Wood.
• The Astros may very well end up trading Jose Valverde.
• Seattle is keeping an eye on Jeremy Affeldt, Jason Giambi, Joe Crede, and Ken Griffey Jr.
• The Yankees will make an offer to CC Sabathia tomorrow believed to be in the six-year, $150 million range.
• It would take a lot for the Twins to trade Delmon Young.
• It doesn't look like Randy Johnson will be spending another year in Arizona.
