Quiet Trade Deadline

Today's Noon deadline for CFCL trades passed fairly quietly compared with 2007, when there were five deadline day deals. Attention now turns to the 3:00 PM Central time deadline for the Interleague Free Agent Bidding Day auction.

Only two trades were completed at the trade deadline, both of them involving Mo's Red Hots:
Interestingly, the Red Hots are the only team that does not have anything remaining in their Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB), so perhaps they saw trades as the only way to improve their team while the other contenders are eyeing Manny Ramirez, Casey Kotchman, and the rest of the incoming free agents.
