Trade deadline passes, and now we wait
posted in trade rumors |It’s nearing 4:15 p.m. The 4 p.m. regular trade deadline has passed. The Tigers have made no additional deals. Alfonso Soriano is still a Washington National and not a Minnesota Twin, Chicago White, er, Sock, or anything else.
And now we wait to see if this is, in fact, reality or if any deals were finished before 4 but are working their way through the system.
I would think Soriano would have been announced right away, but no news is not necessarily good news.
UPDATE: Soriano is staying put. None of the Tigers rivals made themselves all that much better except, if you want to speculate playoffs, the Yankees. Detroit filled a hole cheaply. It looks like a pretty good day to me. I’ll have more in my Q&A tonight or tomorrow.
