Marlins Make Multiple Trades Right Before Deadline

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Miami Marlins got a few more deals in before the end of Major League Baseball trade deadline.
The first trade involved shipping relief pitcher Sam Dyson to the Texas Rangers for catcher Tomas Telis and left-handed reliever Cody Ege.
Dyson has made 44 relief appearances this year with the Marlins, going 3-3 with a 3.68 ERA in 44 innings.
Telis, 24, was 2 for 11 in his recent six-game stint with the Rangers.

Just before the 4:00 p.m. ET non-waiver trade deadline, the Cubs acquired relief pitcher Tommy Hunter from the Orioles, confirms Jon Heyman. The return for the Orioles is outfielder Junior Lake.
Hunter, 29, has a 3.63 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 32 strikeouts against 11 walks in 44 2/3 innings this season. He got off to a terrible start to the season, though, and actually has a 2.63 ERA in his last 34 outings.

A flurry of deals got in under the wire of Friday’s Major League Baseball trade deadline, crowned by the New York Mets acquiring Cuban slugger Yoenis Cespedes from the re-tooling Detroit Tigers.
It has been a tumultuous few days leading up to the deadline with contending teams beefing up, while other teams looked to offload big salaried players and future free agents in favor of collecting promising minor leaguers.
The Mets, armed with a rotation of top-flight young pitchers but struggling to score runs, nabbed the power-hitter they had longed for in the deal with Detroit.

The Golden State Warriors acquired big man Jason Thompson from the Philadelphia 76ers for forward Gerald Wallace plus draft and cash considerations, the teams announced Friday.
It's a combination move for the Warriors, who acquired Wallace for former All-Star David Lee from the Boston Celtics in a deal finalized earlier this week.

CINCINNATI (AP) After making two moves to upgrade an already solid bullpen, the Pittsburgh Pirates added depth to their rotation on Friday by acquiring J.A. Happ from Seattle for minor-league pitcher Adrian Sampson.
The Pirates were 5 1/2 games behind St. Louis in the NL Central, but first in line for a wild card playoff berth.

After working late into Thursday night, the Mets and Reds are picking up momentum on a trade that would bring outfielder Jay Bruce to New York and send righthander Zack Wheeler to Cincinnati, sources said Friday morning. Hours before baseball's non-waiver trade deadline, the teams were reviewing the medical reports of players involved, which has already proven to be an obstacle for the Mets once this week. Other players in the deal were not known Friday morning.
