Trading Deadline; 48 hours left, Where are the deals?

Last time I checked Mark Teixeira was still on the Braves. Raul Ibanez is still sitting in Seattle. Hudson Street is enjoying the nice weather in Oakland. Ok there have been a few trades. The Yankees pilfered the Pirates for Xavier Nady and a left reliever named Marte but since that deal what has happened? The Brewers got themselves a pitcher and the Dodgers did get Casey Blake. Is that is though? The D-backs were trying to get another bat. Rumors were flying that the Marlins might need a catcher. The Mets are looking for a corner outfielder and maybe now a reliever?

Well we are still waiting. Each division except the American league west is up for grabs. You think that would mean an incredible amount of deals.

48 hours left before the deadline and we as fans wonder are the GM’s spending there waking hours working the phones or they going to wait until after the deadline and stare down the waiver wire.

Team’s demands should be coming down to earth this week and we wait for the deal that will help our team. Will the Mets acquire anybody? Only 48 hours left to find what Omar and the other GM's have up there sleeves.
