Trying to Keep Up ::

There are so many moves going on, I'm not going to comment on any of them, but I'll at least try to list them.

The biggest move of the day so far involves Texas and Washington. Second baseman Alfonso Soriano is on his way to the Nationals, who are sending Brad Wilkerson, Termel Sledge, and a minor league pitcher to the Rangers.

San Diego was active in the trade market again, sending second baseman Mark Loretta to Boston for backup catcher Doug Mirabelli.

The Brewers cleared the way for Prince Fielder to take over at first base by sending Lyle Overbay to Toronto for Dave Bush and Gabe Gross. Both teams are also owed a "player to be named later".

I'm no expert on the Rockies, so someone will have to explain the benefit of this deal for me: Colorado sent Larry Bigbie and Aaron Miles to St. Louis for Ray King. Yeah, I'm confused too.

Also, Trevor Hoffman is staying in San Diego, and Roger Clemens was not offered arbitration by Houston, meaning if he's staying with the Astros, he can't sign with them until May 1.
