    Doug Mankavic (sp) from twins to Boston, Orlando Cabrera of Montreal to Boston, prospects galore to Minnesota, Alex Gonzalez the loser has to go to Montreal (Washington DC) Derek Lowe is going to Minnesota I think

    Nope, from ESPN

    2. Cubs
    Speaking of creative GMs, the Cubs' Jim Hendry is another guy who always seems to find a way to make moves no one thought he could make.


    On Saturday, he gave up a shortstop he didn't want (Alex Gonzalez) and two useful, but hardly stardom-bound young players (Francis Beltran and Brendan Harris) -- and wound up with Nomar Garciaparra, plus an excellent young outfielder (Matt Murton).


    All of which inspired one NL executive to say, "The Cubs kicked everyone's butt."


    With an hour to go until the deadline, the Cubs were still trying to trade for Orlando Cabrera. Next thing they knew, they were able to deal for Garciaparra without trading away Matt Clement -- which would have been a deal-breaker for Hendry from the beginning.


    To make this succeed, Garciaparra has to view his change of scenery as a chance to go from a team he'd stopped believing in last winter to a place where he's wanted and needed. But it would be impossible for him to be any less productive than the shortstops who preceded him in Chicago -- who ranked last in the big leagues in average (.222), slugging (.331) and runs scored (32).
