So, if all the major signings and trades are summarised: Pedro - Sox to Mets; Wright - Braves to Yankees; Hudson - As to Braves; Beltre - Dodgers to Mariners; Pavano - Marlins to Yankees (tentative); Glaus - Angels to D-Backs; Wells to Sox.
I guess 1) GMs really don’t like trading within their own league; and 2) FAs really don’t want to stay in their own league.
And yes, I know about Russ Ortiz and Richie Sexson… but the general point seems to hold.
