Trade Trachs
It looks like the Cubs reacquired Steve Trachsel.
Trachsel, who turns 37 on Oct. 31, cleared waivers and was perhaps the best of the starting pitchers currently available. He is 1-1 with a 2.37 ERA in six August starts, and 6-8 with a 4.48 ERA in 20 starts overall this season.
Despite his 60-69 his first time around with Chicago, he pitched decently enough. His record would have been better on a better team. No word on what the Orioles are getting in return yet.
Update: The Orioles get Rocky Cherry and infielder Scott Moore. Any time you have a chance to acquire a player whose name sounds like an ice cream sundae, you have to go for it.

They'll be able to sell more beer at Wrigley - as Trachsel is the slowest pitcher I've ever seen.
He's a human rain delay.
They need to have a day for Mr. Cherry:
Rocky Cherry Sunday
Maybe some day Rocky Cherry will play on the same team as Coco Crisp.
