A trade!

No, it doesn't involve the Jays, calm down ... but August (post-"deadline" deals) can and do happen.

Jose Guillen, sporting a surprisingly robust slash line of .255/16/62, heads from Kansas City to San Francisco today, in exchange for a player to be named later and cash considerations. This is Guillen's TENTH big league home, which has to be at least close to a record of some sort. He not only switches teams and leagues, but also catapults from the um, not-contending Royals place of business to a real live Bayside pennant race. (SF trails the Padres by just 2.5 games and currently leads the NL Wild Card mess.)

The extremely sparse ESPN.com report of the deal is here. Any thoughts, Box Nation?
