Saarloos trade completed
This came as a shock to me because I didn't remember players-to-be-named were involved. From the Reds:
SAARLOOS TRADE COMPLETED: The Reds and Athletics have completed the 1/22/07 trade in which RHP Kirk Saarloos and a player to be named were acquired in exchange for RHP David Shafer and a player to be named...the Reds have received RHP Daniel Denham (who will be assigned to FSL Sarasota), while the A's received RHP Julio Manon (Sacramento)...Denham, 24, this season went 1-1, 6.10 in 16 relief apps for Class AA Midland and Class A Stockton...Manon, 34, went 1-0, 4.50 in 6 relief apps at Class AAA Louisville and Class A Sarasota.

David Shafer was the AA closer for the Reds last year. I think he put up nice numbers, but I guess management didn't think he would materialize up here.
I heard a month or so ago that Oakland already released him from their minor league system. Not sure what he doing now.
He's still with the A's. He pitched yesterday. He got jumped down from AAA to AA.
