White Sox Swap Iguchi for Phillies Minor League Pitcher

by Eli Greenspan on Jul 27, 2007 5:31 PM EDT

IT looks like somebody, namely the Phillies, were interested in what the Sox were offering after all. The Phillies sent Single-A pitcher Michael Dubee, who is 4-4, with an ERA of 3.88 to the Sox for Tadahito Iguchi. This deal comes on the heels of an injury to Phillies 2B Chase Utley that will sideline him for at least a month with a broken hand. In other news, Kenny Lofton was sent to Cleveland, where he spent almost half his career in exchange for minor league catcher Max Ramirez.

it's good to see Kenny back with the Indians. He got a standing ovation in his first at bat tonight. With kenny hitting 2nd, he offers more for the Indians then Casey Blake can. Already he has a bunt single, something Casey can't do very well.

Lofton is a good guy for a team. He helped get the Cubs to the playoffs in 2003.

oh yeah believe me he was here in Cleveland twice before, it's just funny how he wasd with us the last year we made the post season in 2001, and now he has a chance to get us there again this year.
