Earlier: With less than a full workday ahead of us before the MLB non-waiver trade deadline passes (4:00PM ET 07/31/13), now is a good time to catch up on everything you need to know from around the league.
I'll be updating this throughout the day so keep coming back, right?
Trades that actually happened:

-
Red Sox acquire Jake Peavy from White Sox - The Red Sox seem to have swooped in and gotten the pitcher they were looking for.

-
Mets rumors: New York expected to stand pat at deadline - Although Bobby Parnell and Marlon Byrd are attractive trade pieces, they will likely stay in Flushing.

-
Red Sox rumors: Jackie Bradley Jr. has minor elbow injury, not traded - Simmer down, Twitter. Everyone thought JBJ was going to be the centerpiece to the Peavy trade just because he was pulled from a game in Pawtucket. As our own Chris Cotillo reports, it was just a small injury.
