Updates
With the trading deadline fast approaching and very few rumors still rumbling the league has updated the roster for all eight teams. Full rosters with team position eligibility can be found below.
The commissioner's office is slated to release an updated League Constitution which will be available shortly as well as soon as the presses have it.
Update:
The results for the proposed league changes are in. In a move to make rosters more realistic, the league voted last spring to allow position players who qualified as starters to leave for free agency if they were on the active roster did not reach a qualified number of at-bats. Team owners, however, voted down the proposal to limit hold-overs entirely with the exception of last place teams.
Full results are available below.
Week 18
Standings
While the Padres continue to widen their lead in first place as the season continues, increasing it to 8 games over the second place Giants who went 1-5 on the week, the race for the fourth and final playoff spot continues to tighten. Minnesota, after starting off 5-19 and for a time was on pace to be the league's first 100 game loser has turned it around, going 5 and 1 last week, and is only 3 games behind the fourth place Seattle Mariners. With only ten games separating the fourth and eighth place teams, the race for the last playoff spot is going to be a tight one.

Trade Rumors
While there have been further trade rumblings involving Dan Uggla of the Giants and Josh Beckett of Minnesota, nothing has gone through. Boston and Minnesota were rumored to be involved in a deal consisting of Miguel Cabrera and Josh Beckett, but talks on that front seem to have stalled.

Seattle acquires another Centerfielder
Worried about overusing Hunter Pence and losing Johnny Damon because of underuse during the regular season, the Seattle Mariners sent reliever Derrick Turnbow to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for Jacque Jones. Both players are one year stop gaps with dismal 2008 seasons, and helpful acquisitions to both teams. Jones will give more time off to Hunter Pence, and Turnbow will occupy a needed spot in the bullpen allowing Chad Billingsley to move to the rotation for the remainder of the season.
