The Mets have traded reliever Scott Schoeneweis to the Diamondbacks. New York received right-hander Connor Robertson in Friday's swap and agreed to pay $1.6 million of Schoeneweis' $3.6 million salary for 2009. Schoeneweis was 2-6 with a 3.34 ERA in 73 games this year.

According to two major league sources, the Yankees will send Melky Cabrera to the Brewers for Mike Cameron on Thursday. Cabrera had a disappointing 2008 season, posting a .249 average with eight homeruns and 37 RBIs. Cameron hit .243 with 25 HRs and 70 RBIs last season. He will earn $10 million in 2009 and is an ideal stop-gap until the Yankees' blue-chip prospect Austin Jackson is ready to take over in center field.

The Mets have acquired the hard-throwing reliever J.J. Putz from the Mariners. The deal involves three teams and sees the Mets trading seven players, including Aaron Heilman, Endy Chavez and Joe Smith. The Indians have dealt Franklin Gutierrez to the Mariners. Putz was the closer in Seattle and will set up Francisco Rodriguez on the Mets. "All I kept on hearing on the streets of New York when I go get bagels in the morning: 'Omar, address the bullpen,'" Minaya said. "Well, to Mets fans: We've addressed the bullpen." Putz talked to the media about the trade. "It's not the ideal situation, but having the two of us at the back of the bullpen will be pretty strong. I will not change my approach at all. I will close the game in eighth and give the ball to Frankie. The Mets organization is built to win right now and that's new for me." Click here to read RealGM's Grading The Deal for this trade.
