AL Central Trades

Here are this month's trades in the AL Central, headlined by the deal that brought Ubaldo Jimenez to the Indians..

Indians

• Acquired outfield prospect Thomas Neal from the Indians for shortstop Orlando Cabrera.
• Acquired Ubaldo Jimenez from the Rockies for Joe Gardner, Alex White, Matt McBride and a player to be named later.  The deal is expected to include left-hander Drew Pomeranz once he's eligible to be traded in mid-August.
• Acquired right fielder Kosuke Fukudome and about $3.9MM from the Cubs for minor leaguer outfielder Abner Abreu and reliever Carlton Smith.

Royals

• Acquired infielder/outfielder Yamaico Navarro and reliever Kendal Volz from the Red Sox for infielder Mike Aviles.
• Acquired prospects Antonio Cruz and Julio Rodriguez from the Tigers for Wilson Betemit.

Tigers

• Acquired starter Doug Fister and reliever David Pauley from the Mariners for third baseman Francisco Martinez, outfielder Casper Wells, southpaw Charlie Furbush, and a player to be named later.  The PTBNL is reportedly one of the Tigers' top three picks from the 2010 draft, meaning that it's either Nick Castellanos, Chance Ruffin, or Drew Smyly.
• Acquired Wilson Betemit from the Royals for prospects Antonio Cruz and Julio Rodriguez.

Twins

• The Twins didn't complete any of the deals they discussed.

White Sox
