After successfully completing the Danys Baez trade in January, the Dodgers and Devil Rays have matched up again on a multi-player swap.

On the flip side, Grissom mashed lefties to the tune of .315/.356/.577 in 2004 and he'd make a great platoon partner for Jacque Jones. UPDATE: You probably assumed this, but I've verified with a reliable source that the Grissom deal is for one year and..
