Around the Horn - 8/7
Update 3:30 pm
David Ortiz belted his 40th home run on Sunday to become the 1st Boston Red Sox player to hit 40 HRs in 3 consecutive seasons.
Mark Mulder threw a 5 inning rehab stint over the weekend and is expected to throw 1 more game in the minors before being activated by St. Louis.
Livan Hernandez was claimed on waivers by an unknown team, but a trade couldn't be worked out with the Washington Nationals. Correction - it was previously reported that Hernandez was pulled off waivers, but this afternoon he was dealt to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Nationals received two 23-year-old prospects, right-hander Garrett Mock and left-hander Matt Chico.
David Wright got a nice present from the NY Mets, a 6-year, $55 million contract. The Mets had tied up Jose Reyes earlier in the week.
Former Yankee Ruben Sierra is expected to sign a contract with the Mets for the remainder of the season. Sierra has been tending to his ailing mother and would join the team when rosters expand on Sept. 1.
