The Yankees trade Raul Mondesi to Arizona after his public fallout, sending David Dellucci and two minor leaguers to New York. Five trades total involve 19 players, including Chicago's Scott Schoeneweis to Anaheim for Gary Glover and prospects, and Rey Sanchez to Seattle for Kenny Kelly. Dan Miceli heads to Houston for a player to be named or cash.
