There has been no official announcement yet, but ESPN.com is reporting that the Eric Gagne trade is done. The reliever, who has waived his no-trade clause after the Red Sox agreed to pay certain contract incentives, will come to Boston in exchange for pitcher Kason Gabbard, outfielder David Murphy, and 17-year-old minor leaguer Engel Beltre.

Trade Deadline Update: 12:28pm

The Sox announced they have traded pitcher Joel Piñeiro and cash to the St. Louis Cardinals for a player to be named later.
WEEI is reporting that the rumored trade that would bring Jermaine Dye to Boston is looking less likely as time passes. Gordon Edes writes that Dye’s agent has not received inquiries about waiving the outfielder’s no-trade clause.
According to ESPN.com Insider ($ubscription required):
With just a few hours left before the trade deadline, it appears the Texas Rangers will trade closer Eric Gagne to either the Red Sox, Brewers or the Mets, baseball sources told ESPN’s Buster Olney.
But the Brewers and Mets are skeptical that they’re the front-runners, which means the Red Sox might end up landing the former Cy Young winner.
