MLB transactions on this date in history

* In 2007 the Pirates cut Jonathan Albaladejo. He's now a Yankee. I'd say that turned out to be a good career move.

* In 1995 the White Sox former Mets catcher (and future where-are-they-now subject) Barry Lyons. Here's the story Katie Strang did on the Hurricane Katrina survivor.

* In 1990 the Rangers released Craig McMurtry. His claim to fame is giving up the first home run Barry Bonds hit. I spoke to McMurtry about the experience last year for a Web column.

Slow transaction day. That's about it. Blame retrosheet.org.
