Baseball's trade market sprang to life with a pair of swaps two days after the World Series.

The Chicago White Sox acquired Mark Teahen from the Kansas City Royals on Friday for infielders Josh Fields and Chris Getz and cash, and Minnesota obtained shortstop J.J. Hardy from Milwaukee for outfielder Carlos Gomez, one of the players the Mets sent to the Twins in the Johan Santana deal.

Two pitchers were blocked from becoming eligible for free agency when teams exercised their 2010 options. Cliff Lee, who beat the Yankees twice in the World Series, gets a $9 million salary from Philadelphia next year. Brandon Webb, the 2006 NL Cy Young Award winner, receives $8.5 million from Arizona rather than a $2 million buyout.

Reliever J.J. Putz's $9.1 million option was declined by the Mets, who will pay a $1 million buyout. Washington declined a $10 million option and chose to pay a $1 million buyout to outfielder Austin Kearns, who was bothered by a thumb injury and hit just .195.

Colorado turned down options on catcher Yorvit Torrealba ($4 million) and left-hander Alan Embree ($3 million). Torrealba gets a $500,000 buyout, and Embree $250,000.

The Chicago White Sox declined a $12 million mutual option on right fielder Jermaine Dye. The 2005 World Series MVP gets a $950,000 buyout and immediately filed for free agency.

"Money is tight all over the world and certainly on the South Side," Chicago general manager Ken Williams said. "We're

going to spend whatever we have available, but it's not much."

Milwaukee declined a $3.7 million option on right-hander David Weathers, who gets a $400,000 buyout.

The Angels' Vladimir Guerrero, Chone Figgins and Kelvim Escobar were among 39 players who filed Friday, raising the total of free agents to 118. Also filing were three members of the NL champion Philadelphia Phillies: Pedro Martinez, Brett Myers and Miguel Cairo.

About 65 additional players are potentially eligible to file by the Nov. 19 deadline. Free agents can start negotiating money with all teams the following day.

Kansas City also declined options for outfielder Coco Crisp ($8 million), catcher Miguel Olivo ($3.3 million) and right-hander Yasuhiko Yabuta ($4 million).
