- July 25 - Nevin rejected a trade that would have sent him to the Baltimore Orioles for pitcher Sidney Ponson. The proposed deal was contingent upon Nevin's approval. He had the right to block a trade to all but eight teams, including the Orioles. [1]
- July 29 - Traded to the Texas Rangers for Chan Ho Park
[edit] 2006
On May 31, he was traded to the Chicago Cubs; the Texas Rangers were believed to be paying the majority of the amount still due to him on his contract. In return the Texas Rangers received second baseman/outfielder Jerry Hairston, Jr.. On August 31, the Minnesota Twins announced the trade of Nevin from the Cubs to the Twins for a player to be named later and "cash considerations." To make room for Nevin, Twins' outfielder Shannon Stewart was placed on the 60-day disabled list. [2]
