The Padres are going for it!
They gave up LHP prospect Max Fried and 3 others.
The Padres are also getting Will Middlebrooks from Boston for C Hanigan.
Smackie: odds the Braves are confused on which Upton they've agreed to trade? 1 in 6?

Nice.
It looks like the entire NL save for SD, LA and the Nats are building for the future. Good news for those three teams competing for a World Series spot.
EDIT: Forgot about the Marlins - they're also playing for the now. Just picked up Prado and Phelps from the Yankees for Eovaldi and Jones.
Rays sign Asdrubal Cabrera to a one year deal worth $8m. Weird - thought he'd get a longer deal with a contender for sure.
Mariners are about to acquire Seth Smith from the Padres. One less OF option for the O's.

They may end up with a one year deal for Rasmus, a la Cruz last year.
Marlon Byrd traded to the Reds.
Danorfia to the Cubs.
OF options getting thinner and thinner.

Unit, Pedro, Smoltz and Biggio. No Piazza.

So I was only wrong on Smoltz, but I was pretty wrong there. 82.7% is impressive.
A's acquire Zobrist and Yunel Escobar for Jaso and 2 prospects. Never count Beane out…
Mike Foltynewicz, Rio Ruiz and RHP Andrew Thurman going from Astros to Braves for Evan Gattis.
Nori Aoki to the Giants on a 1 year, $4m deal plus incentives.
Absolutely someone who I would never sign and is exactly who the Giants would sign. Can't wait to watch him in that spacious outfield.

Tigers and Price agree to one year deal to avoid arbitration ($19.75m).
I was hoping a long term deal would clear up the future of Scherzer. This does nothing.

Are you not planning on being in first place at that time? Because there's no way that deal happens if the Tigers are leading the division.
vansmack wrote:I realize short of the wheels falling off, they'll never actually DO it. That doesn't mean it's not a good idea. The Tigers are highly leveraged in big $$ players with decreasing returns over the next five seasons. Their farm system is mostly in shambles. Why not, you know, be smart for once?Julian, wrote:I still say give Scherzer what he wants and trade Price to replenish the farm system at the trade deadline.

Apparently Jamie Shields is in talks with Detroit. (Or Shields agent would like people to think he is.)

I absolutely would think this is true if Price had signed a long term deal. There's no way the Tigers lose Scherzer and Price and turn that into just Shields.
