The Padres are going for it!

They gave up LHP prospect Max Fried and 3 others.

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.

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.
