Keep on selling, Diamondbacks – Martin Prado and the two and a half years remaining on his contract are heading to the Diamondbacks. Prado is hitting .270/.317/.370 this year with Arizona, playing mainly at third base. Due to their recent trades of both Chase Headley and Stephen Drew, it’s initially unclear where Prado will play […]

I didn’t think it would happen, but it did – David Price is on the move. The Rays have dealt their ace to the Detroit Tigers in a three-team deal also involving the Seattle Mariners. There’s still a lot to unwrap here, but it looks like the Rays got Franklin and Smyly for Price, with […]

The Boston Red Sox have continued making moves, dealing Stephen Drew to the Yankees for Kelly Johnson. Drew has been terrible since the Red Sox re-signed him earlier this summer. In 39 games, Drew has hit a paltry .176/.255/.328 with four homers and hasn’t given the Red Sox the boost they expected at all since […]

The Red Sox have made their fifth trade in the last week, moving reliever Andrew Miller to the Orioles in exchange for minor leaguer Eduardo Rodriguez. Miller is having his best year as a major leaguer in 2014, pitching to a 2.34 ERA in 42 1/3 innings, punching out 69 and walking just 13. The […]

Washington is clearly concerned about the health of Ryan Zimmerman, as they’ve acquired shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera from the Indians in exchange for Zach Walters. He’ll likely get most of the reps at second base, deposing Danny Espinosa from the position. Cabrera’s trade value has decreased in recent years for the Tribe. This season, his final […]

The Seattle Mariners needed offense, and they get some offense – though I’m not sure if they really needed a platoon outfielder like Chris Denorfia. Denorfia is hitting just .242/.293/.319 this year, but over his lengthy career, he has a .301/.367/.443 triple slash against left-handers. When you consider that as a team, Seattle is hitting […]

The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired Gerardo Parra from the Arizona Diamondbacks, adding his typically solid glove to their bench. Parra is still under team control through next season. He won Gold Gloves in both 2011 and 2013, but his performance has decreased substantially this year. Parra also has had a worse year offensively in 2014, […]

The Red Sox have dealt away their fourth starting pitcher in the span of a week, sending John Lackey to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for Allen Craig and Joe Kelly. The 35-year old Lackey has a 3.60 ERA in 21 starts for the Red Sox this season, and because of his Tommy John […]

With an abundance of starting pitching following this morning’s Jon Lester trade, the Oakland Athletics have flipped Tommy Milone to the Twins for Sam Fuld. Milone had a 3.55 ERA in 16 major league starts this season, but was demoted to AAA following Oakland’s acquisitions of Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel at the beginning of […]

Jon Lester has been moved, and while the location isn’t necessarily a surprise, the return has many mouths agape. Jon Lester and Jonny Gomes from Boston to Oakland in exchange for Yoenis Cespedes. You wanted a blockbuster? You got a blockbuster. The Red Sox also picked up a competitive balance pick from the A’s in […]

When Manny Machado made this throw, he was a good four steps into foul territory, going away from the infield cutout. His throw to first base didn’t bounce at all, and still managed to nab Albert Pujols by a good ten feet. I think he’s healthy, folks.

This is just awful. The Pirates had a chance to blow their game with the Giants wide open in the sixth inning after Jean Machi walked Chris Stewart to load the bases with one out. And then…disaster. Travis Snider, who was on second base at the time of the walk, inexplicably began to trot down […]

Hey, the Cubs are still active at the trade deadline! But instead of selling at this moment, they’re…buying? Felix Doubront looked like a nice buy low candidate this summer, especially after he seemingly burned his bridges with Boston by demanding some stability in his career. He’ll head to the Cubs with all three of his […]

The trade deadline is in a little more than 25 hours, but the chaos has already begun. The Cleveland Indians are sending starting pitcher Justin Masterson to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for minor league outfielder James Ramsey. The 29-year old Masterson will be a free agent at the end of the year, and […]
