Brewers traded Devin Williams to the Yankees

Astros look close to trading Kyle Tucker to the Cubs. Seven divisional championships in the last eight years, two World Series wins and two more league pennants. With Tucker out and Bregman likely to leave via free agency, the Astros' dominant run may be over.

Trade is done. Cubs traded Isaac Paredes, Hayden Wesneski, and Cam Smith for Tucker.

Some fans are worried cause Tucker is opting for free agency after the season, but this is the shot in the arm the Cubs needed. Tucker is the best position player they've had since 2015-17 Kris Bryant. I'm ecstatic.

Cubs added and Milwaukee subtracted today.

Cody Bellinger to the Yankees.

 

[Brocklock]

Had to be done. Once they traded for Tucker, there was no room for Cody. Cody was great his first year, but the production last year didn't match his contract. I imagine he'll pick it up and hit like gangbusters at Yankee Stadium. Very likable guy that's easy to root for.

Edit: I read that they are only on the hook for 2.5 million for this year and next year if Cody opts in with the Yankees. Earlier reports were saying the Yankees wanted them to pay 12 million of the salary, so this is huge and makes the trade an even one imo.

He's finally going to be at the Cubs convention. I'm really happy. Sammy was incredible and shouldn't be forgotten or blacklisted.

White Sox acquired LHP Cam Booser from the Red Sox for RHP Yhoiker Fajardo.
Diamondbacks acquired INF Josh Naylor from the Guardians for RHP Slade Cecconi and a Competitive Balance Round B selection.
Reds acquired C Jose Trevino from the Yankees for RHP Fernando Cruz and C Alex Jackson.

Getting the band back together: Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Guardians are signing Carlos Santana to a one-year deal for $12 million.

Phillies signed OF Max Kepler to a one-year, $10 million contract.

Sean Manaea stays with the Mets 3 yrs/75 million

White Sox acquired LHP Cam Booser from the Red Sox for RHP Yhoiker Fajardo.

I am reasonably confident you just made those names up.

 

[Gert]

Corbin Burnes to the DBacks at 6/210. Think I like that deal better than the Fried one. Although he has an opt out after 2.

 

[HarleyQuinn]

Good deal for the Dodgers: Yancen Pujols reports that the Dodgers have re-signed outfielder Teoscar Hernández to a three-year, $66 million contract. Jeff Passan of ESPN adds that the contract includes a $15 million option for a fourth season, a $23 million signing bonus and more than $23 million in deferred money.

Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reports that the Yankees have signed Brennen Davis to a minor league contract. I remember when this guy had a lot of hype around him in the minor leagues but he seems to have fallen off a cliff since 2022 (.203 BA in 167 AAA games).

 

[Gert]

Verlander to the Giants on a 1 year deal. I guess if there’s a good place for him to pitch, SF would be the answer. I think he’s done but I would to see how close he can get to 300 wins so this isn’t a bad thing.
