No reason to muddy the waters. Three team trades are more off-season type deals. KISS I apologize. No reason to think outside the box. Good day!

Boston is reportedly looking at Britton. Could the brewers give up Burnes and Broxton for Machado and Britton? Then flip Britton to Boston for some lottery ticket types. Eases the 40 man crunch and nets the Brewers Machado and some guys that are a few years away from rule V. Just a thought.

I took HH's tweet as that Boston just got better, so the odds that the Jays are in contention come July 31, are slimmer. Thus making it a greater chance that they may be interested in dealing Stroman. Just my 2 cents

Wouldn't Thames be the odd man out? Braun to 1st?

My guess is that he ends up with the Phillies or Cubs. I don't think LA is going to go over the luxury tax for him. Add to that he left a bad taste in their mouths with his ws performance. When all is said and done, i really believe he will go to the highest bidder. And i think he will use the brewers interest to get someone to up their offer. Also a guess, Cobb to the crew for 3/50

Dodgers are waiting to clear payroll. Darvish is waiting on the Dodgers. Cubs are waiting on Darvish. Arrieta is waiting on the cubs. Everyone else is just waiting. Sound about right?

I really appreciate the inside info. Makes January somewhat bearable. But, as with any inside info, it needs to be taken in context. Just because the Crew is in talks for someone, doesn't mean it will happen. 9 out of 10 trades discussed don't happen.

Santana is a spectacular fit in that lineup and in that park. Not sure there's a match trade-wise, though. Most of the Red Sox best prospects are lower level guys. I guess that helps stack the system, but doesn't provide immediate dividends. Well if we are adding pieces to this immediate team in the Yelich trade, Santana's trade is replenishing some of that loss. Part C then would be signing a FA SP rather than using Santana to get a guy like Salazar or whomever. Kinda interesting to think then that if Boston is one of Martinez' best places to sign and it hasn't happened maybe on the waiting on Santana trade? That's what I thought this morning. Most of their starting rotation is coming up for free agency these next 2 years. Santanas affordability may allow them to resign a couple of them. They also get an athletic DH who can also play some OF. I don't know their minor league guys very well, so im not sure they match up there.

What about Santana to Boston? They haven't signed JD Martinez yet. Could this be one of the dominoes after a trade for Yelich?
