Also, Daniel Murphy is going to the Rockies.  He will likely play 1B there and let Ian Desmond go back to the outfield.  Profar goes to the A's and Domingo Santana goes to the Mariners for Ben Gamel and a prospect.

I'm not sure Machado will go to the Yankees, although he probably wants to.  They won't offer him the deal the Phillies or White Sox will and the White Sox are going to have to come up with the best offer in both money and years, guaranteed along with a full no-trade clause.   Harper wants to be...

The White Sox should be relevant again, but don't expect them to do so this season.  A couple of additions will not bring them 30 more wins.

The White Sox just brought in Machado's brother in law -- Yonder Alonso -- to play 1B so Abreu can move to DH.  Not sure this will have a lot of effect, but they get along great and would enjoy playing together.

By the writers, to the writers' wing.

It was an idea proposed on the MLB Network yesterday.  It would replace the last couple of years of his current deal.

Would this be a good idea for the Angels to sign him to this long term extension?

$17MM/year?  Could be be their closer if Kimbrel decides to go elsewhere?

The Cards got better.

If the M's send $60MM, this becomes a really good deal for the Mets.  They become a lot better and free up a lot of salary space.

Here is a list of all of the non-tendered players: https://www.mlb.com/news/list-of-non-tendered-players-new-free-agents/c-301309678?tid=282421090 Some surprises, others were predictable.  Many will find new jobs soon, others may retire.

The Mets get better and the Mariners get a couple of very good prospects in the deal. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/11/significant-momentum-mets-trade-rumors-mariners-acquire-robinson-cano-edwin-diaz.html I might get a chance to see Kelenic next summer.  I expect the Mariners to assign him...

The Cubs moved Tommy LaStella to the Angels for cash or the PTBNL.

The Mets are a better team at the major league level after this deal.  If they take all of Cano's contract, it won't be as costly in players.

Twins got CJ Cron off the waiver wire to play 1B next season.

Is this the year Edgar Martinez finally gets in?
