Final listing of all non-waiver deadline trades: http://m.mlb.com/news/article/245587634/yu-darvish-sonny-gray-biggest-names-traded/?topicId=27118122

The collision between Yoan Moncada and Willy Garcia yesterday was scary.  I'm just glad Moncada's knee was bent.  Had it been straight, he would likely have torn his ACL and been out for a long time.  Garcia will likely have to pass all the concussion tests before he can play again.  I don't...

Jamie Garcia to the Yankees for a couple of pitching prospects.  He could be flipped to Oakland for Sonny Gray.

Neshek to the Rockies.

For those interested in following the young kids that teams sign: http://www.baseballamerica.com/international/2017-top-50-international-prospects-july-2/#Yc8RBuM361FLzjqM.97 These kids are, in many cases, very raw and will not make an impact on the major league team for at least 4 years...

Twins picked up Jaime Garcia and Anthony Recker for Huascar Ynoa and $$$.

Watch where Torres is on next spring's list.  That will be more reasonable.  His arm is one of his main assets, although the rest of his scouting report is pretty good as well.

That was an absolute bomb.  One of the longest homers ever hit.

Rutherford was the key player for the Sox in this deal.  They have improved their overall team a lot this month.  They have moved some major league assets for some talent to rebuild their minor league system.   Just for the record, Dozier's dWar (from baseball reference) is 3.8 over his career...

Rumor has it that JD Martinez is going to the D'Backs, per MLB Network. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/887438913727549441

I just know what I see with my own eyes (do you actually watch the game or just read stats from one site?).  Garcia is one of the worst all-time fielders in right.  He's why Adam Eaton was playing out of position last year for the Sox.  At one time, I was a better fielder than Garcia. Also...

Michael Pineda will undergo TJ surgery and may be lost for 2018 also.

The Nationals picked up a couple of bullpen arms from the A's.  Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson go to Washington for Blake Treinen, Jesus Luzardo (#15 prospect -- lefty starter) and 3B Sheldon Neuse (#17 prospect).  Not a lot of cost for what could fix their entire team.

Not good news for the Yankees.  Pineda is a fine young pitcher.  I hope he can return to form.

Bert Blyleven was asked what he thought a quality start was and he said 7+ innings with 2 or fewer runs allowed.  

This coming from the guy that says that Dozier is a below average fielder....... I use my eyes, not some nebulous statistics.  Garcia is one of the worst fielders I have ever seen in the outfield.  Happ would have been an upgrade.  Jimenez, though not nearly ready for the majors, would be a...

Happ would be a whole lot better than Garcia in the outfield.  Garcia is a horrible fielder.

If Britton is healthy, that would give the Dodgers a very short game.  Britton in the 8th and then Jansen in the 9th?  7 inning games are always nice.

Mad Dog just said that the Sox should have held out for Ian Happ.  He's far better than Jimenez.  They might not have gotten the pitching prospect, but they would have improved their outfield defense immediately.  I concur.
