MLB Winter Meetings

Phillies just got a haul fro Ken Giles from the Astros.

Told #Astros trading pitchers Vince Velasquez, Brett Oberholtzer and Brian Fisher to Phillies for closer Ken Giles, pending physicals.

Wow, nice haul for a guy with a very small sample size as an actual closer. Given that return, I'd say Pittsburgh should explore Melancon deals. Not sure what Arizona has left to give back but they need a closer as much as anyone.

I'd like to see the Twins pick up Tony Sipp.

According to Susan Slusser, the Brett Lawrie deal to ChiSox is done. Sox send minor league pitchers Zachary Erwin and J.B. Wendelken to Oakland.

Nothing more useless to a cellar dwelling team than a high end closer

Good decision by the Phillies to trade him

Asdrubal Cabrera signs with the Mets for 2 year, $18.5M

Nice move by the Mets IMO

Their offense still needs work, but this at least provides them with a solid guy to plug into the INF

Are we to assume Daniel Murphy won't be coming back to Queens?

Pretty boring winter meetings.

I would assume that Murphy is going to sign with someone else.

I think was assumed way before now. The Mets traded for Walker and struck out on Zobrist who they were almost certain was going to sign with them.

I just hope Heyward doesn't sign with the Cardinals. Not because I see them as a legitimate threat anymore, but because Twitter will be hilarious
