The Rangers traded for LHP Matt Moore and gave up a couple of bums

Moore’s star sure has faded. Not long ago this guy was a freakin dude.

The Rangers also got more international pool money. The hell for. They already have the most out there.

The Dodgers have traded 1B Adrian Gonzalez, LHP Scott Kazmir, RHP Brandon McCarthy and INF Charlie Culberson to the Braves in exchange for OF Matt Kemp.

Holy crap. The Dodgers dumped all their dead money in one trade and they only had to give up Charlie Culberson. I like Charlie Culberson but holy crap they dumped all their dead money and only had to give up for Charlie Culberson. Kemp has 2 years left on his deal but at least he's somewhat useful unlike the 3 turds the Dodgers dumped.

#Dodgers now project that they will go under the $197M luxury tax for '18. #Yankees plan to do the same. So now the game's financial monsters will have tax re-set for mammoth fr agt class of 2018-19.

The Padres are paying $7M of that and he's still at least a useful player unlike the 3 guys they dumped. The Dodgers can still trade him and include another decent player to get rid of some if not all of that money. They made a brilliant trade.

Kemp is a worse OF than Schwarber. He's not serviceable.

Huge trade by the Giants and they get to keep Panik and Beede. Posey and Longoria will be a dangerous 3-4.

Among Wade Davis, Jake McGee and Bryan Shaw, the Rockies now have guaranteed $106M to relief pitchers this winter. Add in Mike Dunn and Adam Ottavino, and they may have the most expensive bullpen in baseball history -- upward of $50M this season.

Davis made them cough up the cash. You know his ERA will go up now too. Still a good signing for them though.

Done deal. Astros have a nice 3 headed monster in that rotation now. Really wish the Cubs had made a addition like that, after winning the WS. All they did was add shit fill ins.
