2K19: Offseason Transaction Thread

Rangers trade Jurickson Profar to the A's, per Jeff Passan. No word on the return yet.

EDIT -- looks like it's a 3-team deal also involving the Rays.

Passan says the Rangers will receive prospects Brock Burke, Eli White, Kyle Bird, Yoel Espinal and international bonus pool money, while the Rays will get reliever Emilio Pagan, prospect Rollie Lacy and a competitive balance pick.

Emilio Pagan coming to Rays as they were looking for someone to replace Romo's ability vs RH hitters

Does this further block Barreto's chances in Oakland?

Definitely, barring a Semien trade. Seems like they were very interested in other options than barreto, so something must be up with him.

Milwaukee trades Domingo Santana to Seattle for Ben Gamel

Does he start? I dont see where. Bruce, smith, hanigan in the OF, EE at DH. Unless they move bruce, he seems like a 4th OFer. A shame as I think he has potential if given a chance.

I'd guess, knowing them, they'll move one of them soon.

Yeah, maybe Bruce. Or maybe he plays over healy?

EE is going to be gone, there's no way that Seattle carries that contract into the season with the re-build that they're doing.

In any case, getting Santana for Gamel was highway robbery. What was MLW thinking?

I'm guessing that the Brewers simply wanted a little more flexibility, cost control, and a reserve who'll be OK if he has to play, and not make waves when he doesn't.

Not a huge call for a player who's essentially a DH, no matter how good his bat might be.

How the mighty have fallen. A year ago Santana was a hot commodity.

You're right, but the market for EE has got to be really thin : how many AL teams that aren't rebuilding don't have a half decent option at DH already ... maybe the rays but that ship likely sailed when the trade was first made... maybe the twins... I don't really see any other matches
