Not as much a transaction as it is the lack thereof, but this is surprising given the success of Jung Ho Kang:
According to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports, no major league teams submitted bids on Korean third baseman Jae-gyun Hwang.
Hwang will return to his Korean club for the final season of his contract before hitting free agency. It's shocking that he didn't generate any interest after slashing .290/.350/.521 with 26 homers and 97 RBI over 144 games for the Lotte Giants in 2015, especially given the shallow free agent market for third baseman.

Jedd Gyorko and buckets of cash traded to the Cardinals for Jon Jay.
Gyorko will be a utility infielder. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/14...padres-jon-jay
All of your Hamilton jokes are belong to the Padres.

Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View PostJay is blah, but a solid defender and LH contact bat which the Padres need. They'll be sending only about 6-7 million of the 32 owed Gyorko. Sources says this clears more room to sign Ian Desmond, but you know how those sources are...."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."
