Mets acquired Neil Walker for Jon Niese.Bob- I'm not exactly sure it would ROCK as you say it Byron.. it may be cool, by typical text book descriptions. Your opinion of this is shallow and poorly constructed, but allow me to re-craft your initial thought into something tangable.

White Sox get Brett Lawrie...
8:06pm: The White Sox and Athletics are apparently back on board with a trade sending infielder Brett Lawrie to Chicago, with Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reporting (Twitter links) that the deal “sounds done” and could be announced soon. Dan Hayes of CSNChicago.com tweets that the agreement is done.
Young lefty Zachary Erwin and righty J.B. Wendelken make up the return to the A’s, Slusser tweets."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
- Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)
"Your shitty future continues to offend me."

Brett Lawrie has been a big disappointment so far in his career, but given the White Sox desperate need for a 3bman, and that they gave next to nothing to get him, I like the move. He may never pan out, but I still like his upside. He is a gamble, but one worth taking for them for what they gave.

Kind of a strange move by the Mets to pay ~20mil for Walker and Cabrera when they already have Wright/Flores/Tejada/Herrera/Duda in their infield.
I thought the Walker deal made a ton of sense for them - he's not much worse than Zobrist, costs a bit less this year and then he's gone. And all they give up is one of many depth SPs.
I can see how this makes sense for the Pirates too - if Niese is good they get 160-180 innings for 3 years at around 30mil. Walker is fine, but they weren't re-signing him. But now they are committed to a rehabbing Kang, a mediocre Mercer and a multi-position guy asset in J-Hey at 2B for their infield. Unless they can make a big splash at 1B, which seems unlikely, their lineup isn't going to be that great next year. They need a leap from Polanco and Kang to hit like he was hitting before he got hurt.

scott borass is now looking for a team to pay $200,000,000 to chris davis.
Earlier today it was suggested the O's increased their original offer but they have denied any increase and have, in fact, withdrawn their offer...
The Orioles have reportedly offered first baseman Chris Davis roughly $150MM to return to Baltimore. Read more at MLB Trade Rumors.
Can this turn into 'prince fielder' if a team has an injury?

Ken Giles trade changed slightly - instead of Derek Fisher, Phillies get Mark Appel.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.
