Cubs signed Austin Romine (1 yr/1.5m)
Twins signed Derek Holland to a minor league deal
Braves signed Pablo Sandoval to a minor league deal
Nationals re-signed Ryan Zimmerman (1 year/1m)

The Tigers signed Holland...probably too expensive for the Twins.

Thanks...I needed a good laugh after the Packers debacle yesterday.

The Evil Empires made a deal - Ottavino goes to the Red Sox, along with a minor leaguer and about 10% of his salary, for a PTNBL to the Yankees.

Presumably clearing cap space for... wait for it... Brett Gardner!

When was the last time the Red Sox & Yanks made a trade? 1919?

Cesar Hernandez to the...INDIANS! Who woulda seen that coming?

Per Jon Heyman...

Guess Cleveland isn't ready to fully invest in their youth movement just yet. This way, allows Gimenez a little more time to develop, or Cleveland is really serious about shopping Jose Ramirez and is going to move Hernandez to third base.

Could also signal Amed Rosario to outfield. Though, or course, center is the one spot Cleveland has semi-capable options.

If I were Cleveland, I'd trade Terry Francona to a contending team.

Or Gimenez to SS, Cesar to 2B and ARosario to the OF.

Semien to the BJs for a reported 1 yr. / $18M

Semien to the BJs for a reported 1 yr. / $18M

So much for Vladdy JR back at 3rd...looks like Biggio sliding over to 3rd and Semien over to 2nd. I'm guessing that Tellez is now pretty much a bench bat...
