Anyone heard or read that Votto is being offered? We know Cinn wants to shed salary and don't seem to have the pieces to win this year (or next), this seems lke the logical piece to take offers on. Seems like a reasonable deal could be made, esp if Sox take on Votto' full salary.

The New York Daily News' Mark Feinsand reports that the Yankees and Cubs have discussed a swap of Brett Gardner and Starlin Castro
Is it me or does that just make a TON of sense. Sure, NYY would love to get rid of JE but that's not happening. They need an upgrade at 2B which Castro would certainly be. Move Beltran over to LF and make room for Aaron Judge.
CHC gets their replacement for Dexter Fowler (while also getting a comp pick for him).
ADD: Of course, the bigger fear is that they'd be clearing room in the OF for Jason Hayward (and use Judge to get a SP).

If they don't get Heyward they'll get Harper. Not much you can do to avoid that.
I'm just hoping NY trades Judge this offseason.

Danny Hultzen has been designated for assignment.
Given the weak back-end of their 40-man, the Red Sox should go for it.

It's actually insane to think that Bryce Harper hit 22 homers with an .817 OPS as a 19 year old, and .330/.460 with a 1.109 OPS and 42 homers at 22. I don't know how he could even improve when he hits those peak years, but if he's at Yankee Stadium, I'm not counting out a consecutive string of video game numbers' seasons. He already did that this past season anyway, pretty much.

Appears Hultzen is out of options, so anyone claiming him will have to plan on 'mystery DLing' him or burning a 25-man spot.
He was shut down multiple time last year and has only pitched 8 innings over the past two years, so it would surprise me if he's ready to be a major league contributor. Would still be a great grab for a team like the Braves.

Would still be a great grab for a team like the Braves. As a 2011 draftee, he should be eligible for a fourth option, right? Or is that not applicable because his DL time on 2014 counts as being on the major league roster? Also, even without an option remaining I'd take him on.

Cameron Maybin gets traded from the Braves back to the Tigers for Ian Krol and old friend Gabe Speier. The Braves are taking the saving money thing really seriously. Maybe we can snag something from their firesale. I wonder if they'd be interested in JBJ now that Maybin is gone.

From a team/future perspective, it doesn't make much sense to keep Freeman, as the plan clearly looks like its to build towards 2018 and beyond, the back end of Freeman's deal and his 30, 31, 32 year old seasons.
Even with the deals they've made, they're farm system still doesn't portray a team that is within 2-3 years of getting major contributions from the system. They got the one top end guy in Newcomb for Simmons, adding another or two for Freeman would turn the farm system up a whole other level.
The only reason to keep him is to keep at least some interest in the MLB club, because without him, yikes. Swisher/Bourn/Markakis don't exactly scream excitement

Allan Webster designated. A trade we were all suspect of last year dosnt look so bad. Actually, so far we lose that one. DeLa Rosa had a good year in the desert compared to Wade Miley. Always liked Allen Webster. He's got a great arm with movement on his pitches. For one reason or another, he hasn't been able to take command in a ML situation. He won five games for the Sox in 2014. There's got to be a place for him somewhere.

Wade Miley was probably are most consistent starter and actually had a decent year for a number 4 starter.
