It’s been a wild few days, to say the least. Let’s take a look at all the deals that went down and the fantasy ramifications they brought with them:
The Seattle Mariners traded C/1B Jeff Clement (Triple-A), SS Ronny Cedeno, RHP Nathan Adcock (Single-A), RHP Brett Lorin (Single-A) & RHP Aaron Pribanic (Single-A) to the Pittsburgh [...]
There were a few other trades made today (that have been announced so far) that are worth mentioning here:
According to John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer (click here for the post) the Reds have acquired Scott Rolen for Edwin Encarnacion, Josh Roenicke & Zach Stewart. That seems like a lot for the Reds to have given up, [...]

In dire need of a jolt to their offense, the Boston Red Sox have acquired C/1B Victor Martinez from the Cleveland Indians for right-hander Justin Masterson, left-handed pitching prospect Nick Hagadone, and right-handed pitching prospect Bryan Price.
The big news maker here is obviously Victor Martinez headed to the Red Sox, but I can’t [...]
Adam LaRoche wasn’t in Boston long. With the team having acquired Victor Martinez, reports are that LaRoche has been dealt to Atlanta in exchange for Casey Kotchman, according to Danny Knobler of CBS Sports (click here for the story).
I hope you didn’t give up on LaRoche after he was dealt to the Red Sox, as [...]

Orlando Cabrera provides an immediate upgrade for the Twins at SS over Nick Punto or even Alexi Casilla at 2B, but won’t really see his fantasy value increase that much. Batting .280 [...]
The Detroit Tigers have strengthened their rotation, dealing LHP Luke French & LHP Mauricio Robles to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for Jarrod Washburn.
Washburn’s stock increases slightly, due to an increased wins potential, but I would still be concerned of an impending regression in general. He’s 8-8 with a 2.64 ERA and 1.07 WHIP this [...]
Gavin Floyd, Yovani Gallardo & Johan Santana were among those who dazzled on the mound. Michael Young continued to turn back the clock at the plate. Corey Hart has finally gotten things going. Let’s look at these stores and all the rest from yesterday’s games:
Baltimore 7, Kansas City 3
Luke Hochevar got bombed for 7 runs [...]
According to Ken Gurnick of mlb.com (click here for his post), the Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired George Sherrill from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for 3B Josh Bell and RHP Steve Johnson.
This is a great move for the Dodgers to solidify their bullpen, especially with Jonathan Broxton still suffering from the effects of a [...]
