MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

Exactly.  Sox traded for high K, low BB, power hitter.  Color me shocked.  For a bunch of shit "prospects".

Also another aging guy from the NL. Yeah, that always works out for them.

Wow..caller on the Score excited because Frazier walks up to Frank Sinatra.  Good Lord.

Sounds like the consensus is that the Dodgers did much better than the Reds, which means Jocketty sucks.  The Sox didn't get anything other than Frazier in the deal, so the Reds could have gotten what the Dodgers got from the Sox instead.

If there is such a thing as winning/losing the offseason, it's clear that Jocketty is actively trying the lose this particular offseason.

I remember a time when he was considered one of the best, if not THE best, in the business.

There's quite a bit to break down here. What's immediately apparent is that two teams did quite well in this trade, while one team tripped over themselves and fell face down into a pile of excrement.

It's almost as if the Dodgers inserted themselves into the deal, stole the prospect package that the Reds received as it was en route to Cincinnati, and shipped the Reds the Peraza package in its stead. It's a mystifying deal for Cincinnati. Between this and possibly hiding the Aroldis Chapman incident from the Dodgers, their front office has had quite an offseason.

I recommend one gets the flavor of that twitter feed. I'm pretty sure it's satire.
