Red Sox trade Wade Miley to Seattle for Carson Smith and Roenis Elias. Another bullpen upgrade, but Miley was an innings-eater with a decent contract. Even as someone who loves young players with potential, you need some consistency behind David Price, and Clay Buchholz/Rick Porcello/Joe Kelly/Eduardo Rodriguez/Henry Owens/Steven Wright? has some obvious potential downsides. There are rumors we might trade Buchholz too and sign another starter, which would be interesting.
Aroldis Chapman situation is blowing up. As far as I could tell, it was announced as a deal but no one ever reported which prospects were going from LA to Cincy (reportedly no Urias or Seager). Then the Cincinnati GM says he hasn't agreed to a trade, the Dodgers sources disagree, and now reports of a domestic violence altercation involving Chapman and gunshots from October show up and the trade is almost certainly off. Weird, confusing situation.
