Giants are working hard to get Cole Hamels
And Nats working hard to get Jonathan Papelbon

Also I'm pretty sure AA did this so he could deal EE or Bautista for Samardzija or Kimbrel.

1:36pm: Two as-yet-unnamed pitchers are going to Oakland in the trade, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports tweets.

1:31pm: The Royals have agreed to acquire Athletics utilityman Ben Zobrist, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter). That makes for the second major rental piece heading to Kansas City this summer, as the club already picked up Johnny Cueto from the Reds.

The Nationals announced on Tuesday evening that they have acquired closer Jonathan Papelbon from the Phillies in exchange for Double-A right-hander Nick Pivetta. Not only has the team acquired Papelbon, though, they also announced that they have signed him through the 2016 season. Papelbon and the Nationals have reportedly agreed to restructure the pre-existing club/vesting option on his contract, reducing the value from $13MM to $11MM in exchange for having the option immediately exercised. The Phillies also announced the move, adding that they sent cash considerations to Washington along with Papelbon.

Daniel Norris, Jairo Labourt, and Matt Boyd to Tigers for David Price


I am actually pretty annoyed with this one... Our best pitching prospect for a rental, right after giving up our other best pitching prospect in Hoffman...


I guess as long as they pay him big bucks at the end of the season so it isnt a rental
