Hoping LaRoche heads to Milwaukee. He would fill a Grand Canyonesque gap there.

No problem! I love following the offseason transactions!

Didn't know he had such a large option. Seems like a lot to pay for Haren

haha are you being sarcastic? 4 mil for JJ doezn't seem bad, although it was reported that they are trying to work out a smaller more incentive laden deal which seems like a great idea.

It was a player option - considering what Haren might have inked for as a free agent, I think it would have been stupid to decline a $10M option. Had the Dodgers had the option instead of Haren, I doubt the Dodgers would have picked it up. Good news is that $10M is practically nothing for the Dodgers.

Oh a player option. That makes way more sense.

Mike Adams let go.

Go Phillies!

olerud363 · Oct 31, 2014

The Blue Jays have made a number of moves in the last week or so. No really notable guys but I figured I'd mention them.

- Claimed 1B Justin Smoak off waivers from Seattle.
- Traded minor league C Santiago Nessy to KC, re-acquiring minor league P Liam Hendriks (who had been traded to KC at the deadline in the Valentia deal).
- Claimed OF Andy Dirks off waivers from Detroit.
- Signed P Jeff Francis to a minor league deal with an invite to ST.

Brewer Andy · Oct 31, 2014

For Milwaukee: Zach Duke, Francisco Rodriguez, Mark Reynolds, Tom Gorzelanny, and Lyle Overbay (likely retiring) are now free agents

Rickie Weeks option declined

Aramis Ramirez mutual option picked up by Milwaukee, Ramirez has 3 days to respond

rsmath · Nov 1, 2014

Dodgers buy out P Chad Billingsley's $14M player option for $3M - Billingsley becomes free agent

u2me57 · Nov 1, 2014

A.J. Burnett gone. Go Phillies!

Baltimore didn't agree on the option for Markakis

At 17.5 million I can't imagine why.

Ramirez picked up his side so he will be back! A bit surprised but it is said that he loves Milwaukee so it makes sense.

Who do you all think will receive QO's? Here's the list of who I think will be offered QO's by the deadline today:
Braves- Ervin Santana
Orioles- Nelson Cruz
Tigers- Victor Martinez and Scherzer
Royals- James Shields
Dodgers- Hanley Ramirez
Yankees- David Robertson
A's- Jon Lester
Pirates- Russell Martin
Giants- Pablo Sandoval
Blue Jays-Melky Cabrera

That is it IMO. Does anyone accept? I think Robertson would be most likely but I don't think that he will.
