Smith/Uehara/Kimbrel is a strong 7-8-9 for Boston...

Carson Smith is really good.  Can't believe the Mariners would give him up for a pretty ordinary back end starter like Miley.

Chapman trade isn't done yet. Other teams getting involved.

The Mariners have Benoit and who else in the pen?  They've made so many trades I can't keep up.

Rosenthal saying Lind possibly to Mariners as well. Dipoto must have stolen Prellers coffee from last year

Sounds like that trade they made when they sent Rafael Soriano for whoever that mediocre lefty they got in return from Atlanta was a few years ago.

I think most of what Dipoto has done has been pretty smart, though.  Preller just added players for the sake of adding players.

Maybe.  He gutted the bullpen, would be my worry if I was a Mariners fan.  Steamer has Tony Zych as their 3rd best reliever right now.

Not sure what to make of this. But Reds telling teams they haven't yet agreed to trade Aroldis Chapman to LA. I don't think Dodgers agree

They get a lot more if they trade him to four or five teams.

Boy, that's a great trade for Boston.  Seattle definitely seems to be aiming to be this season's asshat.

Chapman to Dodgers might be a multi team trade.

Howard Cole ‏@Howard_Cole  1h1 hour ago
I'm hearing the Dodgers leaked the Chapman trade early, hoping to affect another deal in the works. Reds pissed, took a step back.

Howard Cole ‏@Howard_Cole  1h1 hour ago
Also hearing that Puig has been offered in trade and declined more than once.

This, not the logistics of a multi-team trade, is apparently what is holding up, and may nix, the Chapman trade.

Source confirms report from Yahoo that Chapman trade is indeed being held up by domestic-violence allegation against Chapman.

Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1  4m4 minutes ago
#Dodgers people had counseled earlier in day that more than medical review was holding up deal. Now difficult to see it going thru
